Because I have reinvented myself in my own mind so many times that the difference defines me, and to do it again is boring. But not really. There is a core underneath that is always the same. Always aware, always amused yet compassionate towards the false starts, the amorphous ideas, the first few sentences and paragraphs from vast assortments of unfinished books, papers, articles, recipes, instructions, criticisms, software, hardware, wetware, dryware.
So here, now, I’m just going to start letting it out. I’m not going to post random thoughts on Facebook. I’m going to own and present my words on my own website. I’m going to write about the things I’m interested in. I’m going to write about the things I think are important. I’m going to write about things that I find helpful in my own understanding of myself, especially those that I find challenging, especially those where I found a way of understanding it which came to me when trying to reconcile two different ideas that didn’t seem to fit together in my mind. This blog is a place for me to explore, and share my findings, for better or worse.
On this site, I will be trying out various web development techniques. Clearly API interactions and displaying them as tools on pages would be a good skill for me to be better at developing, so I am setting my intentions to do that. There is always room for trying out new CSS techniques, especially regarding scrolling options. Javascript should seamlessly activate more navigation and animation functionality, but only when the effect cannot possibly be done with CSS alone. In keeping with modern web standards, all of these effects will be Accessible meeting the WCAG Website Compliance Standards.
