Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Digital Gardening

Some thoughts on digital gardening.

- You don't have to have things totally edited to post them. For example, I'd normally spend a big chunk of time editing this entry for the home page. Right now, I'm just putting it out. I'll edit it down later. - It's a place for ideas to grow. Things don't have to be complete or finalized. Growing them is part of it. - Thinks of projects and pages as plants to grow. Think of ideas as seeds. But, instead of keeping them in your head plant them and then work on them. - Experiment. Try new things with new tools. - Dial back the critical eye. Publish the incomplete and unedited. - Publish notes as well as posts. - Use curation instead of chronologial link lists. - Other folks talk about posting stuff they learn. I already do some of that, but this will go to the next level when I start publishing my notes, scratchpads, and snippits.
