First 11ty Post

Welcome to 11ty

Welcome to the weird. Welcome to my new and improving statically generated site. A few years ago I made a career change and got into IT. Many years later, I decided that my blog wasn't nerdy enough. That led me down a rabbit-hole that introduce me to SSG (Static Site Generators). These are tools that generate html to be presented as a website. There's no CMS, minimal JavaScript, and all nerd.

Around that same time, I was introduced to "Digital Gardens". You can view mine here. This is a living webpage that will grow and evolve over time. It's been a lot of fun to build, and I'm looking forward to have it keep going.

What is it?

  • An organic site that will grow
  • A place for my thoughts, rants, and pontifications
  • A journaling tool
  • A weird place on the Internet
  • A testing ground for the Indieweb
  • Full of my hubris
  • Fun things with the Fediverse

What isn't it?

  • An SEO optimized content delivery platform
  • A good example of code.

What's here?

Has it been a minute since we talked? Want to know what I'm up to? Check out my Now page.

Curious about the tools and tech I use? It's all on my /uses page!

That's it. I think it's time to go and see what I do.

Thanks
