Setting Expectations

I am not going to be updating this blog often, but the hope is that I will post interesting things on it from time to time

Why did I start this?

In a nutshell, the web is too large with too many technologies. While a lot of things have been developed to make our lives easier -- things which I use -- I feel like we're slowly losing sight of the technology which powers our layers of abstraction.

It's not just the web, either. Our personal computers are capable of immense amounts of processing, but due to the externalities of excessive capitalism, our ability to do useful or advanced things on them feels like it goes down as years move.

The inciting event for my creation of this blog is Reddit's API strike. I used Reddit a lot. It was a treasure trove of useful, human information. While, yes, I am not their intended audience any longer, I am finding that we need to move the information we found there elsewhere. To sites like this one.
