Personal websites can end up looking a bit odd.

They’re a mix of all sorts of content, thoughts, and character, and that’s great! This is what makes it personal, it’s a reflection of all the things that make up who we are. I’ve been wanting to have something like this for a while, but I’ve not been convinced by blogging, or other content publishing services in the past. I like to know that I’m in control of the content I create, and how it’s shared, so I’ve finally made some changes to this site to make it easier to update when I’ve got something I want to share or reflect on.

The “Specialisation is for insects” quotes is one that’s always stuck with me. Heinlein is one of my favourite authors, and here he reminds me that having a broad range of diverse interests is a Good Thing, that the key skill we need is adaptability to be able to pick up new things or go deeper into a subject when necessary, and that it’s the combination of these things that make us who we are.

This site will end up covering things I find interesting, and that will probably change as I go. How it will do that, or what that will look like I’m not sure, but it’ll be interesting finding out.
