are.na
are.na is my favorite non-social social media site. (There are social elements but I don't use them.) It's probably exploding with copyright violations but it's a wonderful way to collect visual and text media into buckets of thought for reflection.
general interest channels
- intersections: media that falls at the intersection of technology and ___, with the blank being something I'm thinking about at the moment.
- digital library: collection of PDF books that look interesting or which I've already read so I put them here as a recommendation.
- time: Things that make me think of time, or the human perception/understanding of time. I started this after reading The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli.
- digitalgarden: A compilation of resources and ideas related to digital gardening. Every time I come across a digital garden site I drop the link here too.
- pandemic reflections: I tried to capture ideas and thoughts from the stuff I learned 2020-2023. I don't update this anymore and it's a good time capsule of a few years of my life.
seasonal channels
I only update these during the season and I add things that intensely make me feel "in that season" the moment I see it. Some of my photography included as well.
Leaflet.pub
I began using Leaflet for "digital gardening" at the end of 2025. You can use Leaflet for a variety of things, including creating a newsletter, but I became interested in it as a way to plaster thoughts into random notes/docs and find interesting ways to link them together over time.
seasons
My seasons card sort of acts as collection of ways you can engage with seasons in different/creative ways.
web things
I started a leaflet on my web history and that's also where I'll chatter on about different web/nostalgia topics.
