Hi, I’m Jon and this is my website.
It’s intended audience is me.
I think that writing things down can help solidify and export thoughts from your brain and stop them banging around in your head. I intend to post-and-ghost1. My writing will contradict itself and the beliefs will clash, but I think that’s ok. I’d rather put stuff down in ink and be wrong, then never write.
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not.

I have a couple of rules for myself on the internet:
- Only interact positively, no good comes from public negativity.
- Everyone wants to addict you to their feed, avoid scrolling.
Better to put stuff out, interact mindfully and get on with life. ↩

Because this is a website for me, I’ve decided to add copious amounts of footnotes. In theory so I can be as tangential as I like, but mostly to emulate my favourite author: Terry Pratchett ↩
