# start here… ![[chad.jpg]] _drawing of me by [lexi10](https://www.instagram.com/_lexi10)_ ## notes about the site and purpose and other stuff This project is inspired by ideas of [[! mind garden|mind gardens]]. This is an ongoing messy work in progress. It is my attempt at organizing and connecting all the different ideas that interest me. It is my public way of trying to makes sense of things. It is my attempt at [[learning in public]]. It is going to be spotty, inconsistent, and most definitely incomplete. That's OK. The fun is in exploring these ideas and figuring out where there are holes and gaps to try filling. I'm using [Obsidian Publish](https://obsidian.md/publish) to organize my thoughts and then make them public on my website. I'm slowly migrating old content and updating formatting, as well as adding new content. I have a ton of interesting content that I've collected from the internet over the years. Lots of good ideas to explore and connect. It is just going to take some time. ### how this works > [!right-card] > ![[mindmap.svg]] This site is a collection of interconnected notes, somewhat similar to an old-fashioned [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki). It is non-linear and there is no strict hierarchy to be followed. Ideas crash and bump into each other through internal hyperlinks. New content is added wherever it is added and there is no documentation for when it was added. The reader can jump in anywhere that seems interesting and find their own path. There are many areas that feel filled in, while others have notes on content I would like to add eventually. Some paths lead on to nowhere, but that's OK. Eventually I will be adding in more content. Probably. The list on the left side is the closest thing to an organized flow. It is based on folders for the big themes. There are plenty of internal links within the pages themselves (listed alphabetically). At the bottom of each page is a list of notes that link to that particular page (listed alphabetically). In this way, you can move forward and backward (or even sideways) through the content. Please enjoy wandering through my garden. If something interests you, please stop and spend some time savoring the ideas. If you have something to add, please send me a note.
