The whole idea of a “home page” is rooted in an Internet that was more open and free-wheeling than it is today. While the growth and ubiquity of the web was supposed to herald an age of boundless human knowledge, it also invited misrepresented facts, scams, manipulation, and a lamentable detachment from reality.
That Internet of 1996 is long gone, and it’s time to finally lay my home page to rest. For something which few people ever look at, it’s simply impractical to keep up to date.
I have more meaningful things to do with my life today. In short, I have nothing else worthwhile to say here, and I’m good with that.
My PGP key will remain available, along with a handful of private docs, since this web site is still an easy way to provide public access. But as of today, all other content has been decommissioned, and is no longer available.
Please, go out there and do something useful with your life.
Get off of “social media”, which is really just a drug addiction.
Find people to share things with, and always be on the lookout for new friends — the kind who won’t post about it online.
