A Short Prologue
Exploring the world through words and pictures consumes a fair bit of my free time as a writer and a professional curious person.
Since 2011, I've used Twitter to share interesting material — audios, visuals, texts. My current interactions on that platform qualify as observational, but I still want a digital archive of the stuff that sparks my imagination or causes me to question or expands my knowledge of some small piece of this planet.
Hence, this. Thank you for spending some of your time with me.

THE DETAILS
Operating principles, courtesy of Audie Cornish: “It’s like fireworks, you know? There’s a lot of planning that goes into fireworks. Even though what you see in the end looks kind of beautiful and chaotic and surprising.”
What you should expect: a breezy 300 words embedded with links to an eclectic blend of content. Some new in the previous month. Some years or decades older. Nothing from the future. For now.
Recurring items: a picture to begin and a poem to conclude.
