Hello world

Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I’m glad you’re here. Please feel free to have a look around.

Creating this site was one of my sabbatical goals and something I’ve wanted and needed to do for a long while. I’m grateful for some time to invest in it.

This page of Noodlings is what I think of as a kidn of digital garden. I was introduced to this idea after attending a keynote by Vicky Boykis at RStudio Global. Her talk was wonderfully thoughtful, filled with reflections on her own experience, and practical ideas for getting started. After sharing my page on Twitter, I even more about the history and ethos of digital gardening.

To this end, I don’t expect this page to be filled with polished prose or finished pieces. Like a garden, I expect it to be more organic. It will hopefully have little pots of ideas and beginnings as well as bins for things I learn, do, and care about. Since I have broad interests, I suspect it won’t be as focused as a conventional blog. That’s okay with me. I’ll do what I can to keep things organized into categories (like garden beds). Let’s try to keep expectations, yours and mine, low. 😉

Finally, please know that the thoughts I share are my own.
