Drawing Board
This is really where the ethos of the digital garden challenges the traditional ideas of a website or blog. Here is where I'm capturing some of my early-stage ideas, concept sketches and working fragments. Some may be refined further into a full essay or framework. Others might just gradually fade into the archives. Putting these still forming (or never fully-formed) sketches and concepts out here for others to see is really about showing my thinking and inviting feedback and collaboration.
