This is a collection of bits and pieces, collected from around the web, or stumbled over on my daily web wanderings. They are visual bookmarks, snippets, digital ephemera, inspiration and things to check out later. Most of these things are presented without context or explanation. Don’t try to read too much into these things - why they’re here, or what I’m trying to communicate via their presence - because you’ll only get a headache. The presence of anything in these pages only means is that I spend a lot of my life online, and this is some of the digital lint that gets caught in my browser’s bellybutton.
