I hate being told what to do.

That's about the long and the short of it. But if you want to know more...

I grew up with the internet. I'm of the generation that saw the internet come into existence, when it was free, open and finding out what it could become. There was so much hope.

Unfortunately what it has become is an algorithmic slopshop. I fucking hate it.

During my formative years I chatted to people from all over the world, I found them through mutual interests, friends of friends of friends, and just spending time exploring. IRC, forums, and MSN messenger were our tools; building connections was our mission.

The internet was so inspiring to me I studied it at college and university and it eventually became a prosperous career. I still work with the internet daily.

Unfortunately, socially the internet has become a cesspit. Particularly in recent years. It's the cyberpunk dystopia of corporations telling us what to think, billionaires telling us what to feel, and politicians disregarding everyone.

This website is meant to be a giant fuck you to web 2.0, social media, algorithms and anyone or anything that tells me what to think or feel.

I want to get back the feeling of the early internet, with some amount of modernity thrown in.

This is my space. Anyone is welcome to hang out if you bring good vibes.
