From the hills of Dusk's End to the small alleys of Main Street,
you feel drawn to the lights of this vibrant metropolis in an
uncharted internet territory. The sign reads "Nightfall"
Get out of my house!
Nah, just kidding. I'm glad you're here. Instead of getting this site from a CDN somewhere near you, you're now downloading each of these files from a server right here in my home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've been working for several months now to minimize my personal data footprint on the corporate-controlled walled gardens of the internet, and I've made quite a bit of progress.
This page represents a destination for links that do not yet exist! When I think of projects or formulate material for this site, I often find myself thinking of multiple posts at the same time, intertwined with each other. As a result, I place this "future link" where I would link to a future post that hasn't been published yet, and then I can later find the spots where I need to update links using a simple grep command.
Last month Katherine called out the tension inherent in a “personal” website which is that it is both public and personal, and one’s public (or professional) persona is often different from that of their personal life. Robin Rendle riffed on the concept and said that it’s totally fine for personal websites to be messy or imperfect or weird (i.e., not necessarily how you’d want to present a “professional” front) and declared, in a pretty great and punchy/pithy statement, “You’re a poem and not software”. Manu also picked up the thread and brought up a good point which is that people are complex and are allowed to have multiple selves that they present in different ways (and one great thing about your website is that it’s yours and you can choose which self or selves to present, and how).
Hello there! I'm Anne-Laure Le Cunff, founder of Ness Labs and a PhD researcher at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, where I study how different brains learn differently.
I created this public notebook / digital garden because I believe the only way to learn in public is to build in public.
This is a public notebook where I share some of my thoughts on networked thinking, creativity, metacognition, and collective intelligence. It uses bi-directional links, so you can see which pages refer to the one you are currently reading.
