The Blog

Well, okay, "blog" might be a bit of a misnomer. I've never intended to keep a running weblog of spontaneous thoughts, location updates, and brunch photos.

Like many blogs, I use this as a self-publishing platform. At various times I've also used Medium, and way back in the day used Blogger a few times.

For now, this is a place to post relatively long-form thinking in progress. I hope - if anyone's reading this - this is an invitation to join in thinking together, and maybe doing together. Why not get in touch with me on the Twitter, @Scott_Matter Get in touch on the Fediverse.

Here's the list, take your pick!
