+### Explorative Navigation
+
+
+ - Navigating through a typical website is an endless amount of clicking and new tab opening with everything seen before gone or no longer visible.
+
+
+
+ With this site I'm trying to lower the barrier to putting ideas out into public and experimenting with way to create visual cues for the reader as to what is beyond the current page.
+
+ Each different type of link I have styled differently as you can see above.

+title: Digital Garden
+date: 2020-07-06
+---
+
+
+ A **digital Garden** is a living record of a person's thought process. Much like a real garden it's intended to be *messy*, alive. Similar to the idea of "working with the garage door up".

+
+
+ One of the most challenging parts of grief is the [[loneliness]]. Grieving takes a *long* time. There's no way to know what that will look like for you until you find out.
+
+ I lost my grandmother in the before times of 2020; before the world stopped. In many ways 2020 being like it was made dealing with my grief a little easier.
+
+ People are nice and gentle around you at first but that fades long before the grief is gone. That's not meant as a slight against others they're just not going through it. Time moves faster for them in a way that it can't for you.
+
+ But in 2020 that was all different; we were *all* grieving. Grieving loved ones, grieving a loss of normalcy, grieving a loss of our own sense of possibility. We all went (are going through) that *together*. I didn't feel the need to hide my grief because there was plenty to go around. I didn't feel the need to shield my mercurial feelings because the last thing I wanted was to be *more* isolated.

+## What is a **NOW** page?
+
+The **NOW** page is an interesting addition to a #[[Digital Garden]] which differs from an **ABOUT** page in a few key ways
+
+1. **ABOUT** pages are typically polished narratives describing a person (trends in years to decades)
+
+2. **NOW** pages are ephemeral and constantly changing places describing the person you are in the short term (weeks to months)
+
+3. **NOW** pages contain less professional and more personal interests than **ABOUT** pages

+### Fall 2023
+
+
+- Trying to limit code projects and of course ended up creating this digital garden lol

+- Spending lots of time scootering (scooting? what's the most fun term in this scenario?) around [[NYC]] and exploring some of the more difficult to get to spots. This is the first cold weather I've experienced since January??
+
+- Feeling a general mentality shift that I haven't been able to define yet but is full of restlessness. I thought it was boredom at first, maybe distraction, but I think more likely it was the changing of my (internal) season
+
+
+### Summer 2023
+
+
+- Focused in on work and code projects.
+
+- Laid low and experimented with different ways of bringing natural textures into my apartment design through art. It's weird to have a second summer in a single year .
+
+
+### Sprint 2023
+
+
+- Fucked off to [[New Zealand Trip|New Zealand]] for ~2 months work & travel. I didn't realize it at the time but it was very much a reaction to the terrible work project™ of 2022

-**Lorem Ipsum** is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard #test text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

+ Failures big and small. Professional and personal :)
+
+ > the first step to surviving [[failure]] is to stop seeing it as a dead end and start seeing it as scaffolding
+
+ > *If you want to do something do it wrong first*
+
+I read today about the idea of the [[failure résumé]], something I instantly resonated with. I've been fascinated by #failure for years. I've often found that people present a tidy narrative of their accomplishments to the world. In general people are __really bad__ at talking about their own failures without putting a spin on it. Social media exacerbates this, showing only the highlights of a person's life.
+
+What I find much more interesting is all of the things that they tried that either didn't work for them or didn't work out. ie what did they do that failed?[^1][^2]
+
+
+So what could I put on my [[failure résumé]]?
+
+I remember talking to [[Person/Pelin Akman]] about improv and how I didn't fully realize it at the time but I was actually teaching myself how to fail
+
+At this point I've failed at more things than most people have started. It's a part of being [curious]([[curiosity]])!
+
+# Résumé
+
+???
+2023
+was unable to finish my first real coding commission for [[App/Obsidian.md]]
+<<<
+this is in part due to extenuating circumstances (ie my grandmother passed away suddenly) but also due to not understanding my own limitations? it also just wasn't very fun to work with. I'd been off more than I could chew and don't really love arbitrary deadlines. oh and work got insane randomly at the same time. truly a bad couple weeks.
I took the commission for the money. Not because I actually wanted or enjoyed the thing which meant I had little to no stake in the outcome
+!!!
+
+???
+2022
+Missed or didn't understand the door width designations for glass doors at #work . The sub had gone rogue and changed all the doors putting nearly every single glass door on the project out of ADA compliance.
+!!!
+
+???
+2021
+Was rejected for a position at [[Roam Research]]
+<<<
+Ended up being for the best as I ended up freelancing part time there which is 100% better all around.
+!!!
+
+???
+2019
+Bombed while doing #improv a **lot**. Easily over 100 times
+!!!
+
+???
+2011
+Didn't get into my college jazz band at a school definitely not known for music. Dissolution, some boring medical stuff, and lack of easy practice spots evolved into me never playing again
+<<<
+I think the social aspect of the music was the largest motivator and when that went away I was less inclined to play
+!!!
+
+[^1]: This is tangentially related to framing something as an experiment
+[^2]: There's an interesting podcast called Podcast/How to Fail semi-related to this (though it ends up being kind of tidy-narrative based).
