Getting started

Yet another platform? Why now?

The truth is, I need to write more. It's been a thick desire (and personal-professional commitment) for some time, but I've not yet found the discipline to overcome the many distractions assailing my time and attention.

As I've spent more time on Farcaster, I find myself stumbling on ideas in that short-form context, but only briefly developing them in Notes. It only makes sense to follow the thread among the Farcaster-native community in which I'm embedded. My recently-planted Substack was a short-lived attempt to get away from Medium and onto a space where I was already following several outstanding writers. And yet, following writers is not writing for followers.

I've called this place "Occasional Observations" to take some weight off of myself. Minimal expectations on frequency, length, depth, quality, or value. Something is better than nothing; shipping better than perfecting; systems are better than goals. The process and objective is production.

Finally, if nothing else, I'll want meaningful amounts of material to train the bots for my departure from this earth.
