WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?
When I started planning therealandrewmaynard.com (now hiddenworld.andrewmaynard.net)I wanted to make this a website that was full of discovery, serendipity, whimsy, and delight, and not one of cold hearted SEO-driven efficiency.
I also wanted it to be the antithesis of the self-promotional “look at me” glitzy media-rich, all singing and dancing sites that we’re all allegedly supposed to be using to tell everyone how wonderful we are on the web — if you hadn’t worked it out yet, the URL is intentionally ironic.
As a result, this is a website that flouts all the rules of good self-promotion. Rather, it’s a website that’s intended to be to browsed and explored, to surprise, to be enjoyed, and to be serendipitously delighted by.
Of course, if you’re in a hurry, there are ways to get to where you’re going faster. But in the meantime, you can always start with the organizationally-unreliable and informationally whimsical “LIST”
Enjoy!
