i’ve gotten tired of being told what i can and can’t do with computers and, to a greater extent, life.

the promise of computing was that it would set you free from the tyranny of pointless labor. it has, instead, increased our labor a thousand fold but i’ll be elaborating on that in another post.

one’s life isn’t simply a sum of experiences but also a sum of what how those experiences were directed and, anymore, those experiences are directed in the manner that directly manipulates people to be nothing more than one dimensional brands.

for blogging i use hugo it’s speedy, static and command line oriented.

this, however, is a carry over from the past before i pushed myself into the efficient world of emacs and all that and now i find myself working more and more into the world of org which has led me to the world of ox-hugo.

basically, the beauty of this is that you can set up your entire blog in an org file and call it a day. the ease of this is destroyed by the need to tag and add properties to all the things.
