Embrace imperfection

imperfection - I accidentally jogged the ISO dial forcing the camera to compensate by slowing down the exposure. Imperfection at its best.

Go and read Michelle’s piece on Leaving the imperfections in.. Embracing imperfection, or at least not letting the fear of imperfection hold me back has been a struggle. Whether it is language learning, photography, or a technical demo at work, the desire for things to be perfect has always been present. It has taken a conscious effort to try and embrace the imperfections.

On Blogging

I started blogging back when I was a teenager. I’ve long since forgotten what prompted me to start. Before blogging were the Geocities sites. Before that an interconnected web of html pages filled with tricks to break out of the hosting restrictions of free hosts. Before the days of Facebook or Twitter, it was exciting to be online.

Pages were permanently “under construction”, friends competed to come up with the most elaborate visitor counters, guestbooks became a thing. The web was a place full of curiosity and discovery. As backgrounds became increasingly psychedelic, midi tracks increasingly complex, the aim was to have fun.

How long is a blog post?

This post by Winnie Lim caught my attention.

“telling myself repeatedly that a blog post doesn’t have to be lengthy”

I have a folder of unfinished blog posts that get purged every once in a while. Except, they aren’t blog posts. They aren’t long enough. They aren’t finished. To quote Alex;

“I don’t know where this barrier or expectation comes from."

I tried creating /notes but sometimes feel these need to be longer to be worth publishing.
