What is your site about? I've seen it four times this week, but I haven't really figured out why it's popular.



I think it's fair to call it a personal site and a public self-model, though I cannot say it merits popularity. Unfortunately, I don't have a short and clean answer for what it is about (though I spend significant energy trying to answer that question). It's a place to think, a conduit to communicate with myself and others, and it's where I do philosophy. Each member of my immediate family writes in a wiki every day. We autonomously tell the stories of our lives with these devices. Some kinds of relationships and conversations require 10,000 hours, and we aim to make art of our lives together. It is my honor to speak with others through my wiki.


That makes sense, thank you.


Perhaps it's about frustration with boring convention, and what that looks like when you render it into a website design?


Very possibly, though in this case the lack of convention doesn't help me understand what the website is about.
