This page is my foray into web3, and blogging in general. My goal here is to post my prose and poetic works on a regular basis so they don't just collect dust in a myriad of journals and become lost to time.

I've come to believe that the most valuable thing for posterity is the recording of ideas. I love the way I can be transported to another time by another's words; the telepathy of writing/reading is a magic that has enthralled me since childhood. With the vast arsenal of archival tools we have here in the 21st century, I want to leave behind a treasure trove for a future generation by recording the life I live today.

I think that's all I've got for an intro...

Hope to see ya soon, Mark
