Curious by default.
shashmit.
A work in progress.
Mostly making things. Always looking around.
I take the
long way around.
Tech, films, and whatever catches my eye along the way. I like seeing where a little curiosity can lead.
Sometimes, it's a color.
A cart on the corner, roses stacked so deep they stop looking like flowers and start looking like paint. I bought none. I stood there a while.
Sometimes, a place to stay a little longer.
A lantern, a red sign, a table by the window. The kind of place where the second coffee is a decision you make without noticing.
Even in the smallest things.
A panel about serious things, and the speaker's socks doing all the talking. Someone chose those that morning. I like that they did.
And sometimes, just standing still.
A summit, miles of sky, nowhere I needed to be. The best detours are the ones where you stop walking for a minute.
There's a lot to notice.
Things I make
Curiosity
turns into
something.
The thing that came out of all those tabs.
Hover for a look inside, or open it up.
Most evenings look the same. Six screens. Forty-something tabs. One half-finished idea, sitting in the tab I can't find.
It starts with poking at something I don't understand yet. I break it. I fix it. I break it a little differently, just to see what happens. Somewhere between the third coffee and the tab called why is this broken, it stops being a question and starts being a thing.
Then it works. on my machine , at least. So I put it out there, watch what people do with it, and go looking for the next thing worth breaking.
Poke at it. Find out. Repeat.
And some things
stay with me.
A quiet reflection. Something I learned. Thoughts that needed somewhere to go.
