About DIYdeas
the title of this site is meant to represent the concept of bringing the playful, brave, and let’s-get-messy attitude of the maker / hacker-movement to thinking / philosophizing.
i’ve always had an impatience with recipes, reading, and pre-built tools and things. i’m not proud of this impatience - i think it’s so useful and wonderful the way we can build on each other as humans, and i think many good at-first solo tinkerers will still find themselves part of a conversation and a community.
so i want to be clear that i believe in the value of recipes, reading, and pre-built things. but this blog specifically is in the spirit of letting myself lean into my impatience and put my ideas out there even if they are half-baked and not fully tied to the conversations i ought to be aware of if i were doing this ‘properly’.
i’m approaching this with the scrappy mentality that i’m DIYideaing a metaphorical table for my own use at home, and if anyone else gets something from it that’s great.
