Welcome to My Digital Garden

Hey, my name is Alex. Welcome to my digital garden. I am passionate about learning and sharing knowledge. I enjoy reading, writing, taking photographs, playing the guitar, playing chess, watching films, travelling, studying, and discovering new things.

Purpose

This is a personal website organised around the metaphor of a dacha — a digital garden where ideas grow at their own pace.

Content is organised by growth stage rather than publication date:

• Seedling — early fragments and half-formed thoughts, kept warm until ready
• Budding — ideas being actively worked on and tended
• Evergreen — mature, well-developed writing

The home feed shows everything in one place, filterable by tags, zone, and stage. The Workshop houses tools I've built.

Why dacha?

The metaphor maps well to how content actually works. A dacha has different spaces for different purposes — a veranda for reading, a garden for active work, a greenhouse for fragile seedlings, a cellar for archives. The zones exist as categories, and content moves between stages as it grows.
