Keeping a frequency

Radio taught me more about publishing than any CMS.

A live desk shares a station clock. Fixed rooms play start to finish. Vaults wait on demand. That is a theory of attention: some things are weather, some things are architecture, some things are a key you pick up later.

Most blogs treat every post as weather that never ends. The new one knocks the last one off the screen and we pretend that is a library.

I do not want a landfill with typography.

So the desk has three distances.

• Pinned. Work that should remain in the room even as the weeks move. Opening statements. The pieces I am still standing in.
• Current. The last handful of published notes, in the light.
• Archive. Everything else, quieter, fully searchable, not ashamed of being old.

If I pin too much, the room is a museum. If I pin nothing, the room is a feed. The discipline is the point.

You can still find the historical stuff. That is what the archive and the search are for. I am not hiding. I am curating the air.
