Simplifying the web

by Jeb Life

This site has wandered around a bit, been reincarnated a few times. Much of that results from simply feeling my way around, and never really having any clear focus for HTM other than as an outlet for my thoughts. And it served that purpose well for a bit. But as the history of How To [...]

A question of value

by Jeb Life

Should our values be universal? I’m not talking complete homogenization here, I’m just curious if it’s important that we, as a people or a country or a community, value the same sorts of things.

It’s about trust

by Jeb Life

At least it is for me, and I suspect the same is true for you, too. It’s just so easy to be a consumer these days. So many messages ready and willing to talk, to tell us what to think and how to act. And twice as many stores, waiting, doors open, stuff at the [...]
