I don't know were this will go yet, the reasons for the design of my
website are varied and complex. First and foremost being our
anthropomorphic concepts of order. To put it another way, how come
humanity thinks it invented order? Rather arrogant if you ask me. Life
has been on this planet for around 5 billion years, modern human beings
for around 100 thousand years, modern industrial society for around 300
years. Our concepts of order received a large dent with Darwins
evidence as to to the disconcerting notion that we were actually
animals. Very clever animals maybe - but still animals. Victorian England fired by the might of the industrial revolution decided in its pompos grandiosity that it would tidy up the planet. Nature was seen to be disordered and must be tidied up into nice gardens and vistas of Capability Brown. If you go in a jungle or a forest the nature of observed order appears very different from the industrialised human concepts of order. Nature does not show any conformity of right angles, circles, or of size. I did not want to do this in terms of my main webpage but wanted to retain a non-linear feel to it by, not grouping the links I make by category, but chronologically. To express the non-linear graphically would have got in the way of what my page portrays. But the layout is, I tend not to link from my daily haunts. The moving links is where I represent in a chronological fashion my journeys on the hyways and byways of the internet and hopefully come across items of interest to others that visit this website. Ok my website is a glorified bookmark page -but it works for me. I will probably be adding to this essay as time goes on. So come back and visit sometime.
