Scatter Splatter
Hi, I am Carl. Welcome to my personal website. It has been my little place on the web for over half of my life now. It has gone through changes, and the domain name has changed, but the old stuff is still intact for the most part. I am actually on my third domain now. A better term would be that it has evolved over time. The design has gone through changes. I am neither a designer, nor do I have any desire to be one. I just do what I personally like. I have created a hodgepodge of my ideas.
It is mostly about things I enjoy. A lot of the posts have to do with my fitness journey. There are also plenty of posts related to my personal thoughts and ideas about various things. There are no ads. Besides the web server logs, there is also no tracking of any kind. It is basically what the Small Web is.
