About
Welcome to joshuaw.xyz, my home at the end of the internet.
My name is Joshua Whiting. I am a dad, a husband, a media/technology specialist (librarianish person) in the educational technology department of a school district, a sometimes writer, and maybe some other things. My pronouns are he or they.
I want to learn, write, make, and curate more things, and I want a place of my own to share those things, so I’ve created this site. This is my main venue for creative activity and publication on the internet.
This site is forever a work in progress and is haunted by the ghosts of my past websites and social media channels, which I hope to someday bring online again.
This site is currently built and hosted with Hugo, Obsidian, Github, and Netlify. I use my own ad hoc WP51 theme, W3schools documentation, and a bunch of hacks I’ve picked up from blog posts and forum answers that I should do a better job of crediting. Also I spend a fair amount of time just fiddling around with it.
This site is primarily created and maintained in Millcreek, Utah, USA, near Big Cottonwood Creek / Pi’a-bai-gwi-ci / We-en-de-quint in traditional homelands of the Goshute, Paiute, Shoshone, and Ute peoples.
