Independent personal web home

Jonathan White

A quiet place for family, photos, notes, music, work, and the parts of life worth keeping outside the noise.

Now

A quieter home on the web

I am not trying to build a following here. This is simply a place I own, where the important bits can be kept with a little more care.

Current direction

Family first, Wellington now, Springs Junction always somewhere in the background.

The public parts stay modest and simple. The more personal family and friends material is kept private, where it belongs.

What tends to stay

  • Family The centre of gravity, even when life is busy.
  • Work Systems, integration, and making complicated things behave.
  • Curiosity Music, travel, weather, rivers, ideas, and the odd useful thought.

Stories

Notes when there is something worth saying.

Pinned story

A life does not need to perform to be worth recording.

I like useful ideas, quiet places, honest work, family time, and the occasional reminder that the world is stranger and better than it first appears.

01

Life

Short notes, small observations, and the occasional update for people who actually know me.

02

Places

Wellington, the West Coast, road trips around New Zealand, and a few wider-world memories.

03

Ideas

Systems, software, music, complexity, clear thinking, and things I am still working out.

Media

Public photos, kept deliberately small.

Audio shelf

Music is mostly for the joy of trying.

Guitar sketches, rough ideas, and small recordings may appear here when they feel worth sharing.

Video shelf

Little moving memories.

Rain with a cuppa, Welly harbour, rivers, travel, music, and the sort of small clips that make more sense kept close to home.

Vault

Some things are better shared carefully.

Family and friends pages are private. The public site can be open without making every memory public.

Message

Say hello.

A simple message is still the best way to reach me.
