About

Hello, I’m Khürt Williams. I’m an information security professional, former web developer¹, avid photographer, and technology geek. I’m also a craft ale and coffee fanatic. This weblog is where I share my incoherent and random thoughts and rants about technology and photography geekery, coffee, craft ale, diabetes, and life.

This weblog, Island in the Net, has been in existing for a while. If we count a few false starts with Google’s Blogger service, then I would say I started blogging circa 2003. But my journey as a consistent blogger started with the purchase of my first domain blog in 2005. I guess I have been part of the IndieWeb for a long time but I re-discovered the Indieweb in late 2017, and have spent the time since remaking this site to make use of modern Indieweb technologies.

I use this website as my primary hub for online presence and communication. I follow the principles of the IndieWeb movement by publishing on my own site and owning all of my own data.
