It’s 2024 and I’m Laurence Warner: I’m a Brit enjoying seeing out my twenties writing.
I write the songs for my Alternative Rap records & collaborative productions with A Pandit - focussing on high-concept lyrics & wordplay.
I also write some code for the modern websites I design and teach youngsters to from time-to-time.
I like to comment on both - The Arts, and Tech - industries from my perspective as an indie creator and share useful #SavvyIndie learnings.
So I write this personal blog about those two areas plus the occasional bit of daily Life.
So if you’re interested in what life is like as a Rapper + a Scholar:
@warner on Micro.blog or @[email protected] on Mastodon
some posts make it to Bluesky @Wa.rner.me
Comments responded Friday (except of course FirstWeek FlipPhone)
RSS feed (only arts | tech) eg in NetNewsWire
or weekend email of new posts:
Wondering if it’s worth it? Sample a random article, or search the blog:
All freely offered, if you wanna say thanks:
To email me humans, take this site’s domain name replacing the a. with @
This setup video guide is still mostly up-to-date, and @warner me once you’re in for more personal advice on getting going.
Pick a M.b username like @warner and post “Hello World” to get started, and pay for big boy tings like web-design on a custom domain like this wa.rner.me later.
If you want convincing it’s worthwhile:
🎧 30m podcast with Indie Author Jas about why more creatives should join
📺 my 20m keynote at the inaugural Micro.Camp about the creative possibilities once you do
Import posts to M.b - like I did for my Medium & WordPress blogs (all posts before my June ‘20 “Hello World")
