# Taurean Bryant Land

## Who?
My name's [[taurean-definition|Taurean Bryant]], I'm a design engineer based in the Bay Area of California. This site is a mess so if you're looking for something a bit more legible, visit [Taurean.Work](https://taurean.work) instead.
## What?
This site is somewhere between a catch-all for content I don't have a good place to post and the last stop for stuff I don't want to forget. These notes are published directly from my Obsidian vault so from time to time, you may see markup intended for plugins. You'll also likely come across broken links. These are backlinks to notes that I did *not* publish[^1].
This site exists primarily as an extension of my private notes. You'll experience it best when you see it less like a curated public museum of content and more like entering my messy lived-in home.
## Where?
idk, I'm just trying to force this question format to work. [Obsidian Publish](https://obsidian.md/publish) I guess?
## Why?
I don't write often, and sometimes when I do it's not quite a blog post or essay. For example, [[Ratings|my approach to rating content]]. I thought it would be fun to just have this web of stuff I publish over time, like finding that old box of mementos you'd forgotten about when you move. Also, it's incredibly easy to manage.
## How?
This site won't have your typical navigation, you'll likely find most pages by me linking directly to them. If you're feeling adventurous, feel free to use the graph view on desktop. By default this will only show you notes directly connected to the one you're viewing but you can also expand it to view all public notes.
