In the physical world, a home is a place to return to. A place to be from. Home is not just where the heart is but above all where the heart is safe. Home has sturdy walls that keep the world out. Home is a sanctuary. Home has a front door that is generally kept locked. In a bricks-and-mortar home, admittance is a privilege, not a right.

A virtual home is different. This is my virtual home and it is open to all. It is, especially, open to you. Come on in! This is a home where visitors are always welcome to hang their hat, leave a comment, join the conversation. I’ll do my best to be a gracious host.

I’ve got another online home at 76design, where I work. There you’ll find a homepage whose motto is borrowed from the Spanish proverb: Mi Casa Su Casa. At 76design we say: My Homepage is Your Homepage! The 76design homepage showcases a custom interactive corkboard called Bored of Cork, born of the coding brilliance of my 76design workmates and pals Brett Tackaberry and Steve Palmer. It’s really worth a peek. And when you’re there, don’t forget to post a note! We’re always home!
