I want to start a new form of "hitchhiking" inspired by a visit to my friend Robbie and some personal reflection. This isn't about literal travel, but rather a creative, mental, and social journey. It's about expressing myself aloud, recording and sharing these moments with others in a gentle, private or semi-public way.
I believe many others are craving this type of expression too. I imagine providing tools to make it easy and rewarding — building a network where our thoughts and meditations subtly interact, enriching one another.
I describe three forms of this idea: - Hitchhiking in My Armchair - Hitchhiking in My Shed, and - Hitchhiking While Walking
### The Broader Vision All three forms — armchair, shed, walking — are ways of experiencing and documenting thought in a relaxed, creative, reflective manner. It's about the joy and meaning in thinking aloud, connecting to others subtly, and letting simple moments become shared imaginative journeys.
Whether you walk a few steps or miles, or never leave your room, you're still "hitchhiking" — through dialogue, contemplation, and connection in a federated, intersubjective space.
