I have migrated this blog to imprtntephemera.wordpress.com. Please go there for important new content. (When I started out with the one you’re looking at, I wasn’t thinking correctly about aligning the “title” of the blog with its url. Not sure why I didn’t see that need at the time. Anyway, future posts will likely just be there, instead of trying to put them on both. Sorry for the confusion.)

Imprtnt Ephemera is a blog kept by Keith Gardner for the purpose of interacting with a small number of people on a global field. I have a business, Bitsworld (a name I purloined from an incomprehensible slogan on a Japanese pencil box), which offers IT and management consulting and business services. I’m also an amateur composer and musician.

Here I’ll focus on those political and philosophical matters that I think exist on both a personal and a global plane; ideas and experiences that are at once deep, heart-felt, and private; and yet universal, and with impact outside of ourselves.

For those who might wonder why “imprtnt” rather than “important,” well, I guess if it were all that important, I’d have put in all the vowels. It’s my own tongue in cheek way of saying, “take it with a grain of salt.”
