You’re reading a blog about connections

Digital Seams is a fortnightly-ish blog that pieces together how software connects to itself and society. The most interesting and valuable parts often lurk in the interactions between systems.

Here, I write about the interfaces and design choices that shape our lives - explaining oddities through historical rabbit-holes and other investigations. I hope you’re curious, because the fun stuff lives in the seams.

I'm Bobbie. In the past decade, I've been immersed in technology as a student, software developer, product manager, and of course, a user.

My experience so far has convinced me that the digital seams in our world don't get the attention they should. That's why I started writing here.
