What You Will Find Here:

Cob's Web is a repository of things I would like to share with the world from one of my myriad hyperfocuses, something special to me, or whatever's just on my mind.

I have grown jaded with social media in the past few years, and this civilization's growing dependency on it has only heightened my frustration with the entire institution. It has felt like everything on my mind that I put out into the world is dissected, recycled, and ultimately dealt out via algorithm to a feed for consumers.

Despite that, I seem to be under some kind of compulsion to share of myself with strangers, but have decided to do so on my own terms as much as possible. And so I hope that whoever stops by might find something worth thinking about for a moment or two.

Who I Am:

DarthKobold is the name used by Cob, an underpaid IT "professional", who moonlights as a nerd-king, freelance priest, and insufferable raconteur. They originally hail from a little tourist town by the sea in a time long since past.

They have dabbled in a number of interests over the years including political science, aviation, medieval warfare, video-game design, tabletop games, electronic music, classical literature, and cooking the odd extra-greasy dish. If it's nerdy, they've tried it.

These days Cob spends their time futilely railing against entropy and living a flawed life of leisure in Columbus, Ohio.

Made With Help From:

It had been a very long time since I'd made anything web-based and so I am grateful for the abundance of resources out there that have made it easy to relearn.

This site was originally built with Marina Kittaka's Zonelets, alongside Sadgrl's Layout Builder, with 3Legged's Tagging System. I have also integrated Ayano's Comment Widget. The site is currently hosted by Neocities.
