Hi there, I’m Kayt Hoch. I live in Seattle, Washington, and here are a few notes about my weblog - The Pedestrian Crossing.

First off, I find my late start joining the web community a bit embarrassing, even considering I’m not part of the media-player-in-one-ear / wireless-headset-in-the-other generation. And it’s clearly taken me an unconscionably long time to discover that: (a)-the open sociopolitical discourse I thought had vanished from the US has simply moved to the internet, and (b)-some of the best writing and thinking around appear in the pages of blogs (some of them anyway). But so it goes, I’m happy to be here now.

I find it fascinating that digital technology and the internet are reshaping what and how we think, what is deemed to have value, who has a voice, and how those voices get heard. The Pedestrian Crossing gives me a platform from which I can explore a broad range of topics in the context of these observations. I offer it to you as a comfortable place to think and catch your breath—a place where it’s o.k. to still be trying to catch up with all of this. I can’t be the only one.

My objective is simply to offer understandable and interesting additions to the larger conversation. Successful or not, I’m sure you’ll let me know.

Here you can find out a bit more about me and/or view my artworkand poems. These links take you to pages on Gyroscope Rebel Arts – my writing, art, and collaboration site at KaytHoch.com.
