About

CounterIt.ch is a minimalist personal blog created by a Northeast Ohio-based Gen X-er to counter the limitations and shortcomings of mainstream social media and other "itches."

Some of CounterIt.ch’s day-in-the-life categories and sub-categories (tags) include these: gardening, outdoors, motorcycling, exercising, books, music, business, philosophy, politics, technology, and digressions.

Although Joe, the Gen X-er, is primarily based in NE Ohio, the blog’s domain is based in beautiful Switzerland (hence the “.ch”).
