About

CounterIt.ch is a minimalist blog created to counter the limitations and constrainsts of mainstream social media and other "itches."

Some of CounterIt.ch’s categories and sub-categories (tags) include these: gardening, outdoors, cycling, books, music, business, finance, philosophy, politics, technology, and digressions.

Although I’m primarily based in Northeast Ohio, the blog’s domain is based in Switzerland (hence the “.ch”). Lastly, you may read my one-page bio-snapshot here.
