About this website:
I was an adult when the internet took shape, but always maintained a digital presence. In the early 2000’s I started to dabble in web construction/design. I originally used Blogger to start my online journaling, but switched to Wordpress a few years years in. I continued to develop my basic coding skills over the years, but advancements in web tools changed the game. Eventually, I switched all my sites over to Squarespace.

When I started the blog, I called it Beit Carr, as beit is the Hebrew word for "house." Since the pronunciation constantly confused people, I started using House of Carr as the moniker for my online identity. Before you ask, this was years before the Netflix series House of Cards.

This website is older than my adult child. Since I moved this blog from multiple platforms over there years, there are some broken image and hyperlinks. And because I’ve aged and/or matured, some of the content is drivel. But I keep it up here as a lesson to me and all of us: for better or worse, we change over time. Doing my best to change for the better.
