About

My name is Gardiner Bryant. I'm an educator, digital literacy advocate, film maker, programmer, and writer. I work hard creating things I believe in and that align with my personal values.

My values are simple: federated, free, and open source. I believe in privacy, justice, community, and integrity.

What you'll find here are my personal musings on any and all things that catch my interest. I will not shy away from controversial topics and you can rest assured that I will always share my honest opinion.

If you find what I'm doing here useful, consider becoming a member. It helps me continue my mission to spread the word and help make the world a better place.

And you can also follow me on the Fediverse: Mastodon, Peertube, and Pixelfed


I run my media production company Heavy Element based in Maine in the US. We're a small, independent outfit. We contract with local businesses and global enterprises alike to tell the important and impactful stories that can move mountains.

I leverage my company's reach to evangelize Linux and FOSS philosophy. If you believe in the work I'm doing, you can make a pledge.
