[Literally](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole#Literally) all of my writing is hyperbolic and over the top. (Less hyperbolically: the title gives me an excuse for the occasional rant.) 2. [[Hyperbolic Geometry]] gets bigger as you get into it. There's plenty of space just a few steps away... and you may find yourself lost in the vastness. This seems appropriate for a large collection of interlinked notes and ideas... > **cloud (n)** > 1. an amorphous and ever-changing construct with vague boundaries > 2. hosted on servers in a datacentre, or related to Software-as-a-Service concepts These both seem to aptly describe this site.
