Journal

Notes from the rabbit hole.

Writing, mythology, filmmaking, the road west, and the parts of building something that do not fit into a press release.

Personal Journal

Writing from wherever the road happens to be.

This space is for the things that belong to ChristopherHannon.com: books, the road west, filmmaking, research, family-scale observations and whatever refuses to fit neatly inside the Echoes production site.

The road journal begins with the 2026 westbound launch. I will only list entries here when there is something worth saying.

Hearth Presence

A quiet way to share the world with other visitors, only if you choose to join.

Not joined. Presence requires JavaScript and a configured service.

Joining sends only your chosen area and a temporary session token to Hearth Presence. No name, reading history, precise position, or saved visitor profile. Small groups stay private: an area appears only when at least three sessions have joined. No exact visitor counts are shown.

Join also loads Cloudflare Turnstile to check for automated requests. Presence ends when you leave, hide this tab, navigate away, or use Clean View. If a request is lost, it expires within 90 seconds. Returning never rejoins automatically.

This shows participating sessions, not everyone visiting either website. It is not a promise that three different people are present.
