About this site
This is a personal site. It collects what I’m writing, photographing, reading, and shipping, with as little ceremony as possible. Long posts live under writing; short ones under stream; photos with their EXIF intact under photos; everything I’m building under projects.
If you want a periodic, slower digest of things worth your attention, subscribe to Of Note. If you want every update, the RSS firehose is in the footer.
