AESTHETIC IMAGES

Jul 2020

These are the four most aesthetically pleasing pictures I’ve taken*

* according to Apple Photos and Apple Photos’ AI
* and maybe slightly curated by me - I disallowed the meme image of a bird standing on the back of an eagle while the eagle is in flight. You’ve probably seen it.

TOWARD DATA LIBERATION

Jun 2020

The main reason I created this site, rather than just update my old portfolio is to own my own data.

I’ve been working “on” the Internet for some time - since the mid 90’s while attending engineering college at University. While I have some nostalgia for all sorts of the computing space from that time (terminals are neat!) what I miss the most is the total lack of centralized authority firstly, followed by the anything-is-possible-without-corporations a close second.

NEW SITE

May 2020

Oh, welcome to my new site. It’s going to be a lot of things - a portfolio of my professional work, an eventual repository of my personal writing and projects, and, because I’m trying desparately to relive the 90’s, a blog.

Over the next couple of weeks and months and years, I’ll be bringing all of my work (that’s been scattered around the Internet on various platforms) into this site. This is a departure for me, and comes as a result of my desire to liberate myself from [platforms that make money from selling my data][1]. If anyone is going to make money from selling me, it should be me.

NOTES ON A PANDEMIC

Apr 2020

finding a time in the quiet
a merciless time for thought

as the deer mull around the yard and concern themselves with us
but are not concerned by our concerns
death for them comes more quickly than for us
they’re used to it in a way we abstract
that death we are forced now to contemplate
in our state-enforced solitude

i sit outside and watch the turkeys
discordant gobbles in bird drunkspeak
sloppy mouthed ululation
