About
Now
As of July 2023, I’m traveling indefinitely, photographing and writing about where I go. You can read these travel essays. I’m also posting more work-in-progress essays and ideas to my notes. I prepare a monthly website digest, which you can subscribe to at the bottom of any page.
Testimonials
It’s very important what others think about you.
Max is my favorite of your friends because he always fills the ice trays.
In a talent show where the bar isn’t too high, you would do all right.
Miscellany
-
I play the tenor sax, clarinet, and piano. “A gentleman is a man who can play the saxophone, but doesn’t” continues to haunt me.
-
I am perpetually learning to boulder (= climb little rocks with expensive shoes that hurt)
-
I’m from Seattle. As mandated by local law, I drink a ton of coffee, love IPAs, and wear beanies all the time.
Friends
I miss the GeoCities days, when personal pages were the rage. Behold, some friends with websites:
-
Alex Miller • digital visual artist; curious and warm; loves trying all the drinks from Japanese vending machines.
-
Ally Gale • developer and lindy hopper; vivacious and thoughtful; exploring abandoned places since before geocaching was cool.
-
Callan Berry • comic artist and designer; hilarious and personable; seems to always know full plots to games and movies before they’re out.
-
Max Cerami • mechanical engineer and artist; creative and empathetic; who is the real Max?
-
Shelby Wilson • frontend developer and artist; brilliant and gentle; Shelby is web 4.0 while you’re still trying to figure out web 1.
-
Steve Geluso • teacher and freelance developer; courageous and down-to-earth; I once witnessed him pull a taco out of his pocket.
Internet people I am a fan of

Bret Victor • interaction and abstraction
-
Hundred Rabbits • physical and digital minimalism from first principles, extensively documented
