Welcome, friends. What is this place?

First and foremost, this shit is hella under construction. Peruse at your own risk. (so many dead pages, son.) We are building this from the ground up after 10 years away from webdev and boy it is humbling.

Secondly, this is my love letter to The Old Internet and my own past in web dev.
I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago...

If you are unfamiliar with the term Commonplace Book, it is essentially the heart and soul of the maker laid bare. Alternatively, here is the wikipedia explanation, although I think you will find my assessment is much more intimately accurate. It is not necessarily a diary, thought it can include that. They are not necessarily public, either, but it's 2026 and this is a website, not a notebook.

What I would like This Book to become:

• A connection to the artistry I had as a child. Web dev brought out a creativity in me that I have been unable to access since I gave it up 10+ years ago and I want it back. This is my attempt to rekindle the flame and let passion ignite other areas of my life which are without light.
• An exploration of concepts and ideas (and maybe concepts of ideas) that I have buried within me for various reasons.
• A collection of tiny essays, reviews, and ponderings of the intellect around me, wherever it may come from. I want to remember the way things make me feel.
• An accessible reference book to things that interest me, empassion me, or scare me.
• An archive of the old websites I created while in high school because I did some hella cool shit y'all.

I hope you enjoy your stay, find something fun or thoughtful or inspiring, sign the Guestbook I will hopefully someday possibly install. May This Book help you grok things that elude, intimidate, and scare you. Or at the very least, may it entertain you enough to keep you off big scary newsfeeds for a little while.
