Hi there.

This site has been around since December 2000. There have been ups and downs, but it’s been nice having a place to write things that feel like they belong to me, not to the place where I write them.

Here, some recent (?) posts:

Alert Lobster

Whenever I walk down this hallway, I always think “Alert Lobster.”
