Colophon
This site was written by me (a human). My apologies to all the bots whose jobs I have taken.
The footer proudly states—in a tongue-in-cheek manner—that this site was built without JavaScript. I call this out because it follows my ethos to use the right tool for the job. I don’t eat yogurt with a shovel, so I don’t see any reason to force users to download a bunch of JavaScript for a static site.
Plus, native web APIs have come a long way over the years. You should try them sometime; they’re fun to use.
This site was built with some degree of haste and is not exactly perfect, but then again, perfection is boring.
