we made websites like this when i was 13. nice to get back into it :)

i'm a recovering software engineer and habitual programmer who started making websites at age 12 on geocities (do not cite the old magic to me; i was there when it was written, etc). i don't trust what the internet has become, so i want to try and make it a little more like what it was.

offline, i really like to garden, make things out of stuff i grew, read (a lot of poetry and nonfiction rn but i like SFF too!), hang out with my wife and the baby, kiss my cat on her little head, do crafts, and write stories. i'm also working on writing some video essays to record?
