About

I’m making this blog to document my escapades, teach myself writing, practice building websites, show off my doodles, try my hand at design and—most importantly—to have fun. I’ve been writing about the various (mis-)adventures I’ve been having–nearly getting arrested for stealing my own bicycle, a rained-on attempt at climbing Mt. Fuji or bicycle rides.

It’s also an attempt to disengage from social media, and add more depth and intentionally to what I share. There is a small but rising movement to return to the web of the 2000’s. In part it is a celebration of the whimsical place the internet was. In part it is a push back against the algorithmization of our online lives. The web used to be distributed, I can’t say it is anymore, with its take-over by the vampiric tech-corps and the grifting web 3.0 bros. Much has been lost.

Join the movement: spin up a website on NeoCities. It’s not too hard and help is always around. It certainly takes less time than doom scrolling. I don’t use NeoCities because I’m a bit of a masochist and a control freak. I try to do as much is reasonable by hand, from the writing to the design and illustration.

Share and enjoy!
