Works composed while living abroad in London for just shy of three years. I was serving as an Artist in Residence at ZKM in southern Germany; spending quite a bit of time there housed in a (possibly haunted) nurse’s dormitory adjacent to the local hospital.

Graphic design, product design, interaction design—even typeface design… These are entwined disciplines with boundaries forever interloping.

Works composed for, or directly relating to, my favorite medium: the World Wide Web. I was lucky enough to thank Sir Tim Berners-Lee for his invention in person at a 25th birthday party for the Web. There were countless pre-inventors before him, and infinitely more pioneers afterward, but Tim (and CERN) mark a special nexus in human history.

Projects, essays, or news items that feature topics or methods that I’ve taught myself, rather than received formal instruction on. These are often illustrations of my broad curiosity and tenacity. (In stark contrast to the times that I’m exhausted and hide behind the curtains.) See also, Quantum Computing (QC), Artificial Intelligence (AI/ML), Spatial Computing (XR), writing, and music.

Works that make particular use of my favorite widely-used programming language. I’ve been an enthusiastic fan since before Douglas Crockford wrote JavaScript: The Good Parts. It’s dirty and weirdly flexible; so flexible that cowards tried to graft classical inheritance onto it, and later invented TypeScript. (Disgusting.) It could only be better if it had been allowed to be Scheme as Brendan Eich had intended. (I strongly disagree with Eich’s early-2000s stance against gay marriage, but it would be wrong not to acknowledge him as the initial creator of JavaScript. We must contend with our history rather than ignore it.)
