There is a particular kind of restlessness that only goes away when I am making something. Not consuming, not planning — making. A sentence, a function, a drawing. The medium barely matters.

The blank page is a promise

What this site is

If you want to follow along, the newsletter is the best way. Otherwise, wander.
