Hello, world
Every personal site begins the same way: with a blank page and the faint suspicion that nobody will ever read it.This one included. Writing for an audience of one is underrated; the archives of the early web are full of people thinking out loud, and some of it turned out to matter. I built this one anyway, because thinking in public keeps me honest.
The design brief was simple: text should be the whole point. No hero images, no animations competing for attention, just words set well. Footnotes get the margin treatmentSidenotes, technically. Edward Tufte popularized them in print; on the web they keep asides next to the sentence they belong to instead of banishing them to the bottom of the page. On a narrow screen, tap the number to reveal the note. so an aside never has to interrupt the sentence it belongs to.
What goes here
Notes on engineering, training logs from whatever race I'm pointing at next, and the occasional essay that takes longer than a weekend to finish.The essay graveyard currently holds drafts on: why most run training plans are secretly the same plan, and a defense of the long run as the only workout that matters. One of them may escape. Everything is a draft until it isn't.
If you're reading this, the site works. That's the whole milestone. Onwards.
