About
Hello, I'm Bobby (he/him)
I'm a green bean.1 I like milky tea, potatoes in all their forms, and science fantasy.
My favorite punctuation is the em dash (β) and my favorite emoji is π. I enjoy parentheticals and segues and non sequiturs.
I also enjoy webcomics, particularly the following:2
How to be perfectly unhappy Wisdom of the ancients Connoisseur Spider paleontology Range of emotions My husband, E, has told me that my minutes are four times longer than his minutes. We live with our two cats in a tiny apartment in Sweden.

About this site
I have not created something for myself in a long while β and after reading Bringing back the minimal web and Don't make a blog, make a brain dump, I decided to spin up this little personal website.3
This is my tiny internet home, my online one-place-for-everything, my brain dump, where I putter around. It's messy here: in-progress design, underbaked thoughts, notes on things I'm learning, and journal entries that probably shouldn't be public. I change my mind often, so I edit and delete things often. Please don't mind the mess, but do reach out and let me know if there's something particularly hazardous. μ λΆνν΄.

I've included these here because they say something about my point of view & experience.β©
I also like the spirit of Learn in public, but am allergic to commitment, so it only gets a mention in the footnote here.β©
