I went sixteen years without this page, but it’s probably necessary now that some of my posts are being shared in high-profile places.

To paraphrase technical writer Chris Sanders:

It’s my [site] and I can do what I want here.

This blog has always been a labor of love project for me. I find writing cathardic, and a practical way to remember thoughts, news, and processes. This ethos informs the rest of this page.

I accept comments through email and Twitter. I’m usually unreasonably happy to get them! I may even quote you if I think there’s something useful for everyone.

But while you can disagree with what I’ve written, I don’t owe you an explanation or engagement, nor can you demand them of me (see above). I specifically ignore comments that:

  3. only serve to nitpick;
  4. are written in bad faith;
