What is this Website About?
This website is my commentary on trivial topics and serves as a private learning vehicle and testbed for my web design tools and ideas. The website's appearance and style may vary as I continue to experiment with its layout.
What It Is Not About
In line with the British Army's code of conduct for junior officers engaging in polite conversation, this site avoids any mention of sex, religion, or politics. The aim is to provide a balanced, apolitical platform that anyone can enjoy without fear of bias.
Who is it for?

Welcome to my experimental platform! Here, I delve into web design tools and ideas, using this site as a learning vehicle and testbed. I strive to create an eye-catching aesthetic with changing appearances, names, and URLs. Please note this site does not touch upon controversial topics such as sex, religion, or politics. The personal blog, however, keeps me in touch with friends and family across three continents. So not only can I satisfy my creative curiosity, but I also manage to stay connected all at once!
