  • All long-range predictions are acts of faith rather than logic.
  • The only way to get anything done is to reduce forward motion to achievable increments.

+ About this page
This website is a personal design experiment. It was built with the following principles in mind:
  • Efficiency — everything is contained in a single html file.
  • Simplicity — the page tries to avoid unnecessary complexities. As simple as possible, but not simpler.
  • Accessibility — across colour sensitivities, bandwidth capabilities, and device types.
