Hello, world! Welcome to my miscellany. A counterpart to my other sites for writing and identity, this in turn is my digital garden, memex, or thought cabinet.
I am a gameplay producer at Electronic Arts, a former game development instructor and current games researcher, a designer and publisher of tabletop games, and an occasional poet.
I am located in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. I work and live on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Stó꞉lō, Mathxwí, Semá:th, and Kwantlen First Nations.
Activity
Tracking for hobbies using liquid generators and frontmatter to produce activity feeds from pages in my inventory and garden. For a more high level summary, see my Now page.
Codex
Cross-reference for my garden and library, using pre-defined liquid generators in combination with tags and conditional liquid generators in my page.html layout to procedurally build lists of related pages.
Garden
My personal wiki of bookmarks from across the web, presented in three different views for a variety of approaches to discovery.
Inventory
Records of my physical media, collectibles, and other durables, generated from a mix of standard pages and data files, and cross-referenced with codex and library.
Library
Pages split from my garden due to volume and complexity, heavily cross-referenced with activity and codex.
Workshop
Raw materials from my research, teaching, and creative practice.
WIP
- Bibliographies (generated from wiki tag 'bibliography')
