What a personal site is for

A personal site is useful because it does not need to behave like a platform. It can be uneven. A long essay can sit beside three sentences. A project can remain visible after the launch conversation ends.

The archive matters, but so does the act of arranging it. Categories become a record of attention. Links reveal a set of neighbors. The gaps are allowed to say that life was happening somewhere else.

I want this site to be less of a publication schedule and more of a worktable: current notes near the front, older tools within reach, and enough empty space for the next thing to arrive.
