How to read the archive

Some pieces are essays. Some are videos. Some are practical notes. The goal is not perfect uniformity, but a durable record of a life across mediums.

  • Start with a trail if you want chronology.
  • Start with a realm if you want a theme.
  • Read over time if you want the archive to accumulate meaning.
