The previous design didn’t have the modules I needed for a blog or portfolio, so I rebuilt everything using Hugo - a static site generator. It turned out to be more work than anticipated. 2022 update: It was more work than I was prepared for, so I re-did the website again. 2023 update: Same situation. Another redesign. 2024 update: Third redesign for similar reasons. At some point the pattern becomes the story. Each iteration teaches something new, and the next one is always better than the last - even if “better” just means “I’ll probably rebuild this too.” New content coming soon.
