Under the surface
Since you came this far, you might as well look underneath.
The visible homepage is intentionally almost empty. Under it there are projects, notes, saved links and a few traces of how I look at digital things.

What lives under the paper
Not really a sitemap. More like a tidy storage room: if something interests you, you can find it.
A note that is not especially useful, therefore necessary If you are still here, the filter is working. Please do not make too much noise about it.

Things worth keeping
Things I save and a few well-made 404s. Click and you leave the site for the original source. Yes, on purpose.
Art History Project An art-history archive made less for rushing through answers and more for getting properly lost: images, essays, timelines and movements with a quiet entrance and a lot of depth. 
Mirabilia Coffee A selected specialty coffee subscription that explains things without turning tasting into an oral exam. Quieter, better. 
Nerdvana Shopping guides for travelling nerds: shops, routes, QR codes and maps. Useful like a small mission list. 
Marvel Here the error becomes entertainment, as it should when you have a whole narrative universe to draw from. Very brand, very pop, quite memorable. Final score 8.7 
LEGO A lost page that feels like LEGO without needing to explain LEGO. It turns the error into play, which is exactly the right instinct here. Final score 8.3 
NASA When the context helps, use it. A space-themed 404 already has a huge narrative advantage: here the error almost becomes the subject. Final score 8.3 Did something stay with you?
Write to me. Or buy me a coffee, at least that one is not metaphorical.
