It is July, and it is hot. I just finished a post about screen readers. The writing is a little clumsy, but I'm glad to wrap up the project. Check my /nuggets for fun supplementary material.
Now I'm ready to resume some coding projects. Time for less consuming, less commentary, more creating (#103).

ABOUT
Welcome to my website! I'm a software developer. I'm usually thinking about:- crafting convenient, lean websites and webapps
- making computers easier for people
- honing my command-line workflow
- tightening feedback loops
- designing with empathy
- teaching effectively
- writing more (RSS)
- helping others
- minimalism
- usability
- friction
- making sure of the more important things; offline priorities
Tired of hearing about software? Understandable. Take refuge in /notebook-love, /enjoyables, or some /nuggets. Everything else, unfortunately, is about computers. Sorry about that.
Here's a bit more about me: I look like this, sort of. I love soccer, tennis, basketball, ping pong, barefoot running, squatting, Brussels sprouts, math tutoring, teaching, black Ticonderogas, cats, Florida, and hammocks. I wish I read more books and doodled more doodles. I've already wasted too much life on screens. Don't make the same mistake -- remember to touch grass today! But not until you're finished looking around here. Consider listening to one of my favorite albums while you browse, too. That's always fun.
Cheers,
justin@wonger.dev
