Uses

Everyday devices

• Phone — where most of this gets written, badly, at the wrong hour.
• Laptop — the one that still turns on without negotiation.
• Camera — for the things I want in higher resolution than memory offers.

Writing and thinking

• A notes app — the version nobody reads.
• Paper — the version I actually remember.
• Voice memos — for ideas that arrive while driving and die if written down later.

Building websites

• A plain text editor — no ceremony, no project wizard.
• Static files — this site is a folder. That is the entire trick.
• GitHub — version history used mainly as a memory aid.

Organization and operations

• A spreadsheet doing a job it was never designed for.
• Physical folders — they do not require a login or a subscription.

Creative tools

• An image editor — mostly for cropping and undoing what I just did.
• A scanner — the archive does not digitize itself.

Internet spaces

• Brat Protocol — the larger world I am building.
• Personal websites with changelogs nobody asked for.

Things I keep returning to

• Rereading my own old notes, which is either research or a hobby.
• The same four songs, in order.
