Single-Page, Server-Side, Static… say what?

An emoji-filled learning journey about the trade-offs of different website architectures, complete with gifs, diagrams, and demo apps. — If you’ve been hanging around the internet, trying to build websites and apps, you may have heard some words in conversation like static site or server-side rendered (SSR) or single-page app (SPA).

i am who i am

or, what I wish I had known how to say when you told me, at age ten, that I intimidated boys (and meant that was a bad thing) I should come with a warning label: do not stare at the sun, she is so bright you might forget how to see anything…

I am here, now

I dreamed myself into your city. I woke up in the house you own, woke up in your bed covered in the quilts my mother gave me, dappled by sunlight filtering through the oaks outside your window. I felt your reality with my bare soles; I stood in your kitchen and the tiles were…

Psalm for winter in San Francisco

In the garden you gave me, I planted a tree and see how strong the roots did grow — plunging deep into loam and earth, they broke new ground and planned to stay. Where did the grass go? In this cold soil only frost grows. Where are the vibrant blooms, the flowering…

Psalm on the streets of Prenzlauer Berg

To be with you is to walk alone on quiet city streets — a nearly silent soundtrack of leather soles and their soft krisks against the paper flames of leaves and mottled cobbled stones, the air so still as near to hear each thud of heart— and in solitude find communion…

Another way of saying I still think of you

I’ve been conducting a study of brokenness in the city with an emphasis on glass and dreams. Everywhere I go, I catalogue: car windows, shop windows, home windows, bottles. The sharp shards sparkle in chaotic constellations. To each I contribute my own disappointments for the next stranger to appreciate the odd beauty exposed in the shattering.
