Why this site exists

One face, many views. A note on building a personal site around a single thesis instead of scattering myself across platforms.

Most personal sites split a person into pieces. One site for work, a blog somewhere else, a Letterboxd profile, a Strava feed. Each one a different face for a different room.

I don’t experience my life that way. The films I watch, the books I read, the trips I take, the things I build — they’re not separate categories. They’re angles on one unit, which is me.

So this site is built around a single idea: everything is interconnected. Every post, trip, and project shares one shape and one tag vocabulary. The pages you see — the home rail, work, now, the tag threads — are all just queries over the same pile. Add a new kind of thing and it’s a new query, not a new identity.

The wall, the auto-pulled data, the 3D experiments: those are expressions of the thesis, not the point. The point is the voice.

This is the first post. It exists to prove the plumbing: it links to afiche and to a trip, and you should see those show up in the “Related” rail below — connection rendered, not decorated.
