Wild, wild tech

A belated celebration — I participated in the AWP 2026 conference in Baltimore! This was March 4–7, although I was only able to attend the Saturday events. I was part of a panel called The New Embodied Lyrics of Wild, Wild Tech with Jennifer Steinorth, Erika Meitner, Urayoán Noel, and Kathy Wu. I have been able to become familiar with Kathy and their work at a few events before, and it’s always so…

A busy spring

I will be at the AWP Conference in Baltimore this weekend! I will be on a panel called “The New Embodied Lyrics of Wild, Wild Tech” with Jennifer Steinorth, Erika Meitner, Urayoán Noel, and Kathy Wu. Below is the event description. Digital networks, IT, and computational technologies riddle twenty-first-century experience, yet these paradigms are largely absent from contemporary poetry. What do we…

Coem Q&A

The extremely cool Daniel Temkin from esoteric.codes asked me some questions about Coem over email and I thought it would be nice to copy over some of my (lightly edited) answers here. Thanks for reaching out — I’m a big fan of esoteric.codes and it was a huge part of how I first dove into this field and why I wanted to try my hand at a small project of my own. So thank you for all your own…

HTML Day and celebrating websites

We did an HTML Day in Boston ! Cynthia and I co-hosted the event in a park, in parallel with an incredible number of other HTML events that sprouted up in places all across the world . The turnout was amazing — lots of gratitude to people who shared the social posts and got the word out. (Shout-out to Neocities , too, who had a special HTML Day link in the banner of their site!) It was also really…

Carving out a window

Not a rock-shattering manifesto, but a periodic crystallisation. / Here, the stream of consciousness bubbles up into an eddy, a sporadic focus point. / In the house of my mind, I carve out another window of a certain shape and build, through which I may see into the world, and through which the world might look back at me. The framing du jour says: I’m interested in language and representations of…

Gallaudet and the Signing Starbucks (a D.C. travelogue)

I visited Washington, D.C. recently. I got to try out my brand new camera there! Having a camera on you really changes what you pay attention to, and even how people see you and interact with you, in little ways. It’s an intimidating city — lobbying firms on every block, embassies wedged in between businesses, bus stops plastered with tech ads aimed at government agencies. And the White House is…

What should I use to make a website?

I’ve been trying to collect some resources for website-curious friends. Preamble A few months ago, I posted an invitation and offer to my Instagram story (full text below). have u always wanted ur own website? hey friends! if you have been wanting to set up your own website but don’t know where to start or want an accountability buddy to help see you through - let me know! i don’t have all the…

I've been tagged

I have a blog, I guess? I have some vague overtures at what I suppose could count as a blog. It’s a very fledging and still-finding-its-legs blog, so it was very generous of Ethan to tag me in this challenge. But I respect Ethan very much and am very amenable to doing what he asks of me. Why did you start blogging in the first place? I had a website for a good while, but it was just a place to put…

As the drum of days beats a slower rhythm

A—— has been working really hard on his goals and it’s making me feel renewed and more sustainable excitement to work on mine, too. I met up with a couple friends this weekend, and I always come away from that with a reminder that we’re all just striving towards our own little goals, and we just want to see each other happy and fulfilled and thriving. Writings My piece on poetic programming, A…
