Weather

The color palette of this site changes depending on the outside temperature at my home โ€” see the readout at the bottom of every page. A script maps temperatures to hues; the CSS adds lightness and chroma info to these to create the colors you see on the website.

Click the ๐Ÿ“ธ emoji in the footer to see a photo of local weather conditions โ€” this is updated whenever I post a photo on Mastodon with the #mnwx hashtag.

Style

I have a style guide for this site which I keep mostly in my head. The first two rules are:

  1. No code.
  2. No footnotes.

Tech

The static site and the email newsletter are generated using tools I wrote myself in Racket. The source code for this site is published as a Fossil repository. I save news about those tools, and other such shop-talk, for my newsletter.

Type

This site is set in Martina Plantijn by Klim Type, and LD Fabiol Pro by Lazydogs Typefoundry.

Privacy

This site has a simple Privacy Policy.
