Style
I have a style guide for this site which I keep mostly in my head. The first two rules are:
- No code.
- No footnotes.
Weather
The color palette of this site changes with the weather at my home. A script turns the outside temperature into a hue (mixed in the Oklab color space), shifted by the time of year, so 55ºF in May is a fresh green, where the same temp in October is more golden. Increasing cloud cover makes everything a bit more grey. Use the sliders at the bottom of every page to experiment with the hues resulting from different weather and seasonal conditions.
Click the 📸 emoji in the footer to see a photo of local weather conditions — this is updated whenever I post a photo on Mastodon with the #mnwx hashtag.
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.
