My name is Matt and this site serves as a notebook for my interests:

• Reading and writing: sharing ideas effectively
• Human-computer interfaces: how to make computers work efficiently for people
  • Endlessly refining my macOS software setup
  • Unobtrusive computing using hardware like e-ink displays
• Elegant software: robust, self-explanatory, and just-clever-enough programs
• Small-scale fabrication: pen plotters, 3D printers, and CNC routers
• The open web: non-commercial refuges on the internet
• Bicycling and transportation safety: road design should protect vulnerable users

The content here grows organically and shifts around, so links may become stale during these early months.
