hi hello! welcome to km.garden: my little addition to the slow web. this is my digital garden. it's not really a portfolio (though it is), not a feed, and not a dashboard. it is something more like a yard that's always a bit overgrown with weeds, volunteer plants, and paths that wander off into the forest. i like it that way.

i've been scattered across the web for a while, none of it really connected except via ideas and links. at home i have a fairly nuculear life with a partner, a dog named tennessee williams, a cat named totoro, and bees and a real garden to tend to. km.garden is an attempt to bridge my real and digital life, and to grow out a taproot where everything connects via rhizomes. this garden is my gravitational centre. an almost complete ecology of me.

what to expect here:

• slow posts. one or two a week, maybe less.
• notes on tools i'm building and tending to including bash scripts, leaflet maps, cli workflows, small web things.
• thinking out loud about philosophy and soft stack ecologies: systems as living things, tools as care, infrastructure as something you tend rather than optimize.
• updates on projects: huewave, robotameri.ca, the anarchive, the solarpunk almanac, whatever is sprouting at the time.
• the occasional poem or collage, likely living over in clutter.

the site is pure html + css. no javascript, no analytics, no tracking. three panes, flat borders, on an olive background. assets on cloudflare r2. it is as boring and observable as i can make it, which is, honestly, the whole point.

this garden runs on soft stack ecology and zenops principles as well as what i call soft circuit ethics: simple, repairable, human-scale systems built with care rather than ambition. the guiding rule: tend the system, don't optimize it.

i am glad you found my garden. keep looking around 🪴
