<h1>About me and this website I’ve built.</h1>

<h2>All about Nathan</h2>
|

<p>I’m a prolific vegan home cook, classical trombonist, a <abbr title="Free/Libre Open Source Software">FLOSS</abbr> enthusiast, daily GNU/Linux user and unabashed <a href="https://kde.org/">KDE</a> stan, speaker of subpar elementary Spanish, incense appreciator, writer, electronics hobbyist, designer, programmer, music producer, print lover, and human with too many interests and too little time.

This is my personal website and blog, a little corner of the internet where I can talk about whatever I like without worrying about maintaining a ‘personal brand’, or constraining subject matter to those topics which might help advance my career or establish me as a ‘thought leader’. I’m here to express myself as a human and have fun writing about topics I enjoy. If you’d like to learn more about my professional accomplishments and work, I’ll link my professional website here soon.</p>

<h2>About this website</h2>
|
||
<p>This website is made with <a href="https://www.11ty.dev/">the 11ty static site generator</a>, free and open source variable typefaces <a href="https://www.gent.media/manrope">Manrope</a> and <a href="https://fraunces.undercase.xyz/">Fraunces</a>, along with plain-old HTML, CSS, and some vanilla JavaScript for the web components that I built to handle comments. I used the handy calculators on <a href="https://utopia.fyi">utopia.fyi</a> to help me implement fluid typography and spacing.

I don’t collect any of your personal information, full-stop. All webfonts, icons, and images are hosted locally (these things can sometimes be used to <a href="https://www.firstpost.com/world/how-google-uses-fonts-to-track-what-users-do-online-and-sell-data-to-advertisers-12496552.html">track people across the internet</a> otherwise). I use <a href="https://umami.is/">umami</a>, an open source, privacy-respecting analytics tool, to see how many people visit this website.
