Welcome to the cozy lighthouse in the cove
I’m your host, @kev_mcg—intrepid web diving companion, jaunty poet-of-qwerty-and-canvas, and convivial home cook.
In the studio, you may find loose manuscripts on pattern languages, practicing creativity, and diving logs. In the kitchen, there are odes to vegetables, and half-painted portraits. Later on we can gather ‘round the table to roll the D20 in the metagame of myth, metaphor, and meaning.
Signal your address and I’ll send you letters in bottles.
