- The site uses a permalink pattern of `/blog/:title/` for all posts. The `/blog/` slug is canonical.
- Many posts are short captions for embedded video or animated gif artifacts; treat the prose as supplementary to the visual work.
- Thoughts and opinions on the site are personal and do not represent any past or present employer.
