I originally intended for my blog to be a self-published academic journal. Its an obtuse format, but the rewards could've been great:

• VERY easy to insert math, algorithms, chemical equations
• Easy to print
• I could cite myself in ACS format on lab reports!

However, I couldn't get the styling to be coherent in a non-LARPy way, and the wording of the whole document never reached consistency. These problems kept me from from publishing my work, which became the biggest problem.

So instead, I decided to go with a web blog. Hopefully it doesn't stay like a typical blog (static site generator slop), nor end like a typical blog (abandoned). So long as I continue working on a post I have planned in the near future which has interactive elements, neither issue should happen!

I Love Dynamics!

I'm a proponent of light but responsive layouts (have you inferred?) so I wanted to make my blogging framework dynamic in a way that enhanced the reading experience. That's why if you have JavaScript enabled and scroll, I've made the header lerp between its two states!

To help demonstrate this feature, I have part of a famous excerpt below:
