About

I'm tjp — an elder-millennial software engineer living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I write mostly Python, spend too long in the terminal, and care about software that's small, legible, and built to last.

This site is where I keep my writing. If you want to reach me, t@tjp.lol is the best way.

Welcome in. This site is my writing desk: weblog posts moving over from my gemini:// capsule, plus a public cut of the notes I keep in Obsidian and sync across my machines with Syncthing.

Plain HTML and CSS. No JavaScript, no tracking — it reads exactly the same with scripts turned off. That's the point.

This is a digital garden — a public slice of the notes I keep in Obsidian. Unlike the weblog, these aren't essays. They're living pages: some are a paragraph, some are years old, most link to each other. Start anywhere and follow the threads.
