Let’s make nice things

I'm Aria. This page is pretty intentionally spartan: it is more than anything a repository with permanent URLs for things I'm discussing with friends and coworkers, for projects and notes.

I generally file things by date — 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2021.

I'm the oldest of four children. I've been unschooled for the majority of my learning. I left school after my fourth grade year, what looked to quite likely be the high point of my school education for many years to come. I haven't looked back, and it's become a deep part of who I am.

I'm interested in nearly everything. I read every piece of information I come across. Study is natural to me. I'm happiest when I'm creating things. I sew, I draw, I play with photography, I play the cello. I study fractals and distributed information systems and physics and chemistry and social relationships on all levels.

Some of the fun stuff in my web repository includes photos of a flight over the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the Cimarron Ridge, wallpapers (Share and share alike license), photos of a hike up the Blue Lakes Trail in the Mt. Sneffels Wilderness, and other photos I really like.

I work on a variety of open-source projects, among them gurgitate-mail, Camping at the Mailbox, the kraken.js framework, and several others.

I'm also active on social media if you want to contact me.
