I'm planning on throwing art and stuff onto +the site, so I guess you can expect that. + +This isn't the first time I've done a blog, and it'll probably be relatively +short-lived like the others, but then again, I actually programmed this from +scratch, and it's a kind of interesting setup (serverless/single-page). Here's +the [GitHub repository][repo] if you're curious! + +--- + +I guess I'll explain. + +In the very beginning(tm), I used Scratch to post art. Haha. Scratch was +flawed, though. I wrote a little bit (somewhat indirectly) about that +[here][scratch-flaws]. But really Scratch just wasn't designed to, well, +"professionally" share art. + +So for a while I was using Twitter to post art, instead. This wasn't perfect, +either, though. Twitter is nice for sharing random junk like +[this][neck-sizes], but not so much art projects I've put semi-significant +amounts of work into. It's not a very good place for sharing detailed feedback. + +What I eventually noticed is that a blog would work best. Just, you know, a +place where I can post updates on the stuff I've made, and at least have the +technical potential for better discussion. So I programmed a blog, because I'm +too lazy to mess around with server hosts and Jekyll and other horrible stuff. +(And also because I wanted to.
