👋 About Me

Extremely-online since ninety-nine (or possibly earlier, but I like the rhyme). Blogs at DanQ.me with posts going back to ~1998. Toots as @dan@danq.me. Queerer than the average bear.

I was six years old when I decided I wanted to be a computer programmer. So that's what I did. As a result, my career history is the most boring thing imaginable. It's like the story of somebody who self-actualised at 21 and couldn't quite work up the courage to do anything different.

But at night, I become... well, whatever you see here, I guess. Owner of too many domain names. Compulsive volunteer. Releaser of terrible open-source tools. Lover of the indieweb/smolweb. Lifelong learner.

📰 What've I been blogging?

I'm a prolific blogger, writing copious short notes, reposts with commentary, and location-based checkins, along with a smattering of longer-form "articles".

🐌 Snail-Mail Me?

I'm thinking I'll publish a (forwarding, anonymous) postal address on my personal website soon, in case anybody wants to send me a postcard or something rather than an email. If you've found this profile page and want to help me test it out/be the first person to send something to my PO Box, please do (letters/postcards only, no parcels):

I've recently started encouraging Internet people to send me (physical!) postcards - here are some I've received already. It all started here on Melonland! Would you like to send me one?

• Magic (in-person, and ideally up-close; videos of magic are boring).
• Geo*ing (geohashing, geocaching, sometimes other GPS sports).
• Making the Web fun and weird (again), one page at a time.
• Science fiction. Science fact. Science.
