Revamped Blog, powered by Svelte

First off, congrats to the Svelte team on getting Sveltekit to 1.0! 🎉 I wanted to write a quick piece about my blog migration. I’m currently writing a longer, broader piece about my digital migration. tl;dr, data sovereignty and data preservation are very important and I don’t want to be locked into a platform. I’ll put into practice a concept from the IndieWeb community: POSSE — Publish Own Site Syndicate Elsewhere.

The exercise of writing

Museums + Memories

A year ago yesterday, Christmas Day 2016, while waiting to see Hidden Figures, I went to the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco and had the opportunity of seeing an exploratory exhibition on how we document, preserve, and pass on memories generationally. As a scientist, I have always been fascinated…
