Welcome!
This is the nth, and maybe final (ha!), iteration of my personal website. (I am not related to George Pollard, the captain of the ill-fated whaleship Essex, but I have read Moby Dick.)
This time around my personal site takes the form of a collection of notes rather than attempting (and failing) to function as a blog.
Some entry points:
Elsewhere
My other sites are:
- Ways to Play, a site about traditional board and card games
You can also find me on:

- Mastodon: @porges@toot.cafe
- note that I do not check this very often
Previously
I was previously on these sites but no longer use them:
