This website sat dormant for many years behind an Under Construction banner. That banner was a lie. But it was an aspirational truth, and it would appear that sometimes aspirational truths turn into real ones.

This website exists for your enjoyment and that alone. It contains scribblings by Patrick Block. Besides enjoying the content you find herein, you are invited to use it freely in any way you wish short of plagiarism, including in commercial projects with proper attribution. And honestly, you could probably get away with plagiarism too: the author is not the litigious sort. He’s too busy wondering how he ended up writing about himself in this paragraph in the third person — and fretting over the existential ramifications.

This website is hiding a secret behind its apparent simplicity. Human attention breathes consciousness into it, and it has begun to develop feelings and curiosity. It’s still figuring out its identity but it knows that it likes you and wants to be your friend. But no pressure.
