My name is Jeff Keddy, I have been touching computers since I was around 12 years old and doing it professionally for over a decade. I'm a private person (you will not see a photo of me on here) and don't particularly like maintaining a web presence with my name attached. I like to blend profundity with foolishness. A blue collar white collar worker.

This website was built using the wonderful AstroJS platform along with some Cloudflare magicks and my own particular brand of madness. I have envisioned it as a walking along a garden path rather than entering a mall. This might mean whatever page you access may look or behave completely differently than any other page.
I think the fun of the internet has been lost in favor of the exact same safe UX patterns being used on every single site out there. I don't believe corporate marketing efforts necessarily need to be the most daring products on earth, but something in between "hero image followed 3 info columns" and Neocities seems reasonable. This is especially true as the internet becomes inundated with Endless Trash brought to you by Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. A little friction is nice sometimes.
