About this Site
Six static pages painted on the sides of a box.
Everything here is hand-written HTML and CSS served as flat files. No framework on this page, no tracking, no cookie banner.

About Me
Dan Stoyell. I build small things on nights and weekends.
Mostly prediction markets, baby names, and chess boards that listen.

Posts about whatever catches my interest. Often, that will be technology, politics, or literature, but who knows. Usually data-driven.

The box is six <section> elements on a CSS
preserve-3d parent. No 3D library — the pages are
real DOM, so the text stays text and the links stay links.
Dragging pushes the camera back and tumbles the box freely; letting go rights it, because the only orientations it rests in are the six that leave a page level. Stars are a small 2D canvas.
Vite builds it. Nginx serves it. A DigitalOcean droplet hosts it.
