https://www.andrewmao.net

Academic turned startup founder (https://twitter.com/mizzao/status/1505529213612609536), so the content that was once academic self-promotion doesn't really know what it should do.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this site is the resume that I used to generate using CSS and Jekyll's build process (https://www.andrewmao.net/resume): when someone would ask me for a PDF I'd just do "save as PDF" in Chrome and twiddle the margins a bit. I got tired of using LaTeX.

(I say "used to" because as a founder the resume doesn't matter anymore)

To add to the pile: http://www.drusepth.com

It's a wordpress site with a few hundred short stories, serials, and poems that I go back to every time I try a new platform and ultimately decide no writing platform is actually good (yet). Maybe one day I'll build a good one and write there; until then, wordpress suffices.

Bonus poem about leaving Amazon: http://www.drusepth.com/poetry/thing-a-week-36-a-quest-for-r...

I write stories to teach Japanese without relying on translation (like the lingua latina per se illustrata). I have been working on it almost every day for the past 3 years. I am so proud of the result. Every page solves the tiny problem of introducing a few new words in context. That's not hard per se but the accumulation of these makes the result unique.

This is my personal site: https://tacosteemers.com

Occasionally I add a technical blogpost, notes for later reference or a little tool. Recently I made an online tool to display the color output of web color text notations in code listings. https://tacosteemers.com/files-static/tools/color_values.htm...

I just added two fields of changing colors. CSS only. I find them nice to look at from time to time. The changes are not fast or flashing, but I don't know if these are safe to look at for everyone.
