“High latency” is a networking term for the lag between sending something and it arriving. It’s a fair description of how I put things into the world: some of what’s here I made twenty years ago and never showed anyone.

None of it is really finished. Most of my projects are prototypes I took far enough to prove the idea and then set down. I used to keep them to myself until they were “done,” which in practice meant never. So now I publish them anyway, unfinished as they are.

I’m not doing this to build an audience or sell anything — there’s nothing to subscribe to and no product at the end. I just like making things, and putting them somewhere public gets them out of my head. Once an idea is written up and posted, it stops rattling around in there, and I can let it go.

The one rule I’ve set myself is to publish something every weekend. Not because the work is fresh — most of it is old — but because without a deadline I’d never get around to posting any of it.

There’s also another origin to the name, that we all in some measure chase and understand these years, about moving slower, contemplating, disconnecting. About quality, zen, and the art of motorcycle maintenance :)
