Moon-lit dots
I dimmed the wave’s dots at night, toward daytime’s contrast.
- Dark-mode dots sit closer to day’s contrast, with a touch more alpha under the moon.

Saying it plainly
The homepage now says who I am in words, for people and agents.
- A positioning line under my name, and a page title that leads with name and role.
- Schema.org data and /llms.txt come from one source.
- Cookie-free page views are back, and the build checks what it publishes.

Motion that follows the market
Her motion follows the sea’s pace, and the sky follows your clock.
- Bob, pitch and sway ride the wave. Rougher seas move her more.
- By your local time, night brings the moon, stars and her lying back.
- Spray follows how hard she carves.

She waves hello
She waves hello, and the weather line says what the market is doing in plain words.
- She waves while the market’s open, then eases into surfing.
- “About this wave” opens with a plain summary.
- My PGP key is served through Web Key Directory.

Case studies get a door
Studies sit behind a password door, encrypted when the site builds.
- Opening a study grows its block to fill the screen.
- Market closed: she lies back on her board, under a rayed sun.
- Fixed a hidden study link on phones.

She learns to wait
She bobs, glances around and lifts her arms, as if waiting for you to scroll.
- Head, torso, arms and legs each turn on their own.
- Side ears, a swaying ponytail, bigger hands.
- A buoy setting for the homepage.

Case studies learn the ridge
Each study opens on the stretch of market where the work happened.
- Study headers zoom the landscape to their years, with the surfer riding it.
- Voxel bullets and two new graphics, Waffle and DataFlow.
- A reading rail carries her to the next chapter.

A surfer I can tune by eye
One set of numbers now shapes the surfer, so I can tune her by eye.
- A redesigned surfer: eyes, a ponytail, a wider board.
- A dev-only lab for trying her out. The build fails if it ever ships.

A sky-blue day mode
Light mode was beige. It’s sky-blue now, contrast-checked in every sea.
- Day mode is sky-blue, AA contrast in every sea state.
- Her board is pointer-shaped, and she turns with your scroll.
- A voxel “CC” favicon, and no more night flash in Safari.

The new site
Moved from Create React App to Astro, keeping the S&P 500 ridge.
- One career page, newest first.
- The ridge traces the S&P 500 from 2007, refreshed hourly. The day’s market sets the sea.
- Bricolage Grotesque, Atkinson Hyperlegible and Martian Mono, over a deep-sea palette.
