What it all boils down to is: I love language. I adore semantics. Agonizing over what words to use and how to string them together to form the perfect text is one of my favorite things.
My aspiration is to create content that explains complex things so people will understand them, but also to pass on my own fascination for a subject to the reader. My articles on a fleeting moment of ‘global’ sunlight, the Moon’s orientation in the sky, and the start of the decade are examples of what I aim for.
