i think it's a cool metric. also each time you access a site, you burn energy (higher file size = higher energy cost to view). learn more from low←tech magazine or from laura u. marks

((if you didn't notice, this metric is listed in the footer of each page; it includes all html/css/embedded files on the respective page))

((each page < 3.00MB))

((the total size of entire website = XXMB))

i have a linkedin out of sheer obligation and do not have any other relevant places for you to follow me on.

here are some completely unrelated links instead: why do we interface?; hyper-reality; best friend; low←tech magazine

a name i came up with for my methodology of coding. which is looking at a lot of open source repositories, puzzling it together, and then thinking about how i can take what i know and have some fun ((i.e. the gradient hover/mini-game at my home page + footers)). AKA: i am actually not good at coding, but have learned how to throw things together

my whole site is cobbled together using bootstrap.css and my limited knowledge of html/css. don't ask me to code custom websites ((but i can help with website builders!))
