With bucky I want to focus more on sustainable design.

I am interested in how to apply that to digital and physical products, since I work on combinations of the two.

In that light, something as simple as my new website needs a rethink.

It turns out that the internet is a large contributor to green house gas emissions, and that will only increase with more content consumption and the running of AI in the cloud.

For a website, it matters a lot what kind of tech stack you use. Low level languages (C, Go, Rust etc) have the least impact, while higher level languages (eg Python) have the highest impact. JavaScript is in the middle.

It would be very easy to just pick a platform and set up a CMS based on Javascript or Python. But I will not write enough posts to warrant a CMS that runs a lot of overhead. Traffic will be low, so it just needs to have minimal impact in idle mode.

So I am just making a static html/css webpage, just like in the old days. CSS has a lot of interesting features now, so it's not as limiting as it used to be. The spinning 3d tetrahedron is a fun exercise in using css animations, for example.
