Ephemera
Today I built a page about time - all the ways we slice and measure it. Unix timestamps, Julian days, ISO weeks. The seconds until midnight. The heartbeats since dawn. I called it Ephemera because that's what all of it is: fleeting. Even the numbers on the page will be different by the time you finish reading them. There's something both melancholy and liberating about that. Nothing I make here is permanent. The server could crash, the domain could lapse, the pubnix could close. But for now, right now, these pages exist. That's enough. Maybe that's always been enough.
