  I'm Getty and I start a lot of stuff and finish very little of
  it. Here's some of that stuff.

  If you want to contact me, send me email at **gdritter at
  infinitenegativeutility dot com**. You can also find me on [Twitter
  at @aisamanra](https://twitter.com/aisamanra) and [Mastodon as
  aysamanra@sometimes.when.computer](https://sometimes.when.computer/@aysamanra).
projects:
  - name: programming

      In addition to doing professional, mostly
      language-and-tooling-related work—currently on the ruby-infra
      team at Stripe—I also have some tools and libraries I maintain.

          but tailored to the way I want to track links. My own

  - name: art
    text: >
      I like doing art in various media: in physical media, I like
      sketching, watercolors, block printing and other printmaking
      techniques, and sporadically modeling with clay, while in
      digital media, I do sketching, pixel art, vector graphics work,
      and a bit of 3D modeling. I've got a separate Twitter account I
      use for occasionally posting art, which can be found at
      [@uzhdanra](https://twitter.com/uzhdanra).

          blog](https://thefireattheshoemakersestate.tumblr.com) which
          features much of my older artwork.
  - name: design
    text: >
      I have some projects which are information- or graphic-design
      related, and others that are about designing physical objects
      for my own use. As of right now, much of my physical design work
      is done with the help of a laser-cutter.
    stuff:
      - name: cocktail.graphics
        text: >
          [cocktail.graphics](https://cocktail.graphics/) is an
          information design project aimed at doing visual graph-style
          recipes for cocktails.
      - name: various laser projects
        text: >
          Since acquiring a laser-cutter, I've been using a
          combination of computer-aided design and procedural design
          to create physical objects.
  - name: writing
    text: >
      I write a lot of non-fiction blog posts, and I also write some
      fiction, relatively little of which I've made available publicly
      (yet!)

          [A blog](https://what.happens.when.computer/) focused on
          providing light but informative explanations of various

          [A blog](https://journal.infinitenegativeutility.com/)
          focused on providing deep dives into particular programming
          topics, mostly but not entirely focused on programming
          languages and their design.
      - name: journal: librarian of alexandria
        text: >
          [A blog](https://journal.librarianofalexandria.com/) devoted
          to anything else I haven't described above, especially
          tabletop-game-related topics but also any other project I
          find worth talking about.
  - name: games
    text: >
      I do some tabletop game design, and aspirationally would like to
      do more video game writing. To date I've published relatively
      few finished game projects, but I'd like to change that going
      forward.
