Brandon Lee

Hi! I’m a designer in Singapore. The YouTube algorithm currently recommends me canned sardine reviews, vinyl jazz mixes from Japanese living rooms, and retro gaming livestreams.

I still get excited about new technologies, although I’ve watched blockchains and generative AI get captured by the same market forces that keep us from having nice things. This blog is where I write about that — and whatever else catches my attention.

Where to find me

This weblog

I’ve run this site since 2002. These days it’s mostly weekly life updates, some photos, and the occasional product review.

This domain started on Blogger after a series of handcrafted protoblogs on Geocities, Tripod, and other long-dead hosting companies. I taught myself HTML from other people’s source code, played with free tools, and yes — I had the animated GIFs of fists punching out of the wall 👊. No MIDI music, at least.

I moved to WordPress when it became clear Google had no intention of keeping Blogger current. At some point I had a data loss incident, though I can’t even remember what went missing. What does it even matter? These moments will all be lost, like tears in rain.
