hello, i'm Mika.

now

learning a little more about shell scripts, keeping a paper notebook again, and collecting albums that sound good on a rainy afternoon.

the ongoing experiment: make fewer things, finish a few more, and keep enough room for a walk.

away from the keyboard

slow mornings, homemade bread, second-hand books, and photographs of places that don't usually get photographed. sometimes the best part of a project is closing the laptop.
