+# website
+
+My personal website. It had to be rebuilt. So I did. It clocks in at a whopping 1.4kb, unminified,
+if you disregard the font. It's small and simple and very different from what once was. And that's
+good.
+
+Regarding licensing, do with it as you please. Be my guest. No trade secrets. Really.
+
+Also, I don't think it's responsive. Oh well.
