I’m Chad Calease & I was living & working in Seattle, Washington, USA in the late 90s when I built this site from scratch. It was austere but great for keeping artifacts, mostly stories about people, ideas, & technology.

It started life as my connection to family, friends, & clients while I was living & working in far-flung places, before social media.

It continues to evolve, hopefully into a useful trail that helps someone find their way back to whatever they were doing before getting tangled in the ‘Net.
