About

Maple Notes is a personal site kept by a reader who walks more than is strictly necessary and writes down what would otherwise slip away.

The name comes from a maple that stands outside the kitchen window. In autumn it does most of the talking; the rest of the year it is simply there, which is also a kind of company.

What you will find

Short notes, published irregularly. There is no newsletter, no comment thread, and no intention to grow an audience. If a piece is useful to someone passing through, that is enough.

Colophon

The site is made of ordinary HTML and CSS. It is meant to be readable on a phone or at a desk, in a quiet room, without asking much of you.
