This is the personal website of Dashiell Dunn, a South Australian student with an interest in technology, design, words, music, and serial commas.
Technology is awesome. That’s not to say nature doesn’t have its charms, but it’s just not as good. For example, there is no natural equivalent of Python. Well, there is, but it’s a completely different thing.
Designing things and admiring things that are well designed are both activities I enjoy. The latter is easier. Since computers are my thing, one of my main design outlets is web design; this website is an example (though perhaps not the best example because of various constraints).
Words are good, and I like both reading and writing. When I was younger I read a lot—initially non-fiction, then I got into reading novels—but these days I don’t read many books at all. Wikipedia, however, takes up plenty of my time.
Music is something I like listening to, owning, and composing.
Serial commas tend to reduce ambiguity (more often than not) and generally improve sentence flow. I advocate their use.
P.S. I’m politically centre-left with a particular interest in (and disdain for the use of) intellectual property rights.
