About

Hello! My name is Chris Zarate and this is my site without a name.

“Poor slob,” she said, tickling his head, “poor slob without a name. It’s a little inconvenient, his not having a name. But I haven’t any right to give him one: he’ll have to wait until he belongs to somebody. Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Here, I write about what I’ve been reading and listening to and thinking about and watching and doing. Sometimes I post things without comment, just to record that I liked it or found it interesting. But I usually try to pick out something that grabbed at my brain.

All photos are mine unless credited otherwise. They might be from today or last week or ten years ago; I love taking photos but I’m a terrible editor and a worse curator.

During the day I write code, but I promise not to talk very much about that. I’m not on social media. If you’d like to say something, you can email me at chris@zarate.org.
