about arts & ego

Hi! My name is dylan harris. Welcome to arts & ego, my personal website. Please do mosey about, there’s tons of stuff here. It’s mostly mine — anything else is acknowledged.

The images were generally made by pointing a Nikon D300 (previously a Pentax ME Super) and pressing a button, often at the same time. I’ve used various pocket cameras, too. The results were tarted with Aperture (RIP) & DxO, sometimes transmogrified by Studio Artist.

I once used Sonic Foundry’s Sound Forge 4.5 Pro (under Windows 98) to tidy the music and podcasts, but never settled on a replacement: all the alternatives seemed adequate, none exciting.

Poetry and prose need only pen and paper. Neither need an app, so I’m naming none.

My inner geek is pointlessly proud that arts & ego is a static site, hand–coded in HTML and CSS. It was originally written with Notepad, as per a certain tradition, but is now edited with xCode, vi, and the gratchy sed.

My original website, xenakis, went online in 1996. This site, arts & ego, was created in 2002. Until 2018, it was reliably hosted on Powweb. Since then, it has been unreliably hosted at home. As an apology, here’s two decades of front pages.

For the record, I don’t knowingly share information collected from selling books, CDs, and other goodies, except as necessary to get stuff to the customer — see my terms & conditions for the details.
