I’m Richard Thames, and this site is my corner of the web. It is a personal wiki, weblog, and workshop — a place for notes, essays, ideas, and experiments.

Much of what appears here grows out of my long-running interests in personalized software, independent publishing, small web culture, product design, NES development, Emacs, podcasts, and a longstanding fascination with domain names.

In fact, tham.es is a domain hack of my surname, which I also use elsewhere online:

This is a personal site in the old sense — imagined, tooled, written, owned, and maintained by the same person. Some portions are mature, while others are still developing.

My Now Page describes what I’m focused on at the moment, and you can reach me via email at rich@rdtham.es or on the fediverse at @rich@rdtham.es.
