About
Shhh. I’m trying to think.
Of all the blogs on all the sites in the world, you clicked on mine.
Rick Blaine’s digital twin, c. 2047
Re:Porter is where I write down what I notice and wonder about: teaching, learning, and what technology and AI might help, hinder or hurt in schools. Some pieces are short impressions; others linger a little longer. They sit somewhere between reflection and inquiry, shaped by what happens in my classroom, and they are written with curiosity rather than certainty.
I use these tools every day, and I’m wary of what they make easy.

How this site is made, for anyone who wants to look under the desk.
- Build
- An Astro static build.
- Content
- Sanity.
- Styles
- Hand-written CSS.
- Drawings
- Rough.js 4.6.6. Every drawing is kept as clean SVG and redrawn when the page loads, with fixed seeds, so it looks the same each time.
- Motion
- anime.js 4.
- Scrolling
- Smooth, on a desk-sized screen with a mouse. The footer switch turns it off, and with reduced motion it is never on.
- Type
- Literata for the page; Familjen Grotesk for the room’s objects.
- Colour
- One palette, Stendig, with a dark twin for when the lamp is on.
