Working Drafts is the Wax Era blog, written by Matt Flowers.

Liner notes for what I'm making, what I'm reading, and the many small things that keep me curious.

Fields & Courts The art of fielding. Sports branding, uniforms, moments, and the strange beauty of games.
Worth Repeating Lines, quotes, and borrowed wisdom.

Friendly Machines Tools and gadgets that make my digital life a little brighter, stranger, or easier.
User Error Software gripes, AI experiments, and moments that are too close to the machine.
