Hey there, I'm Josh Millard.
I'm an artist and weird internet person in Portland, OR. Hibernating musician, ideological grouch about the corporatization of the internet, fractal obsessive, walking cluster of anxiety and ADHD and general neurological divergence.
Right now I'm trying to build a new website and blog with a static site generator, 11ty. Work in progress.
web stuff
- For a bunch of years I worked at and then ran and owned the long-standing community website MetaFilter. I passed that on in 2022, and am back to being lurker and occasional poster. I go by cortex there, and in some other places. Otherwise I mostly just go by "Josh Millard", or joshmillard, or suchlike.
- I make a lot of visual art. I have finished oil paintings, watercolors, plotter drawings, etc. up at art.joshmillard.com, which at any given time is probably fairly out of date but has good hi-res images all in one place.
- I have linocut prints and plotter drawings up for sale on my CortexCraftworks etsy store.
- I also make music, sometimes; I also make tiny video games and art games, sometimes.
social media
- Primary account for a while now is on Mastodon - [https://mastodon.social/@joshmillard]
- I have a dormant Instagram I'm aiming to nix, @josh_cortex_millard
- I have a badly neglected Patreon account
- I still have, strictly speaking, a twitter account @joshmillard; I walked away a long while ago. Fuck Elon Musk et al. Gotta work out archive and shutter it properly.
- I spend a lot of time on the Today in Tabs discord; I've been enjoying Music League; I miss Blaseball.
missing stuff
I used to blog a lot and for years had a lot more stuff online; here's what happened there. If you want me to dig something up, you can always ask and I'll see what I can manage.
You can email me at josh@joshmillard.com if you like.
