-as a side project itself of course, this website is itself a work in progress. until such time that it is, i might direct instead you to my <a href="https://ktyl.itch.io/">itch.io</a> to see my games as well as my <a href="https://github.com/ktyldev/">github</a> and <a href="https://gitlab.com/ktyldev/">gitlab</a> to see my public code. 
+by night, i create. often it's <a href="https://ktyl.itch.io/">games</a> or <a href="https://github.com/ktyldev/">code</a>, but i am also interested in photography, writing, drawing, and making music. this website is to share those things. i'm working on building it out at the moment, so for now please just enjoy some things i've made in the <a href="gallery.html">gallery</a>!
