Opened a door

There's a door in the footer of spec.cafe. A small brass one. If you found it — noticed it, hovered over it, watched it swing slightly open, clicked through — this is what's on the other side.

This is the kitchen. The café is where the finished things live: the articles, the experiments, the stories. This is where they get made. Or half-made. Or abandoned on the counter while something else catches my attention.

I've wanted this space for a while. A place for the smaller things — the things that don't need to be polished into an essay or built into an experiment. A development log entry. A note on something I played. A thought that arrived and needed somewhere to go.

The only rule here is dates. Everything gets one. That's the whole structure — time, and what happened in it.

Expect ingredients on the counter.
