The inevitable details about [ emps ]

The wanderer is Philippe Wittenbergh, image poet, wanderer, (web) designer, image creator. He is currently living in the eastern part of the world, timezones ahead of most people, surrounded by a decrepit tea field, a cat, a partner and some more.

More details might show up one day. Did I mention he loves Jazz, avant-garde music and books? Fine wine and some beers should not be forgotten.

Some claims to fame: [ Images ] – poetic introspections. A book has been written, but not published. When otherwise not busy, he also contributes to a number of open-source projects (such as the now defunct Camino browser and Textpattern – a CMS). And on some past, more pervert days, he maintained the IE Mac bugs and oddities pages (this resource has been deleted with status 410).
