What is a Conoga?

I am a 22 year old dude hailing from Oregon.

This site stands as a portfolio for the programs I write and as my place on the internet. It's been a pretty fun art project. I started getting into HTML and CSS in early 2021, which resulted in this site. I'm pretty sure that my style has been influenced by websites and games that stood out to me as a kid or something.

When this site started out, it was wrapped in this lore where Conoga was a scientific research group that was interpreting data/message signals from a space anomaly near the moon. It was as bad as it sounds, and I didn't really like pretending to be a fictional organization. I really wanted to make something more personal, which has lead to the site transforming into what it is today.

The name "Conoga" is the only remaining part of the old site and its fiction. It stands for COmmunication (with the) aNOmaly GAmes. A stretch for sure, but I really liked how "Conoga" looked and sounded, so I made it work. Not to be confused with Canoga park in California (A place that I had no idea existed).

More about me

Here are some more detailed pages that are dedicated to some of the things that I like.

What does a Conoga do?

Digitally, I'm usually gaming, programming, making pixel art, tuning into YouTube, and surfing Neocities.

In the physical world, when I'm not working, I can be found thrifting, getting into alcoholic brawls (smash ultimate), road-tripping, and messing with electronics.

Some of my escapades include exploring thrifted floppies, watching old TV recordings on VHS, and cramming a small PC fan into a GameCube (Because I'm a cheap-ass; didn't want to buy an OEM replacement fan).
