Hello. I’m Rob Stenson, a 21-year-old History of Architecture major at Columbia University, and in some of my spare time I work on websites for friends, like DJ Paradiddle. Some other times if I'm trying to learn something, I end up concocting odd internet experiments—all of which usually involve named colors, like “dodgerblue,” recognized by modern browsers.

“Blickwickle” is a made-up word derived from the German Blickwinkel which means something like ”perspective“ or something.
