Graphics design is my passion

…in case you want to see more of it, there is a second version of this page where the background is animated. Be warned though: There is a lot of movement and it might be hard to look at for too long. It is also somewhat resource intensive to render for your browser. You can find the version with an animated background here.

The background was created in blender. Here are two interesting links that I found while working on it:

• IOR / Index of Refraction List - Pixel and Poly
• Rising bubbles beneath an inclined wall: From streams to plumes - Youtube

Maybe I will do a little write-up of the project some day.

In lieu of other content for my website, I compiled a gallery of CSS backgrounds that I created while doing the visuals.

This is where I link to my collections of links.

Hi! Im Daniel Mowitz (which is pronounced as: [ˈdɑnjəl mʊwɪts]). I live in Germany and currently study physics and occasionally write some code. Additionally, I dabble in philosophy, music, ham radio (my callsign is DK5MD) and whatever else interests me from day to day. I really enjoy things with “fortress” in their names as well as riding my bike. I am a white, cis man and use he/him/his pronouns. Here is a picture of me: If you want to reach me, just send an email to web.daniel@mowitz.rocks. If you so wish, you can use my PGP key to encrypt our conversations. You can also find me on Mastodon.

I may or may not roam around the internet using names that are not “Daniel Mowitz”. You may believe that you know me by one of these names. If that is the case, I kindly ask you to assume that that’s not me. If someone not using the name “Daniel Mowitz” linked you here, appreciate the time it must have taken them to find my homepage and thank them for sharing it with you.

This website is (as I’d like to believe obviously) inspired by the self-made homepages of the 90s and early 2000s. This “under construction” sign is a nod to an attitude of acknowledment that a website, like most things, is never properly finished that got lost somewhere along the way.

Boring implementation details

I publish this website by running a static site generator on my personal mashine and then using a hyperdrive to get the html (and all the other) files to the server that's hosting it for the internet. If you happen to be using a browser that somehow supports directly showing hyperdrive webpages or for some other reason want to get my page that way, here's the public key for the hyperdrive: d9127accb610d996debe2d988bd7016347f50bbdf7f5944acbbba2dcecfab87e.
