# alexanderwhitestone.com # The Wizard's Tower
Public-facing interface for Timmy — AlexanderWhitestone.com **AlexanderWhitestone.com** — two rooms, nothing else.
## Rooms
- **The Workshop** (`/world/`) — A 3D space where Timmy lives. Visitors enter and interact.
- **The Scrolls** (`/blog/`) — Alexander's words. Plain text, RSS, sovereign publishing.
## Structure
```
index.html Entry hall — two doors
world/ The Workshop (3D scene, Timmy presence)
blog/ The Scrolls (posts, RSS feed)
scripts/ CLI tools (aw-post for quick publishing)
static/ Shared assets (fonts, favicon)
Makefile Build, dev, deploy
```
## Development
```bash
make dev # Local dev server on :8080
make build # Build static site
make deploy # Deploy (configure target in Makefile)
```
## Tech Decisions (Open)
- [ ] 3D engine: Three.js vs Babylon.js
- [ ] Blog: Hugo vs hand-rolled static generator
- [ ] Hosting: self-hosted Nginx/Caddy vs static CDN
- [ ] Timmy's 3D character design
## Philosophy
Two doors. No navbar. No sidebar. No footer links. You walk in, you choose a room.
The Workshop is alive. The Scrolls are permanent. That's the Tower.
