Welcome to my blog.

In late 2022, I posted on my Medium site that I intended to start blogging again.

Incidentally, that was the last time I posted to my Medium site.

In my defense, I got busy. I spent most of 2023 growing a human and keeping him alive is a major commitment. I did keep a pregnancy journal, which I updated diligently … on paper.

I had a personal website from 1997 or so until the mid-2010s, when it stopped being fun. My job (when I have one, that is — more on that later, I’m sure) is putting words on the internet. Every time I get the desire to build something for myself, my mind goes into strategy mode and I can’t turn it off. When I decided to finally use this domain I’ve owned for four years, I initially installed Drupal — Drupal! for a basic lil’ blog! — because I thought it’d be nice to brush up my skills.

What to expect

Honestly, nothing. This might be the last time I post here.

What I intend

I plan to post at least once a week. Nothing controversial, just what I’m thinking about. Something funny my kid did. Something I noticed on a run. Travel stories. Just blogs like in the olden days, before everything became commodified capital-c Content. If you see it, I hope you enjoy it.
