hi

this first post is a bit of an explainer, but also a test run of the md.

with any luck, this site will be the equivalent of an old car i can tinker with.1

a catch all

this site will operate as a centralized hubs for things most people will probably not care for, but excited to commit things in my head to something more tangible. whether it be a business idea that will go nowhere, or a thought on a new philosophical principle i learned, i don’t have to think about where to put it anymore.

ongoing projects

it will also be a nice place to track my ongoing projects as well. with the baby coming, and a new house (🤯)2, there will be no shortage of projects. things i’m already considering in no priority or order:

house

  • nursery 👶
  • router and access points
  • bathroom vanity
  • car shopping3
  • home gym setup4

personal

  • this site (✅)
    • a place to practice web dev
  • build photography page
  • making some type of tangible object5
  • 40 books by the end of the year
  • get back to jogging

that’s it for now…

like all things, this will just build upon iteration, upon iteration, upon iteration. until the next log…

Footnotes

  1. to be honest, i’ll probably have an irl car to tinker with, too… but too many projects never hurt anyone… ↩

  2. katie and i found out we were pregnant at the end of last year, cascading into an obvious, but appropriately crazy set of events. ↩

  3. current car is too small for car seats and the like… for later —> how long should i keep this car as a beater? 🤔 ↩

  4. nothing fancy for now. to develop a list. ↩

  5. i watch too many videos on 3D printing and polymer clay to not make something ↩
