Hello, World!

Starting a blog in 2024? What a concept!

There’s always something I want to talk about and wanted to place where I could control my own content. With the recent decay of publishing and social media platforms and the enshittification of the Internet, I wanted to provide meaningful content on my own terms and share links through the various social networks.

This is not the first time I have a blog. In the past I’ve posted on Blogspot, had a Medium post that I never published (about my favorite films of the 2010s,) and a long, long, time ago I even had a LiveJournal.

In this new blog, I plan to post about a number of topics, including:

• Programming
• Productivity tips
• Special interests (Oh, I have ton of those…)
• Reviews (product, services, comics, and games)
• Life updates (trips, photos, etc.)
• Job and project updates

I can also a bit of a scatterbrain when writing. I have accepted that, and I hope readers don’t mind. Maybe I’ll get better at it as I write more.

While I could build this site from scratch, I didn’t want to spend a lot of time getting the site ready and decided to use Hugo with a template (Paper). I’m still customizing the template and will be making improvements over time. There is no commenting enabled at the moment, but you can send me a message over in one of the platforms I’m on.
