About

I created this website to highlight what I am working on, share things I have learned, and to serve as a testament to the type of Internet I believe in—that is, a slower, simpler collection of sites written and hosted by people for the purpose of sharing useful information. It can be entertaining, and I do not see why it cannot build atop existing friendships. But as an omnipresent dopamine drip and parasocial relationship protocol, the Internet creates more problems than it is worth. My solution is to simply revert back to an older format, which is now easier than ever with HTML 5, user-friendly VPS services, and static site generators.

In short, I believe that the Internet should be a reference tool for facilitating life in the real world, and never the other way around.

As to what I do in the real world, when I am not working my day job or running around after my children, my passions include homesteading, tinkering, and writing fiction. My first novel, whose working title is The Last Bishop, is now in the editing stage.

Thank you for visiting, and I wish you the best with your own passion projects and web 1.0-style sites.
