Thinking About Social Media
Is social media in any form really worth the drama, and was it doomed to failure from the start?
Breaking Things, Fixing Things
Matt continues to make iterative changes to his blog and I'm really enjoying following along.
Life is Really Shit Sometimes
I'm not really sure what to say about this one. I have no more words.
Switching Back to Jekyll & Building My Own CMS
After flip-flopping about what I'm going to do with this site, I decided to flip to Jekyll and build my own little CMS while I'm at it. Because why not? 🤷🏻♂️
Making Some Website Changes
I published a post about simplifying this site recently, I've made some changes, but I don't think I've simplified much.
Thinking About Simplification
This site’s a fun playground, but it’s evolved into a cluttered maze. Lately I’ve been wondering if it’s time to strip it down so I can focus on writing.
The Shed on the Drive 🛖
We have a brick shed on the drive that we've made into a playroom for the kids. Problem is, I use it more than them! 😂
💭 What Others Said...
I've been reading a lot about blog interactions, community echos, and manual Webmentions recently. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and roll my own.
New Watch Day
I've been trying to be more thoughtful with my watch purchases lately, and I'm so happy I have been, as this latest addition to my collection is just stunning.
Follow Up on Notes
I received a tonne of responses to my question about notes systems. I've also had a couple people email me asking for an update, as they're interested too. This is that update.
Finding a Home on the Fediverse

How Do You Take Notes?
I need a better way of organising my notes, to-dos and tasks. I have crap all over the place at the moment, so if you have a system, I'd love to know what it is.
A Month of Running
I haven’t run regularly in over 10 years. I’ve tried multiple times to get back into it, but it’s always fizzled out. This time feels different.
I Don't See the Point of Smartwatches
Yes, I love traditional watches. Guilty as charged. But even if I didn’t, I’d still think smartwatches are one of the dumbest tech trends out there.
A New Lick of Paint
So I've been playing around with a new design for this site for a couple of weeks now, and it's finally to the point where I think it's good to go live.
Out With Old Tech, In With the New
Swapped my MacBook for a Framework 13, iPhone for Pixel, left Fosstodon, joined Micro.blog, and canned Kagi & YouTube. Less noise, more life. Here's how it's going...
My Morning Walk
This post started life as a simple photo of a bridge for the Micro.blog photo challenge, but I ended up documenting the whole walk. Because, why not. 🤷🏻♂️
A Moment of Reflection
A moment of reflection during my early morning outage with the dogs (and cat) this morning. I'm so fortunate.
Doing a Jack Baty...?
I've been thinking about a changing some stuff up around here lately, but I'm on the fence as to what to do. You could say I'm doing a Jack Baty...
More Journal App Updates
I've been getting more into journaling lately, and as a result, I've continued to improve my little Journal app.
