A personal publication / under feline supervision

Maybe you’ve
thought about
this too.

Notes about technology, getting older, making things, and adjusting when the world changes faster than expected.

Figuring out where AI is genuinely useful, rebuilding an old corner of the internet, and trying to stay curious. The cat is monitoring progress.

01 / Latest writing / paw-selected

Fresh from the notebook.

02 / What you’ll find here / choose a thread

Four threads. Nine lives.

01

Technology & AI

Tools that turn out to be useful, tried honestly and described the way they actually behaved. Fewer predictions about where all of this lands, and more notes on what helps today, what quietly gets in the way, and which decisions still belong to the person doing the work.

02

Building & Learning

Websites, systems, and the lessons that only show up once the work is actually underway. Notes from building things in order to understand them, including the detours, the rewrites, and the small early decisions that seemed unimportant right up until they were the whole problem.

03

Life in Progress

Getting older, changing direction, and staying curious about both. Essays on what shifts with time and what stubbornly refuses to, written from somewhere in the middle of it all rather than from the far side. Tidy conclusions are not on offer here, mostly because none have arrived yet.

04

Then & Now

Looking at today’s internet from both sides of it, having used the earlier one. Pieces about what the web felt like before everything became content, what genuinely improved since, and what was quietly lost along the way. Nostalgia is welcome here, but it does not get the final word.

03 / About / the human

I’ve been online
for a while.

I grew up before the internet, built websites when blogs were new, and somehow arrived in the age of AI.

This is where I make sense of technology, life, and whatever comes next, one honest note at a time. My editor occasionally sits on the keyboard.

Something on your mind? The cat is listening.
