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...

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

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

What Kinda Blogs Do You Read?
I was wondering what kinda things you, dear reader, like to read online?
What We Lost with PHP and jQuery
A look back at the simpler days of PHP and jQuery, when building websites was fast and easy. Now, modern tools often add more hassle than help—sometimes less really is more.
Putting Your Eggs in One Basket
I was reading a post the other day about how someone would struggle to move away from Apple as they're all in with them. I can understand this, as it nearly happened to me too.
