This is my website.

I learned some basic HTML in the mid2000s. In 2025, I am currently enjoying reviewing some old knowledge and learning a few new things.

I've written all of the HTML myself. No WYSIWYG. But I have "cheated" a little bit and used simple.css to make this site look a little prettier with minimal effort on my part. I'm comfortable with basic HTML. I'm still mostly afraid of CSS.

This website is going to be my new "homebase" online. I'll continue to update parts of this website and I'll usually link to things I'm doing elsewhere.

My primary new method of sharing "content" will be through my micro.blog. I'm enjoying tinkering with this website (and I'll continue to do so!) but I think I need something more dynamic than a static website for everyday impulse sharing. It has been a long time (relatively) since I've been active on Twitter or Facebook or anything like it. I think it will be fun to have an outlet for posting whatever I want without any concern for any sort of audience. My wife and a small handful of people know that I'm here doing this. If I reach anyone else with this, it will have been entirely by accident!

I'm also slowly de-googling every aspect of my life. My new personal email account is through Posteo. I thought about just using my work account for everything, but figured that it's a good idea to still have an independent personal email address.

This page, like everything on this website, will be updated semi-regularly. Keep scrolling down the page to find more things.

I still haven't purchased my own domain name. Maybe soon? I'm still not convinced that I want a PERMANENT place of my own on the web. Part of me likes hopping around. Part of me likes having all sorts of disconnected parts of myself existing discreetly in different places online. Do I actually want to connect them all? I don't know.
