Why this site exists
2026-05-14
Mostly so I can find things later. Also it's been a while since I had a personal site that wasn't a resume.
A lot of stuff happens in a year. I ship things at three companies, fly an old Beechcraft around the southeast, run a small flock of sheep, and pull wrenches on cars older than most of my coworkers. Every one of those produces logs already. Flight hours go in a notebook, commits go on GitHub, planting and lambing go in my head, what got fixed on the '72 goes on a clipboard in the garage. None of that is shared with anyone, which is fine, except that I forget things and there is nothing more annoying than knowing past me solved a problem that present me is now solving again.
So this site is mostly a way to put all of those logs in one place where I can find them later. The fact that other people can read them is a side effect. There is no plan to grow an audience or sell a course on shipping software while raising livestock. I am just trying to remember what I did and when.
If you stuck around long enough to read this part, the rest of the site is the feed. Updates land when they land. Filter by what you came for, ignore the rest.
