August 6th, 2025

Starting this morning earlier than usual. Adjusting to this new sleep schedule. Arrived at the hospital at 3:30 a.m. to start my work day. Went into the gym to do a twenty-minute workout.

Walked into the office and there was a new Lenovo ThinkPad waiting for me. I’ll spend the day turning this laptop into my main work computer. Should simplify my process and help my workflow be more mobile. Especially on the days I’ll work from home.

It’s now 8:00 a.m. and I just returned home with the family until lunch. Almost time to get ready for Elijah’s first doctor’s appointment.

First Ten Newsletters

I spent the last 24 hours backdating older posts on the website. From the homepage, you can scroll down to the bottom and it’ll load up another batch of posts.

Just getting started, but so far, I have the first ten newsletters broken up into their own individual posts. This allows all those ideas to live on their own and have their own little page. And thanks to tags, I’ll be able to connect all the topics together in one place. Feels good to give older writings a home again.

My Laboratory

I decided to build a new website to tell stories again—a place where the smallest ideas or the biggest ones can live. Time is much more limited for me now, so being efficient with that time is critical.

I need a foundation for everything I share online. Whether it’s photos, videos, playlists, books, music, video games, podcasts, or productivity advice, I need a home that’s prepared for it all.

The online world and social media are worse than they’ve ever been, and even at their best, you’re still spread across a dozen locations. That’s where having your own home on the internet comes in: a website that ties it all together. A central hub for everything you share.

This is my laboratory.

Nesting

The last time I was creating was when we first found out we were expecting twins. I stopped building for a while. Reflecting back now, it was probably a season of nesting for me. But now that they’re here and healthy, I’m getting the itch to create again.

I have several ideas on what to do next. I could’ve worked on these separate from the site, and even in private like I’ve been doing the last few months, but it felt right to have my website back to normal, as a laboratory for all the ideas. I look forward to documenting my life again, in new and creative ways.

Backdating

As I rebuild this blog, I plan to slowly go through all my old content and find ways to add it back to the site. Anything older than this post, was added back after the fact.

(This was written August 4th, but added to the day before my first post for the new site.)
