My Thoughts

Such as they are
  • Going Jamstack

    I have a couple of recent goals with my website. One, I'd like the hosting to be free (or very low cost). Two, I'd like to actually write and share more content. The latter of those two requires me to actually write stuff that is good, which is easier said than done. The former, well, that's more straighforward.

  • New Site, New CMS

    My old site served me well, but it was well past time to make some updates, add some new content, and engage with some new technology

  • Embracing Constraint
