Hey, welcome to my blog.

This is where I share my thoughts on things I'm curious about.

I try to post every 2-4 weeks on something that's been on my mind lately. I really appreciate any feedback from "what you've said is factually incorrect" to "you have a typo heer". Just use email link at bottom.

For those who have read a couple of my posts and asked whether I have a RSS feed or Substack, that is very flattering but I'm just writing to build my own habit for now. Once I've written a few more posts I'll see how easy it is to add an RSS with Webflow.
