What I’m Doing Now

(Last updated 01/29/2026)

After a healing period much needed from an extended period of self-imposed overwork, I’m reemerging to take on more approved contract work and development. This is the real test of whether I can stay engaged without throwing myself in too far.

Also, I have found that travel (despite terrible weather) is much more agreeable when not trying to simultaneously trying to juggle work commitments, family life, and much, much more. Much better.

This writing is still in its infancy as I made a server where I got Pelican configured because I’m in looove with Python coding. (You have no idea.) Thus began a grand odyssey to make what you’re seeing now.

I wanted a very simple yet clean theme (a decision I keep revisiting) that I could update from even an iPad if I so desired. I worried that too many bells and whistles would distract me with making it all so pretty when I should actually be worried about the text on the screen. So I’m writing plain text (heck, even from my phone) and it all syncs and becomes the fancy static site that you see here.

So. Yeah. It’s here! 😉

Up Ahead

Building out many top secret projects. More on that to follow!

On a personal note, I’m also looking forward to connecting with many of the colleagues I’ve worked with over the years… If you’re reading this and feeling left out, well give me a shout!

Wait, What is This?

Hat tip to Derek Sivers for the idea of this “Now” page. This page, in theory, gives me a place to check in with the world and give an update. As Derek recommends, this should be as if I would be catching up with an old friend. 😀
