I don't remember if I've mentioned this or not on the blog, and it's relevant to this post, so I'll say it again just in case.

I posted this in Slack at work on Friday and I'm feeling it today, so you're getting it too.

Back in January, not long after I moved this blog, I wrote up my post about my intentions for 2026.

I woke up early, and there must have been something a little extra in my coffee this morning because I decided that today was the day that Claude Code and I would redesign my blog.

I rage quit LinkedIn about a week ago in a post about the whole Moltbook nonsense.

This made me cry in my coffee.

This blog is almost twenty six years old (here's the first post from July of 2000).

I have a draft post all about 2025, but you know what?

The layoffs in tech continue unabated.

What is the cost of lies?

I wrote this as my farewell in Slack, and wanted to keep it, so it's turning into a blog post!

This was originally published on the Creative Coast's (now Startup Savannah) blog way back in 2016.

My nonsensical House rep, Buddy Carter, filed a bill to rename Greenland to "Red, White and Blueland."

2024 was a lot of things, a lot of them not so great.

Automattic, the owner of both Tumblr and Wordpress, admitted that they're working with AI companies to sell their users' creations to help train AI models.

I am apparently not in the musical consumption mainstream.

I don't know if you watched Carl Sagan as a kid, but a friend shared this poem, and I was instantly transported back to watching him tell me I was made of star stuff when I was 6.

Between writing a blog post almost every day and going back to the beginning of this blog and re-reading stuff I wrote over twenty years ago, it's been a bloggy month over here!

I've played product manager more often this year than I have in years.
