It's been a while since I posted something. About a year ago, I resolved to write at least 250 words every day, and I have been relatively diligent in those efforts. I am now ready to start sharing again.

I directed most of my creative energy at my startup jobs for the past five years. I enjoy programming. It's different from practicing law or attempting to make games. When it's good, I find myself in the flow state for hours every day, losing myself in the work. I continue to animate pixels on screens, they're only different pixels used for different purposes than when I was making games.

With work and family, I have had less time for hobbies. My writing and particularly my drawing has fallen by the wayside. I miss this. Particularly the posting online, which requires editing passes and additional thought. I decided to post again in my little hidey-hole, where I can put words on electrons with no fear that anyone will read them.

As you can tell by the new decor, I freshened up this place. "Freshen" is probably the wrong word. It seems darker, more quiet, even contemplative. I hope you enjoy the redesign. I admit I used a bit of ai to speed up the coding. I use ai heavily at work, which significantly changed my job. Thankfully, the creative and product-y parts of my job are the same, and it turns out that's what I always liked about coding.

I plan to continue my art. I am leaning toward more computer art, where the scenes are animated via code. I hope it will connect my two passions of writing and doodling, and hopefully give me a platform to creatively explore my philosophy.
