Now

This is a now page.

I’m starting to get used to living in Bend, Oregon after we moved here from Texas a few years ago.

I’m sustaining myself with paid client work while I explore writing, different kinds of web development, and generally reaching out and following people and chasing whatever seems interesting.

I love the personal, self-hosted, independent internet of people being creative and inventive and social and weird. I’m tired of big companies and big platforms. I want to figure out how to fight for and nurture the former, even though the jobs seem concentrated around the latter.

I just finished a daily February blogging challenge on that topic, which was personally satisfying and exhausting.

I want to find my place, or get away from it all and figure out how to help people and earn a living without the internet playing a central role.
