No longer.

I’ve got a lot to say after the past 7 years, it’s been quite a journey:

• 2 major burnouts. Chronic fatigue syndrome, an ambulance, a long road to recovery.
• Hung up my author-hat and set about surviving; and back to software engineering.
• Built and sold another software company (Zero BS CRM to Automattic).
• Worked at Automattic for 3 years; learned a lot.
• Refurbished a whole house, mostly by hand, DIY.
• Went from panic attacks daily to freedom from them.
• Purchased 37 acres of land to grow more trees on.
• Took a year long sabbatical and built a cabin in the woods.
• Got solidly into making things with my hands.
• Now, finally, picking back up the keyboard and making digital things again; writing here.

It’s been a long time, internet; now let’s get to making cool shit.
