I was going to write a whole big thing here about what I've been up to lately, but then I decided not to. For a while, I was using Cohost as a de facto blog. Then Cohost shut down on October 1st. Then a few days later, my employer suffered a cyberattack that became national news. Then I think we all know what happened next...

I've wanted a new blog since October. I've thought about how much I wanted a new outlet for writing a lot. And yet, here we are in July, and I'm just putting up the barest of placeholders. I've tried to write a bit via other means when I can, mostly via Backloggd reviews. But I've definitely missed the freedom to do long-form writing outside of the constraints of single game reviews. And yet... it's taken a lot of time to find the energy to even get started.

I don't really have any concrete plans for where I'm going with this blog. Probably some stuff about games. Probably some stuff about neat things you can do on the computer. Maybe some other things. I don't have a timeline or a cadence or anything planned out. I'm just going to keep working on this, slowly, in the hope that making it better over time inspires a virtuous cycle.

This all strikes a bit of a downbeat note, and yet... I have no shortage of topics that I'm excited to write about. Just having this here is going to help me a lot to get over the hump of turning ideas and inspiration into that greatest of achievements... the blog post. But please be patient... I'm still under construction. 🚧
