Hello, World!

Newbie 2.0

From 2005 to 2015 I published a personal blog way over yonder on WordPress. I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot in the process. Won friends. Influenced people. Eventually I hit a wall — writer’s block, family and work all got in the way — so my writing dwindled to a slow drip, and then stopped.

Now I’m finally feeling the urge to write again. All it took was an 8 year hiatus!

Why Substack? Well, I post from time to time on Twitter and LinkedIn, but neither work for longer-form content. And while WordPress is still a wonderful Swiss Army Knife for content of all sorts, I’d like to try something new. So here I am, kicking the tires on Substack.

As in the old days, I’m still a nerd. I like to make things, mostly with software. I’m fascinated by products, and businesses, and startups. So in this Substack I’m planning to return to my old stomping grounds and write mostly about those topics.

‘Nuff said. Let’s see how this goes.
