Now Update: February 2025

It’s been a week since I launched my new site on Ghost, and I’m still deep in the process of moving everything over from WordPress (10+ years of content), and I’ve been trying to focus on what matters instead of getting lost in the weeds.

The site is live, though, and most of my digital products are up. Still working on the rest. Ghost is great, but has its quirks. I’m figuring it out. I even added some new templates for books and products, which makes things feel more organized.

I also set up a Now page, which is where you’re reading this. Just a simple space for quick updates and thoughts, without the pressure of turning everything into a big polished post. Oh, and I sent out my first newsletter from the new setup, which felt like a nice little milestone.

Outside of all that, Cara and I just celebrated six years together. Nothing fancy, just some pizza, synth documentaries, and good vibes.

Lately, I’ve been reading Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck and Quantum Hillbilly by Renee Garcia. Both have been giving me a lot to think about, in very different ways. Watching some stuff like Chimp Crazy (which we loved), The Tale with Laura Dern, Eden Lake, Speak No Evil, and a bunch of other stuff. Some unsettling, some just fascinating. Also listening to a lot of dungeon synth and liminal ambient and the slowed and reverb chrome extension.

Speaking of synths, I’m thinking about finally getting one. Cara’s been loving her Korg Minilogue XD, and I keep coming back to the Arturia Minifreak. I want something that makes me excited to play again, without immediately thinking about "producing" or finishing a track.

Other than that, I’m still chipping away at migrating my shop, adding a Tools page, and improving things for paid members. But I’m trying not to get too caught up in only working. We’ll see how that goes.
