I updated my bio (the words at the top of every page) and my about page. See the changelog for more details, or just check them out!
I just found out that UDisc Community was released a couple weeks ago. I’ve been waiting for this feature for years!
Here’s an invite link if you have the app but don’t have access to Community yet, and here’s my profile if you want to see how I’m playing!
Mikenna and Josh's Wedding
It’s the beautiful easing into dawn as I write. I’m sitting in a rocking chair on the chapel deck, overlooking one of New York’s finger lakes. In the middle of the quiet and solitude, a speedboat just ripped across the lake as I finished that last sentence. It’s 6:50 a.m. I was up at 5:00, woken by my daughter crying. My back hurts and my neck aches from sleeping on the hard wooden bunk bed of the camp cabin we’re staying in.
A moment of silence for the people on low-carb diets…
So cool… Saving this to try out on my blog later. Matt Webb has “collaborative cursors” on his blog, so you can see other visitors' cursors and chat with people who are currently on the same page. I love that he hangs out on his home page and says “hi” to people sometimes.
Is it better to be a cowardly lion or a brave chicken?
My favorite doctor appointments are the ones where I wait forever, then the doctor comes in and says “After looking at your file, we can’t do anything until we run some tests. Schedule those and come back later”. /sigh
Indie Hacking
I have a tendency to be consumed by a niche interest or hobby every now and then. In the past it’s been disc golf, counter strike, yo-yoing, hot sauces, coffee, apologetics, and even card magic. Now I’m introducing the latest interest that my free-time has fallen victim to: indie hacking.
What is Indie Hacking? Despite having “hacking” in the name, indie hacking is not nearly as nefarious as it seems. It does not involve late night attempts to crack the access code to a terminal while 80s synth wave music surges in the background.
Using Tiny Theme Microhooks to make your homepage display a reverse chronological list of long-form articles, grouped by year
I’ve been feeling like my home page wasn’t what I really wanted people’s first experience with my blog to be. I want people to be able to get a high-level overview of what I write about and what my interests are. I admire other blogs that just have a list of long-form articles, so I decided to update my home page to work similarly.

This seemed like it really hit the nail on the head. An insightful look at how “therapy culture” is imitating religion, but falling short.
