Hello to the void. I've finally done it. Made a site to post my thoughts and some photos with no sharing, no obligation. The goal of this is to start formalising some of my thoughts into themes and seeing what emerges.
Several of the people I most admire tout the importance of journaling and putting your thoughts somewhere. This will be my outlet. I am a Data Scientist by trade. Well, I manage a Data Science team which isn't quite the same — although I'd like to get more stuck in on the actual doing of the work rather than the managing. I'm recently a first time dad (more to come on that for certain). I'm focused and interested in photography, music (both playing guitar/piano and listening) and am trying to keep on top of my health. The more time outside the better. Running, cycling, hiking, getting outside. Pounding weights in the gym definitely makes me look better, but there's something to be said about spending time outdoors when so much of my life is spent indoors and on screens — especially when dealing with a high-pressure and demanding job.
What can you expect from this page? Well I'm not quite sure at the moment. Definitely more posts about the above until I find my footing in what I feel is worth talking about. Hopefully some photos along the way. And finally my promise to the ether: never use AI to write content. That is the antithesis of what I'm trying to achieve here. That being said, I will use it to help me design and build the website — which is what I'm doing now through Claude.
It's currently 9:38pm (god knows how long it'll take me to get live), I've ignored my wife and child for far too long, and I'm due to move on to the many other things I need to do around this house — it's impressive how quickly two people and a baby can create chaos. Until next time.
