Introducing "Moonquake"
There are three things you should know about my website:
- It's my one and only online presence — no socials, no self-promotional ads, and no side projects under pseudonyms. (If I make a side project, you'll hear about it here.)
- It's entirely independent with me as its sole operator — no assistants, no ghostwriters, no algorithms, and certainly no AI.
- It's an extension of me — as I advance through life, it too remains alive and ever-growing.
If you like me and what I do here, chances are you may want to stay up-to-date with things. If not, that's fine too. But if you are, I've come up with a simple solution that doesn't take much out of your time. Enter mailing lists.
That's right. I've decided to commit myself to crafting a monthly newsletter that tracks the past 30 days of all things site-related — along with some life miscellanea — and compiles the results in a neatly-packed electronic letter. But that's not all. On occasions, It will also serve as a two-way channel through which to discuss topics, share stories, and bounce off ideas.
The name? Moonquake. Why? One reason is phonetic; the other is a little more abstract than that. You see, I imagine my site as a little celestial body floating in an ever-expanding realm along with other rotating orbs. Once in a while — every 30 days or so — and as a result of stored energy being released from within, the surface trembles, causing eruptions and expanding the topography... Is the metaphor clear? I'm terraforming something, and this newsletter tracks that process — this month, the next, and forever.
So, when can you expect Moonquake in your inbox? On the 1st day of each month. And don't worry, if the letters ever get to you at a bad time and get lost in your inbox, I've prepared an archive where you can find them all, chronologically ordered. Alternatively, you can use the tag for a more visual browsing experience.
