Introducing Moonquake: A Newsletter on Life and Projects
There are three things you should know about my website:
- It's where the majority of my online presence is — no other platform comes close to it.
- It's entirely independent, with me as its sole operator — no ads, no assistants, 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 the bloke behind these words and what he does here, chances are you want to stay up-to-date with his shenanigans. If you are, I've come up with a catch-all solution that is not only informative but also entertaining — I hope?
Yes, I hereby commit myself to crafting a monthly newsletter that tracks the past 30 days of all things Dazé-related (life, projects, wins, failures, rants — anything goes), and compiles the results in a neatly packed electronic letter. (I say monthly, but that could change in the future.)
Additionally, I envision it serving as a two-way channel through which to discuss topics, share stories, and bounce off project ideas. Of course, that won't happen until the subscriber count screeches up from zero.
I'm calling it Moonquake. One reason is phonetics — I like the way it sounds. The other reason is a little more … abstract.
You see, I imagine my site as a humble celestial body floating in an ever-expanding realm accompanied by other spheres. Once in a while (every 30 days or so), as a result of stored energy being released from within, the surface trembles, causing eruptions and scaling the planet's topography.
… If that metaphor didn't quite land on your cognitive runway, I'm terraforming something special, and this newsletter tracks that process — now, tomorrow, until the inevitable.
So, when can you expect it in your inbox? A new issue of Moonquake releases on the 1st day of each month. And if the letters ever catch you at a bad time, 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.)

I'm also starting another newsletter named Earthshine — explained here.
