Today was messy. A massage, a cigar bar, a movie, some chips, and a whole lot of procrastination.
But now I’m here, upstairs, writing. Because I need to close some mental tabs.
This post isn’t a tutorial. It’s not a launch announcement. It’s a reset button.
I’ve been holding so many threads in my head—projects I want to build, experiments I want to run, content I want to share. And yet, decision fatigue kept me stuck.
So here’s where I am right now:
- Running Hugo on a seven-year-old Chromebook because I wanted to see if I could.
- Building a brand around Arkiteq, my identity as a writer, builder, and architect of systems.
- Exploring the balance between self-hosting everything and using the freemium cloud stack (Zoho, Workspace identity, etc.).
- Dreaming about portable homelabs, Proxmox servers, and how old hardware can still have purpose.
If that sounds like chaos—it is. But this space is where I make sense of it.
What to Expect Next
This blog is my digital studio. Expect posts on:
- How I run Hugo on ChromeOS
- Experiments with de-Googling (and why it’s harder than I thought)
- The projects I’m building in public—starting with Churn, a time-visualization tool
- Research notes on security, hosting strategies, and why architecture matters beyond code
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about documenting the build, the journey, the decisions.
If you’re reading this, welcome inside the workshop.
