Creating this personal website
I’ve had a personal website since the early 2000s, but for as long as I can remember, it’s always been a WordPress site. Recently, while experimenting with Claude Code, I decided it was time for a fresh start — and a little digital archaeology. Somewhere deep in the corners of the internet, my old blog posts still existed, preserved only through archive.org. I went back, scraped what I could find, and brought those hilariously outdated posts back to life — skeletal, rough around the edges, but still mine. This time, though, I built everything from scratch. No content management system, no WordPress, no plugins. Just code and curiosity. The new site isn’t about gaining readership or optimizing for traffic. It’s simply a public space to collect and share the projects I’m working on — a way to make things feel a bit more real by putting them out into the world.
