About This Site
I write about a lot of things here but I focus on productivity, technology, good paper and analog tools and even a little bit about my personal life. Basically, if it is something that interests me I post about it.
The site design is original and built from the ground up using inspiration derived from many sources. There is no template you can download to use for your own site. The "look and feel" of my site is part of anĀ overall personal branding. I think that in our ever more connected and public world, developing a "personal brand" is all the more important and this website reflects that idea.
I invite you to stay a while and take a look around. New folks may want to start with the "popular" category which highlights some of the most active posts.
