About

I mostly write about being a data professional.

But that can get boring, so I also write about data-adjacent stuff, like people.

But people can also get pretty boring. So I’ll also write about the rest of the things, like the organization of the mind, the nature of knowledge, and children’s literature.

If you demand consistency from your newsletters, please don’t subscribe. You will not like it here. I will not publish on a predictable cadence.1 I will not finish topical series.2 I will not write useful things that will benefit your career.3

Homelab

Well, sometimes, I’ll aim for consistency. For the 2024-25 school year, I’m publishing a series on my family’s foray into homeschooling. I plan to a post per month — some educational commentary and recent curriculum — in the Homelab section.

Some of the content in this section will only be available to paid subscribers. If you’re interested but can’t spare the cash, send me a DM and I’ll comp it for you.

Symposia

Occasionally I host symposia, where I publish essays from readers around a specified topic. If you have a great idea you want to share for the next symposium, you can reach out via email. If you want to get a sense of what one is like, check out:

About me
