Most blogs treat guest contributors like a content strategy. This one treated it like an experiment. Those are not the same thing, and the difference is worth talking about.

The internet is full of content optimized for crawlers and keyword density. This is something else, and the difference is worth saying out loud.

Every blog has an origin story. Most of them are boring. Mine involves a dead dog, a late diagnosis, and approximately forty-three unfinished projects.

Content strategy is about controlling the signal. Writing about what actually matters to you is about not being able to help yourself. One of those produces something worth reading.

Two years in, this blog still resists easy description. That used to bother me. Now I think it’s the most honest thing about it.

Solo blogs have blind spots. This one just got a second set of eyes, and they’re not here to be polite about it.
