A page dedicated to what's going on in my life. Stuff I probably used to tweet about and now ramble in my journal and inside Discord servers.
Inspired by the likes of Stephen Hackett, Robb Knight, and my pal Peter Spezia's old tradition of updating his Twitter banner with the game he was currently playing.

- Last week was good. I spent my time building a new app and helping build my wife's tutoring business into something richer in the future. It's nice to have projects to sink your teeth into and have a clear road ahead.
- That app I am working on is a gameplay recording app to replace OBS in my life. Very much the same line of thinking as why I built DDDS. Sure, the options out there work and are free, but the potential left on the table or the support for macOS is less than the other desktop operating systems. It's been an exciting week.
- This week Pokémon Bank's end of life was announced and I wrote a more robust piece than I intended for it. I need to get on to making all my trades up into the modern era in a prompt fashion.
- Draft No. 4 has quickly entered the Max Books on Writing Hall of Fame. I'll buy my own copy someday soon. Tons of good stuff.
- I've been trying out new systems and ideas, like carrying my Field Notes notebook everywhere instead of just at my desk. It has been a huge help to have a non-digital quick capture system.
- I have a very exciting guest lined up for The Max Frequency Podcast next week. Can't wait to get this one into your ears.
