Nah, just kidding. I'm glad you're here. Instead of getting this site from a CDN somewhere near you, you're now downloading each of these files from a server right here in my home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've been working for several months now to minimize my personal data footprint on the corporate-controlled walled gardens of the internet, and I've made quite a bit of progress. This site was a particularly embarrassing piece of my online footprint that I wasn't yet hosting myself. I'm super happy with the system I have set up right now, and I may take the time to write up an article about it at some point. In the meantime, welcome to my home!
In my previous update, I posted my long-promised opinions on [how to enjoy video games in 2025](/blog/how-to-enjoy-video-games-in-2025). I welcome kind replies on Mastodon. ("Kind" doesn't mean you have to agree, but please be respectful. Thanks!) I hope it's helpful to someone or at least reinforces what you're already doing.
