About Me

I've been experimenting with building, growing, and monetizing websites for nearly two decades. Over the years, I've experienced many ups and downs. It's really been a rollercoaster ride.

I discuss my experiments in website monetization, including the things that work and, more importantly, the things that don't work.

Whether you're just starting or you’ve been at this for a while, there's something here for everyone.

Major Setback – Last Health Update

Major Setback – Last Health Update

I started a series in which I planned to post updates related to addressing my poor state of health. I’ve decided that I will no longer post health updates.

Setup A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

Setup A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

I often find myself … Continue reading Setup A Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

Going Full-time as a Work from Home Employee

The office I work out of is running out of space. A few weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to give up my desk to become a full-time remote employee.

Make Money Online: Documenting 10 Years of Failure

Make Money Online: Documenting 10 Years of Failure

This is the history of my experience trying to make money online over the past 10 years or so. This is by far the longest post I’ve ever personally written and it’s more of an autobiography than a blog post. I feel like I need to purge some of this stuff from my head so … Continue reading Make Money Online: Documenting 10 Years of Failure

Hello world!

Wow, it’s been a few years since I’ve actually blogged regularly. To the point that I actually killed my old blog and don’t think it would be valuable to revive it. So I’m starting from scratch, again. If you came here looking for an old post that was linked to I apologize but they are … Continue reading Hello world!
