Last week I revived my blog with my first post in two years and boy did that feel great. I feel the old writing juices stirring again.
However, I realize now that I jumped straight into the weeds about things like my intended writing cadence, the web framework I used, the IndieWeb crowd I’ve been hanging out with…
…but I completely forgot to introduce myself. Whoops.
Let’s try this again!
Who I Am Now
👋 Hi there! My name is Al.
💼 Professionally, I’m a designer and product guy, usually on early teams. After a whirlwind 15 years at SF startups, I moved back to my hometown of San Diego.
🚴 Since moving back, I’ve gotten into old passions like Disneyland, photography and cycling, as well as new outdoorsy hobbies like camping and bikepacking.
🧬 Science fiction. I read seven of the Dune books leading up to the movie. Last year I was blown away by The Three Body Problem and am currently reading more from Liu Cixin.
🚀 Space exploration. It’s happening and we should do it right this time.
That About Covers It
This was fun to write! I have an About page in a fun slideshow format that I haven’t updated in years, so it was fun to do a newer expanded version in a different format.
Thanks for reading! Cheers 🥂
