Now

what i'm doing
right now.

last marked — march 2026
Reading
Atlas Shrugged
Ayn Rand

came to rand through the fountainhead. this one is longer, denser, more uncompromising — & exactly what i needed. the idea that the mind is the only real source of value hasn't left me.

Watching
Charmed

the original series. something about the ritual of it — three sisters, a craft, a house with a life. the atmosphere never left me.

Listening
before the room

driving, focused, already in motion. the playlist that runs before everything else starts.

Building
viachaz studio

local business websites. the revenue engine. getting the system right before scaling anything.

Writing
a new essay

about the difference between a schedule & a rhythm. slow going. the good kind of slow.

Making
my first techno song

learning to produce. the discipline of a single kick pattern. it's harder than it sounds & exactly as meditative as i hoped.

a little more

right now i'm in a phase of consolidation. building the infrastructure — the studio, the site, the newsletter — & letting the creative work happen in the margins of that.

things on my mind:

  • the relationship between solitude & productivity — are they actually the same thing
  • what it means to build slowly, intentionally, without announcing it
  • the DJ craft — rekordbox, cue points, the discipline of a good transition
  • being a single father — what it costs, what it gives back, what it makes you
