Why I'm writing again

A short note on starting this site, and what I plan to put here.

I used to keep a personal site on WordPress. It got heavy, I stopped tending it, and eventually it became one of those tabs you mean to fix and never do. So I tore it down and rebuilt from scratch — plain Jekyll, hosted on GitHub Pages, pointed at my own domain. No plugins I don’t understand, no dashboard, no upsells. Just text files I control.

This is the first post, mostly to prove the pipeline works. But here’s what I actually intend to do with this space.

What this is for

I’m building Happyglow — a physician-guided telemedicine platform — and the entire thesis of the brand is that honest clinical education beats hype. It feels right to hold myself to the same standard in public. So expect:

• Notes on what I’m learning about medicine, the body, and why so much health marketing is quietly dishonest.
• The real mechanics of building a bootstrapped company with no funding and no plan to sell.
• Whatever I’m reading — tracked over on the bookshelf.

The only rule

Write the way I’d want it explained to me: clearly, without dumbing it down, and honest about the tradeoffs. If a post doesn’t pass that bar, it doesn’t go up.

That’s the whole plan. The compounding starts now.
