An occasional newsletter
I write a newsletter about my web wanderings:

I’ve been fascinated with crypto since 2013 when I did my first bitcoin transaction just so I wouldn’t become an old man left in the dark ages. Been through a fair share of rug pulls.
In 2022 I became an AI influencer for a few weeks on TikTok. I knew I had achieved True Influencer Status because a friend of Emily mentioned a video they saw and she was like, yeah, that’s Josh and I edited it. After that, I faded back into comfortable obscurity.
I had a small resurgence with my 800% slower series (Windows XP was the big hit) which resulted in a lot of PC makers in my dms.
An… enigma?

Someone once told me ”you’re an enigma, man” in the most California voice I’ve ever heard. Was it a compliment or a criticism? I never asked.
