The Web Developer Who Neglected His Own Website for a Decade

There’s a darkly hilarious truth about working in web development — the guy who builds and maintains everyone else’s websites never has time to fix his own. After neglecting my company site since 2014 and accidentally crashing it while poking around the backend, I finally did what any responsible developer would do… I launched the new one that had been sitting 90% finished on my server.

A funny, ridiculous, and painfully relatable look at modern laptops, trialware, and why removing McAfee sometimes fixes more than espresso ever breaks.

Living with cerebral palsy means living with nonstop muscle spasms — and the only thing keeping mine under control is a surgically implanted baclofen pump.

With the Paralympics pushed to the margins of broadcast coverage, this post takes an angry, unfiltered look at why adaptive sports are still treated like an afterthought instead of world-class competition.
