Resurrecting my site

I’ve been wanting to resurrect my site and blog more frequently for a while now, especially since I’ve mostly stopped using social networks.

I was waiting to have some posts or notes content, but that might take some time. So I’m starting with this, my first “Now” page and an “Uses” page.

At Vernon, I have been working on our Product Studio, Fenneth.
I am basically working full-time on Dripddit, our first business. My days are filled with PydanticAI (as well as OpenAI and Anthropic APIs), Django, Shopify, and SEO—and I haven’t been happier at work in a long, long time.
I still spend some time consulting for clients, and I am really looking forward to a tech due diligence project I’ll be working on at the end of the month. Really interesting AI company doing hard work.

This is month 4 since I basically stopped consuming social networks. I uninstalled Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube back in December. It was going to be only for a month but when that passed I just didn’t need to reinstall them. Somehow YouTube’s algorithm still kidnaps my brain through the browser though.
I subscribed to The Economist a couple of months ago, with the goal of reading long form but still current-ish news coverage. Unfortunately the weeklies are just piling up because I just don’t find the energy to read about the current state of the world.
Currently watching The White Lotus S03 and The Pitt, excruciatingly waiting for a new episode every week.
I am reading the first book in the Blackwater series, The Flood. Great escapist literature and the writing is superb, even translated into Spanish.
I have been pretty steadily going to the gym twice a week with my personal trainer, barely skipping any sessions. My body and my mind are happier than ever.
