Five strata, newest first. The deeper you scroll, the further back you go. Enter a stratum to walk its posts in the order they were lived.
The camera comes out. Golf obsession, the MagLoft team in Bali, a dry-needling saga nobody asked for. This is the closest era to the person running this site now — same island, same company, more hair.
Publishing my income to the internet, training for triathlons, and then — one one-way ticket to Bali. Everything on the professional side of this website traces back to a decision made in this stratum.
First apartment, office pranks, winter bathing, a backpack through Singapore, Bali and the Philippines. A twenty-something documenting everything, mostly for an audience of his mum.
Where it all starts: launch fever, Frank Kern, a failed software business, and a kid absolutely convinced he'd make it online. Reader beware — the enthusiasm is unfiltered.
The domain was registered in 2002 — six years before the first blog post that survived. Everything from this era is gone: no database, no files, no backups. What remains are the photographs the Internet Archive happened to take as it passed by. These are the only surviving pictures of a website that no longer exists anywhere else.
