Plowing Through the Creek for the KOM...Maybe
A chilly June in the mountains, an empty pot never boils, a son newly hooked on Dragon Masters, HealthKit doubling my workout, and plowing straight through four creek crossings to steal a trail KOM…maybe.
Freezer Meals, Fourth Place, Crossposting, and Frozen Boys
VBS for the kids and freezer meals on the counter, a trail run that landed me in 4th (faster than all the girls, at least), the tool I am building to crosspost the blog, and the winter camping trip that taught my boys what cold really means.
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ: You Are Men and Women
My 8yo sailed through his membership vows with a clear yes to each, until the fifth one stopped him: "What does that mean?" Why I was glad he asked before agreeing, with detours into the Feynman technique, leftovers, and love languages.
Twenty-Two Cartoons to Twenty-One
Rain scrapped my trail plans, so I hiked the route I have named the calf burner. Then I gathered the kids to vote cartoons off their custom channel and we went from twenty-two down to twenty-one. Plus S out with friends, and a grill I luckily never had to uncover.

Setting Up Tinybird Analytics on a Self-Hosted Ghost Blog (Ghost-CLI, No Docker)
A hard-won guide to wiring Tinybird web analytics into a self-hosted Ghost blog installed via Ghost-CLI and served through a Cloudflare Tunnel, no nginx in front. The one-click setup that wasn't: SSH-tunneling the OAuth login and why the analytics toggle stays greyed out.
How to Run Ads on Reddit
It's really quite simple to run ads on Reddit. Just do the backend pixel work, build your campaign, launch it, watch every ad get flagged illegal with no explanation, find no way to contact support, and book a 30-minute sales call to get a human to fix it. See? Very easy.
