T-10 Days

The title of this post is a reference to my career in space using the launch countdown format. Today represents 10 days before launch of my crazy experiment, so it’s T-10 days, pronounced “Tee minus 10 days.”

Although the 777 Days experiment is only one part of my site, I still wanted to capture what I’ve done so far toward relaunching my personal site and also that crazy idea.

Today I was able to secure my name as my domain name after several years of not being able to do that. So I locked it down for 3 years and then got busy for a couple of hours.

I put together the first few pages of the site and started laying out the 777 days experiment. This won’t officially launch until July 19, but I didn’t want to wait until the last minute.

I put together the 777days.substack.com substack and wrote my first post over there. I also put together a list of benefits for paid supporters. The overall intent did not include the idea of making money from it. But if it ends up doing that, so much the better.

Now I just need to figure out how to actually make the most out of all this, lol

New Site Again

It’s been a few years since I was able to have my own name as a web domain. At one point, some automated thing captured my domain name before I could renew it (missed it by literally 9 minutes). But I gave it a try today and managed to get it and lock it down for a while.

So here I am launching my site…all over again. For the third time.

I have lots of plans for the site, including sharing my thoughts in various posts, linking to things I find interesting or valuable or fun, logging my journeys in personal and professional growth, and more.

I hope to meet some like-minded souls along the way, make some lifelong friends, and seeing where this all takes me. If you like what I’m doing, I hope you’ll recommend my site to others.
