What I'm Using (2)

I’ve made a few updates to what I’ve been using, mostly adding new categories. However, there has been one big change. For document creation, I’ve switched from Pages to iA Writer. Pages has done everything I’ve needed, but I wanted to go back to Markdown. My original reason for switching away from Markdown was the limited availability of things like custom styles that I prefer in lecture/sermon notes.

What I'm Doing Now

I’ve always liked the idea of having a Now page on my site, and have even toyed with it a few times. I decided to make my own version using a dedicated category that will preserve posts from before now as well. When I do update my Now, I won’t lose the old ones. Perhaps it’s not exactly how it was intended, but it’s what I’m going to use.

What I'm Carrying

For years, I’ve been an EDC (Everyday Carry) enthusiast. I’ve gone down every rabbit hole you can imagine from Bugouts to Sebenzas to Shamwaris to Zebralights to Hank’s Lights…the list could go on. As I’ve aged (matured?) I’ve settled into a kit that works well for my lifestyle.

Introducing Mythos Theme

After years (wow, that happened fast) of crafting themes for Micro.blog, I’m excited to introduce Mythos Theme — my latest project that represents the direction of my theme development work. Before diving into what makes Mythos special, I want to share some important updates about my existing themes and where they stand moving forward.
