I'm having a nice, slow Sunday evening where I've decided to revisit this little blog here and putter on its design a bit.

It would be fair to say that I seem to be in a perpetual state of mediocre satisfaction with this thing. While poking at some Tailwind styles, I started wondering what a blog should be (somewhat facetiously). I have some ideas, but I think I might have more ideas of what it shouldn't be, for me.

For the most part, this is good, but I will miss being able to travel without burning rent.
