About this site

Daniel Thoughts is a personal blog that captures what I have been thinking about lately. As captured in my first post, Why Write, one motivating factor was that I would consume so much content, but I would never fully engage with it and make it my own. This site gave me the extra push needed to organize my thoughts clearly since they would be seen by others! New writing only comes out occasionally so don't set your expectations too high.

Sections

There are two real sections to the site. The main home page is for more essay style writing, which I started doing back in October 2023 intermittently. The Shorts page is closer to a Link Blog^[1] and provides the opportunity to share in a shorter form interesting things I either found or learned^[2].

Right now, signing up for the email newsletter will only send you my latest essays, though that could change over time depending on the amount of volume I end up writing on Shorts.

1. For those unfamiliar with the concept there are good examples from John Gruber (Daring Fireball), Jason Kottke, or Simon Willison.
2. Long-time Daniel Thoughts subscribers will remember the old "Reflections" section which has been co-opted with a broader mission.
