Just a small space for me and my stuff.

Hello World!
Hi! It seems you've found my small home. I'm Dan, if you couldn't tell, I'm a perpetually online dork trying to take back the web in their own way! Free of notifications, ads and trackers. I struggled with "digital addiction" my whole life and want to make strong attempt to liberate myself from it all.

Anyway this small place is my own webpage, just for me and the things I make or like! Your free to explore it follow links and see where you end up! You'll see my exploration with 35mm film and other photographic mediums! Perhaps you'll read my essays and thoughts STOP TRYING TO GET IN MY HEAD! Maybe You'll find my favorites hobby and uncover all the TTRPG stuff I make and display here!

The end goal of everything here is to give me my own slice of cyberspace and return to what the web used to be, before all the sociopathic tech bros and authoritarian governments took it over...

We can be free again,
We can be happy again.

Articles
So, you made it past the intro? Well-done have a cookie! One this site I often try to just put thoughts to text and muse about ideas I have. I call them articles as they cover a large selection of "stuff," Anything from my just journaling my day away to writing a full essay on the existential dread I feel, or sometimes just a random thing I wanna show off.

Featured Posts!

Just Make it Exists published on 13.10.25

Recommendations
Woza you made it to the second page! Look at you go you leen mean scrollin' machine!...

Well... anyway in this section I put up some "things" that I like and maybe you will to? It's a way to naturally spread the word about cool stuff without the need of... the algorithm.

Who to Follow?!
Ok so maybe I follow a lot of people. It's ok they like it! I can't showcase everyone here but maybe I can highlight the best ones!

Sly flourish Is a creator in the TTPRG space I've followed for years! I keep checking out their prep sessions and even to this date my own system is just an evolution from his Return of the Lazy GM!

Sarah Davis Baker Five months ago they made a shift to video essays on topics that we all need to know about better. In their last essay they said that yes they will be doing more video essays and leaving the cat influencer life behind. A new creator but I already think they are epic! There are two essays I really want everyone to see, The Internet was a Place where she documents the rise and fall of the internet, we also have Persistence of Decay were she talks about the passing of time.

Reading List
I am trying to read way more than I do right now, I have a home full of unread books and a EReader with even more! I hope that maybe talking more about the books I read will drive me to read more. I know I'm drawn more to non-fic than anything else so expect that the most!

I'm currently reading two books, both in the same school of thought; The 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene and What Every Body is Saying, by Joe Navarro. Both of social psychology books as it's something my brain seems to have fixated on right now!

Want to Contact me?

First off... Why? You a weird stalker? Do we need to police here?
In reality, I have a few yucky social pages you could catch me on if your lucky, but I tend not to respond to strangers.
