Hello World!

Hi! I’m Dan.
Welcome to my digital garden!
This page is a collection of my writings on a variety of topics, from the joys and challenges of fatherhood, to random thoughts in economics, and my experiences with technology and creating a smart home.


What you’ll find here

The majority of the content of this page falls within two main types:

1. My thoughts on lived experiences
  • Fatherhood: Honest reflections on the ups and downs of raising a child, a journey I only just started.
  • Economics: Exploring some ideas or economic concepts and how they tie in with the reality we live in.
  • Misc: Some random thoughts that do not fit neatly under any of the other main categories.
2. Documenting projects and experiments
  • Technology: Diving into the world of tech, and my smart home automation projects.
  • Self-hosting: Notes and tips based on my attempt at taking control of my digital infrastructure.

What this is and why I write

This digital garden is intended as a living space.
My goal is to capture and cultivate thoughts and ideas, allowing them to grow over time. You’ll find some notes here are still in their early stages, while others will have matured into fully-fledged essays.

The core idea is that, rather than being static, these notes will be developed, updated and improved over time. All my writings display the date in which they were last modified/updated.

For my projects I almost always rely on information I read online, often on other pages like this.
It is only fair that I do the same and share what I have learned online, so that it may be of help to someone else.


Feel free to send me an email with comments or any other feedback.

Happy Reading!
Dan
