    Rebuilding My Blog

    I’ve always had a homepage or a blog of some sort, and I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with it.

    My first few sites and blogs were built on an old platform called Freewebs (RIP), which I used to host my very first website when I was about 8 years old.

    Over the years, especially as I’ve become more competent at this web development thing, I’ve rebuilt my blog a few times.

    This Post Isn't For You

    I’ve never been the type of person to really see out the end of a year with much… pomp, circumstance, or ceremony.

    The end of the year, like birthdays, or any other yearly milestone, has never really held much significance outside of any social occasions that may arise around it.

    2026, however, feels different.

    My Take On Free Will

    Like my post on consciousness, this is another topic I’ve held consistent beliefs about for most of my life.

    I don’t believe free will exists, quantum mechanics doesn’t save us, and this post covers why that’s actually liberating.

    My Take On Consciousness

    Believe it or not, I’ve been asked about the topic of “consciousness” sometimes… and I have (maybe one too many) thoughts on the matter.

    This post covers dualism to animism, exploring qualia, the mind-body problem, and why we might never fully understand subjective experience, but why I believe everything is conscious.

    Ecto Queryable Pattern

    Ecto queries are just data! This post goes over how we can abuse that fact to build ergonomic, composable query patterns.

    Using behaviors, callbacks, and metaprogramming, we can create a single source of truth for query logic that works everywhere.
