This is it. I’ve finally gotten around to starting up another blog site. Oh wait. They’re called “newsletters” now. I don’t know what news I’ll be breaking, but it might involve my latest shitposts on the blue place.

I think I’ll organize these update posts by what I’m doing with each of my content creation venues. This post should serve as a good first draft on a template. I imagine it will take several rounds of iteration throughout the coming year until I find a good format. Bear with me!

I’ve been trying to get in the rhythm of a good streaming schedule. Right now that looks like commitments to Wednesdays and Thursdays, but here is what I want to set up within the coming weeks.

That should get me about 15 hours a week or 60 hours each month. That seems like a reasonable goal to shoot for.

I get some decent engagement with AVCX and New Yorker crossword content so I’m going to continue to highlight those from my Twitch streams and export them to YouTube. I haven’t been trying too hard to increase the viewership there. I actually get more engagement on my abandoned DxP channel than I do at Solves.

I’ve been able to commit time to learning on Tuesdays fairly consistently. I would like to commit time on Fridays as well. Eventually I want to learn more web development.

Trying to hit at least 10 hours per week as I work back into the joy of programming and solving coding problems.

I’ve been constructing some minis over at Crosshare. The aim is to do at least one mini per week and get comfortable working with Ingrid while I build/prune a word list.

I want to commit to doing at least one of these types of posts each month. Though the publish dates might be played by my ear. Consider it a soft goal of at least one post per month for the foreseeable future.

Explainers on how I achieve certain effects with OBS and Streamerbot are also on my radar. Those will come up as I work on stream automations and find the energy to organize my chaos into words.

So that’s it for the first entry. Thanks for reading!
