Welcome; this site is my personal space for writing about technology, projects, and anything else that catches my interest. It’s a rebuilt and re-imagined version of an older site that I was maintaining. This time I’ve got a plan and a style guide. I run the site because I enjoy it, and I’ll keep it going as long as it remains fun.
What you’ll find here
- Personal projects, experiments, and reflections on tech culture and tools
- Essays, reviews, and how-tos about technology, both vintage gear and modern systems
- Content tied to my YouTube channel, RetiredTechie
- Occasional posts on other topics that interest me

How I work
This site is self-funded and independent. However I do accept donations.
I publish when I have something worth sharing; no strict schedule, but regular updates are planned. If a topic interests me, it will likely appear here.
