I launched this website in September, 2008. A year and a month later, New Liberty Standard bought 5,050 Bitcoin for $5.02 in what was the first purchase of Bitcoin using fiat money. That would be worth $321M today, give or take a few hundred thousand.
Over the next five years I wrote 172 posts. Then I got busy with…life? Whatever the case, I didn’t do anything with the website for 13 years, other than to allow it to get hacked.
Today is August 11th, 2026. The content the hackers put up is gone. The old content is back. And I’m back, with new content to share.
Disclaimer about old content: I hope I’ve learned a few things over the past twenty years. I hope I’m a better person. I’m sure I’d be embarrassed at some of the things I said, and thought, if I went back and read all my old posts. If it comes to my attention that I said something particularly rude, unkind, or incorrect, maybe I’ll remove the post. Maybe I’ll insert my own comments within the post as an update. Otherwise, I’m going to leave the old stuff up, as is.
What’s the focus going forward? Whatever I feel like. Probably not so much around apologetics. I feel like others have done and are doing a better job.
I’ll still maintain a faithful approach, although perhaps more nuanced and in some cases, controversial, at least to other active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, than I’ve maintained in the past.
What interests me most today are questions around how we keep the two great commandments to love God and our neighbors. Especially:
- How can I love my wife better?
- How can I love my children better?
- How can I love gay people better?
- How can I love anti-Mormons better?
- How can I love myself better?
And how does the gospel help me in each of these and other areas?
That said, don’t be surprised if I post about whether God has perfect foreknowledge or not, or if there really is an infinite regress of Gods.
Onward.
