The Blog

What You’ll See Here

Content (that’s interesting to me)

You can learn from my entirely-too-long About Me page that I’m a web developer with a few interests such as languages, linguistics, and Christianity.

Over the years I’ve made a concerted effort to write articles that are more concise, accurate, clear, and authentic. Over that same time I’ve become less formal and more sweary. The sweary isn’t for shock value; it’s me forgoing the stress of masking how I really talk and think.

Almost nothing since 2018 was written in a single day. Sometimes a single blog post takes upwards of 50 hours of writing, proofreading, and research. I put work into what I write.

Opinions

Not only is this a blog, it’s my blog. I can write whatever the hell I want here —including my own opinions. My opinions are subject to change over time. They are not required to be good opinions or even correct opinions.

My opinions are mine alone and not my employer’s, pastor’s, or dog’s.

Comments

I leave comments open on most blog posts for like a year or something. Eventually, though, I want people to move on and read new content.

I read your comments. I screen them for looking like spam, excessive profanity, and for general overall not-a-dickishness. I’ll respond to most comment within 2 days. I may delete your comments if they look sus.

Calls for Social Action

Some of my blog posts may have a link to a charity of some sort. I may do this because it’s something that’s meaningful to me. I may also do this as a way of giving thanks to someone who helped me while writing an article.

Give or don’t give. Be the change you want to see in the world.

What You Won’t See Here

Articles written with or by AI

I don’t write with ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other LLMs. I don’t even use Grammarly. Every single word I write on this comes from my own brain. When I write longer articles, I rely on trusted friends to review them for flow, sensibility, and grammar.

A handful of my articles have used AI-generated imagery

Articles written April 2023 – June 2024 may contain AI-generated artwork. When I learned that Dall-e and friends were trained on copyrighted material, I stopped using AI-generated art.

Advertisements

I will not, and will never, put up advertisements because I’m not blogging to get rich.

But if you wanted to buy me a cup of coffee, I wouldn’t be mad.

Social Media

You can go to paceaux.com if you want a list of all the places you can find me online.

If you want to share my content on social media, go for it.

I don’t put “share” icons or a lot of embeds on my site because I don’t want the tracking (and I bet you don’t either).

Photos

If you want to know what I look like, check me out on social media. I have a profile picture there.

If you want to know what my wife & kids look like, tough shit.
