Starting a Blog Here

By John

The rest of this site is built around guides — long, structured, researched pieces about cameras, controllers, and cables. Those have a job to do. They answer a question someone typed into a search box.

This section does not have that job.

What goes here

Notes. Things learned the hard way and written down before they are forgotten. Half-formed opinions about hardware. The occasional aside that would have derailed a guide.

Posts here are shorter, less polished, and more willing to be wrong.

How it works

Each post is an .mdx file in src/content/musings/. Set draft: true in the frontmatter and the post appears while running astro dev but is excluded from production builds, so unfinished thinking stays private until it is ready.

Files beginning with an underscore are ignored entirely — _template.mdx is there to copy from.
