Re-Acquainting Myself With Being A Visionary
Between late night binges playing Phasmophobia, I’ve been doing a lot of “future work” lately. Thinking about Novatorius, Siren, and what it all means. How does it all connect to my beliefs, and my life, and what’s the purpose of all of it.

Work Life Balance Is A Lie.
Work-life balance is a trap. It frames work and life as opponents in an unwinnable war. Seek harmony instead. Let work flow with life’s rhythms, not against them.

PHPNomad As An MVC Framework
So PHPNomad can run as an MVC framework now. That’s neat. I needed a way to make Siren run outside of WordPress. After careful consideration, I decided the best route to take was to set up the last couple of packages needed to just make PHPNomad capable of running as its own MVC framework. I […]

This prompt yielded some really solid copy for Novatorius’ About Page:
The attached document is a conversation I had with ChatGPT about Novatorius’ website. In this, we talk a little bit about how to create the about page for Novatorius.
Some rules:
You must not refer to this as “mine” or “I”. This is is a “we” and “us” thing. This is a business I run, but it’s not “me”.
This should use the golden circle (Why, How, What)
It should keep the nautical themes minimal. It’s tempting to use them but I think in this context it’ll be tacky.
Avoid saying “status quo”
I really want you focus heavily on what we believe. This page should capture the “about us” mostly through those beliefs. Nearly everything in this page should talk about beliefs, tenants, and values.
I do not want you to mention anything that even remotely suggests what we do. That is not the purpose of this page. This should be all about encapsulating the spirit of what Novatorius is.

One of the most unexpectedly great things about my personal site has been that it allows me to test ideas quickly. No domain, no website, nothing. Just toss up a page on the site and try it. Improve, iterate, and transition if it proves worthwhile.

This is a tough week. I have 4 different projects all launching at the same time.
The good news is I have two launches down – just two more to go!

I Talked About Siren, and Business on Manana No Mas
I hopped on Kurt’s podcast, and talked about Siren, business, and just in-general where my head is at after leaving GoDaddy earlier this year.
Project Novatorius
As thrilled as I am about the significant progress I’m making with Siren, it’s hardly in a place to replace my income, and the simple reality is that building a business like this is a long, slow grind that I’m happy to do, but takes time In the meantime, I need to have a source of income, and considering I decided to take a plunge back into running an agency.
