Uses
This page is an overview of the tools I use in various parts of my life, including the hosting of this website.
The website
This site was started in 1999 at (the now migrated) dmiessler.com, and initially included writings that I had started from 1996. It now serves as the umbrella and container for all of my life projects.
Web technology stack
Hosting: AWS, Medium instance
OS: AWS Linux
Web Server: Nginx
Application Server: PHP-FPM
Caching: Nginx in-memory
WAF/Proxy: CloudFlare
Creation tooling
Neovim, actually.
Content for this site is created in Vim and in the built-in WordPress editor.
Source code is managed with Git.
My desk is a Renew desk, by Herman Miller
My chair is an Embody by Herman Miller as well.
My computer is a Mac Pro with 16 Cores and 96GB of memory.
I record using a Neumann U87AI microphone.
I use Neumann KH 120 A monitors.
I edit using Hindenburg.
I mix with a RODECASTER PRO.
Logo
The logo (new as of April 2021) represents circuitry, a neural net, and connections. The first part of the logo is an upside-down “U”, and the second part is an “L”. The orphaned dot in the top right solidifies the square shape of the logo and represents a connection that has yet to be made. It’s a reminder that there’s always something more to learn.
Fonts
The site’s fonts are Equity and Concourse, by Matthew Butterick.
Devices
I use an iPhone, which is always the latest model because I do the leasing thing
I have a couple of iPad Pros that I use for drawing and for my Roon controller in the living room
Music
Concepts
The show is called Unsupervised Learning, which is a type of Machine Learning that helps identify patterns in things that might previously have been missed. It also doubles as a concept of unstructured curiosity.

Notes
Thanks to my love for both the naming of Unsupervised Learning, and also for the brilliant logo modification suggestion in April of 2021.
