The Unwind is a roughly-weekly dispatch of links and notes from what I’ve read and built lately. Hand-curated, no aggregation. Each issue is a single piece in the spirit of Thorsten Ball’s Register Spill.

Past issues sit below and stay readable on the site forever. Subscribe to receive new ones by email, or follow the RSS feed.


The Unwind #1: Cold start

Welcome to The Unwind #1. The plan is simple: roughly once a week, I’ll send out a hand-curated mix of things I’ve read worth sharing and things I built or worked on, with short commentary on both. The shape is heavily inspired by Thorsten Ball’s Register Spill, which I’ve followed for a while and admired from a distance. A lot of what shows up here will come from my second-brain capture in Obsidian — notes I keep while reading and working, surfaced into one place each week. Future issues will get into specifics. This one is just the hello.
