This is an image of a river that I took.

I had an opportunity to go fishing with my family.

We got pulled over on the way there.

The ticket was $90.

We caught a lot of fish.

I never rowed the boat.

I've been reading about this new platform, ValTown

They do this thing that is kind of like serverless, kind of like a lambda, and kind of like twitter.

You can write JavaScript or TypeScript functions that they will host.

The Hum In My Brain is built only using Astro. It is the internet's equivalent of a billboard off the highway in rural Nevada.

It has no backend.

Well, it kind of does now. Like a micro microservice style backend. Little functions deployed so easily.

Valtown's servers only live in Ohio. But I don't think that'll be an issue for me.

This is a form where you can sign up to receive a newsletter I may or may not ever write.

This form will persist your email address to a val I have.

This is how easy it is.

I promise I'll probably never email you.

Next steps are to self host a PocketBase backend and build some real features.
