Me
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
Edith Sitwell
I’m Steve.
I understand the world by building things that improve it. I write to share what matters. Simple beats complex every time.
Just me, being me
I pick up books that call to me—philosophy, fiction, technical manuals. No grand reading lists, just curiosity following its own path. Every page teaches something, even if it’s just how to think differently.
Reading shapes me
I’ve covered ground on two wheels since I could balance. Long routes with friends reveal more than destinations ever could.
My Surly ECR has carried me 180km from Ho Chi Minh to Ba Dong Beach, and return.
Life is beautiful, even when the skies aren’t blue. But why not paint vibrant colors across the canvas anyway?
I think for my self
My eye
Behind the lens, I hunt for moments that matter. Not the obvious shots—the quiet ones. The light between buildings. The expression that lasts half a second. Photography taught me to see before looking.

The only link between you and the reader is the sentence you’re making.

Since 2009, I’ve been putting thoughts online. Started with WordPress in 2019 at skyquietly.com, then moved to Jekyll for control. Built this site myself, edit in Nova, write in Obsidian, deploy with Cloudflare.
My old WordPress site—good times!
A note on privacy
I work in marketing, yet I resist being monitored. Real connection happens between people, not data points.
You found this page through something I wrote, someone’s recommendation, or simple curiosity. That’s enough context for me. I suspect you value the same authentic exchange.
I don’t collect your information. No tracking, no analytics, no digital shadows. Read freely, comment if moved to, reach out when it feels right.
If something here resonates enough to share, please keep my name attached. That’s all I ask.
