The oily truth about search console data The smell of WD-40 hangs heavy in the shop today. It is thick. It is honest. My hands are covered in a fine layer of graphite and old oil because I just spent four hours looking for a vacuum leak in a customer’s site. Most people think their […]
The Blueprint and the Rain The smell of pencil lead and damp paper always fills this office when the Seattle rain starts hitting the skylight.

The smell of grease and the sound of clicking ratchets The shop floor is cold today, and the scent of WD-40 hangs heavy in the air. My hands are stained with the kind of black grease that soap ignores. People come to me with websites that feel like old trucks with clogged fuel injectors. They […]
The smell of damp concrete and the rot in your foundation The graphite from my 2B pencil leaves a dark smudge on the corner of the blueprint as the rain drums against the office glass. People think a website is a surface. They see the paint and the glass but ignore the load-bearing beams. The […]
