What this is: Irregular updates when there's something worth sharing. No schedule, no filler, no "content marketing." Just the work.
- New research threads opening up (recent example: copper/NAC/psyllium Phase 0 experiment starting)
- Major syntheses crystallizing (when months of Field Notes coalesce into clear patterns)
- Practical applications tested (the 77:17 framework took years to validate—you get the results when they're solid)
- Code releases (NEWASTRO Python conversion now published—you heard it here first)
- Significant findings (like discovering harmonic patterns in orbital mechanics that validate Russell's cosmology)
- Occasionally: book recommendations, research tools, methods worth sharing
- Weekly emails "just to stay in touch"
- Motivational content or inspirational quotes
- Product launches or sales pitches
- Anything designed to "drive engagement"
- Rehashed content from the blog
Frequency: Could be twice a month. Could be nothing for six weeks. I send when there's signal, not on schedule. If you need regular content, this isn't it.
Tone: Same as the site—beer and shade, whisky and fire. Casual but rigorous. Personal but not confessional. I'm sharing research journey, not performing guru wisdom.
