Why everydad.dad Exists
A dad, a domain name, and a plan to figure things out in public.
I bought a domain name today: everydad.dad. This post is me explaining to you — and honestly, to myself — what it’s for.
The short version
I’m a dad with a lot of side projects. I’m teaching myself Brazilian Portuguese by building my own learning tools. I want to get into brewing. We camp. And there’s the everyday job of raising kids, which generates more questions than answers.
Until now all of that lived in notebooks, half-finished folders on my computer, and conversations my wife has politely endured. This site is the new home for it.
Why “everydad”?
Because the theme is deliberately vague. I didn’t want a brewing blog or a language-learning blog or a parenting blog — I wanted one place that can hold whatever I’m into this year without needing a rebrand. The only thread connecting it all is that I’m a regular dad trying things.
If that sounds unfocused, it is. That’s the point. Sites I admire, like Art of Manliness, cover everything from finances to fire-starting and it works because the voice is consistent even when the subject isn’t.
What to expect
- Write-ups of projects, including the failures. Especially the failures.
- A YouTube channel eventually. When it exists, videos will get companion posts here with the details that don’t fit in a video.
- No expertise. I’m not a professional anything that’s relevant here. These are field notes, not instructions.
That’s it. Post one, done. The bar for post two is already lower.
