It was time for a refresh.
After running brettwagner.me on a Jekyll theme for several years, I decided it was time for a refresh. Same name and purpose, just rebuilt feel and some backend tweaks (thanks Claude!). Field Notes is a place for dispatches from ordinary life: what I’m reading, what I’m thinking about, and the occasional polished article.
The design goal was to get out of the way of the words. I liked the simplicity of the Hitchens theme, but wanted something a little simpler with some other custom tweaks. It is another static site hosted on GitHub Pages, which means I can write and update in Markdown with very little friction.
