What the hell am I even doing with my life?

I don’t run a gear review empire, and I’m not trying to become some YouTube tech bro unboxing the latest junk. But I do spend a ridiculous amount of time figuring out what actually works — on trails, on bikes, in airports, in the middle of nowhere.

This site’s always been a bit of a sandbox. Lately, I’ve been thinking it could also be a place to share the gear I’ve actually used, broken, fixed, and replaced — not just because someone paid me to say it’s great, but because I needed it to not suck when it mattered.

So yeah — I’m adding some product stuff here. Reviews? Maybe. Rants? Probably. Affiliate links? Also yes, because if I’m going to spend 45 minutes writing about a headlamp or running vest that doesn’t bounce like a caffeinated ferret, I might as well get coffee money from it.

This doesn’t mean geodee.com becomes a product dump. It’s still me — still weird, still scattered, still figuring it out. But I’m spinning up athlidiot.com too — where I’ll go deeper into the “gear + grit” angle. That’s where I’ll throw the heavier stuff: training notes, race disasters, the backpack I swore I’d never use again but now secretly love. You know. The usual.

If you’re into that kind of thing — gear with a bit of mileage and some attitude — stick around. If not, no worries. I’ll still be yelling into the void either way.
