This is Authenick
One writer’s attempt to merge his many half-baked projects into a fully-baked one.
Hey there!
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you followed me here from TechThought, Digital Waters, or one of the many Substack side quests I’ve embarked on over the years.
So first: thank you. Sincerely.
You could be anywhere on the internet right now, and instead you’re here, wondering what Authenick is — and whether it involves AI, analogies, or an emotionally fraught post about my dog (answer: maybe all three).
So what is this?
Authenick is where I stop pretending I can compartmentalize my brain. It’s where the tech musings, personal reflections, dad thoughts, ADHD tangents, and subtle existential dread all get to hang out together. One feed. One me. Take it or leave it.
If you liked:
the calm, tool-friendly takes from TechThought
the more human, messy stuff from Digital Waters
or just my general vibe of “guy with a lot of thoughts trying to make sense of things”…
then you’ll probably feel at home here.
There’ll still be essays, notes, app talk, philosophical meanderings, and posts written way too late at night. The only real difference? I’m not trying to split myself between multiple newsletters anymore.
This is the full feed. The mixed tape. The mainline. The Authenick experience.
Thanks for being here.
