This platform has been transitioning from a sort of online diary for me into a concrete publication. Because of that, I will the machine. is as much a primary focus of mine as the life and thought that feeds its material. I continue to have regular site traffic even during periods that I don’t write and visitors deep diving my material weekly. I have to thank you again for your interest in my work.
The next three months are going to be dense. I am carefully ramping toward an 1100-mile race and will be balancing work, increased training on the bike, publishing regular essays, dedicated blocks working on Reorganism, pitching writing to outside publications to increase my reach, some short social media amplifiers, and managing sunburn.
I would like to ask you a favor. If any of my work has resonated with you, it would be incredibly helpful for my growth if you would consider sharing any of my material with others that you think may find it engaging. Expressing my internal experiences is easy—networking? Not so much. Subscribers also receive all of my posts in full directly in their email inbox, and it’s free.
Below are some pieces that serve as useful introductions to my viewpoints, and have been the essays that have traveled well:
Goin’ Up on a Tuesday: A Question of Ethics and Advantage for a Record Ride
Preview of Reorganism— The opening essay of my upcoming book.
Chiaroscuro— A psychological essay dissecting my own cognitive dissonance.
Some upcoming works include:
Genna v. ChatGPT, where I show you how I discern AI-generated writing and scripts from creators who present it as their own material, and how I have used AI to analyze me through my own writing.
And a profile piece with Sarah Rice, the current women’s record holder for the Mishigami Challenge. I will be sitting down with her for an interview the day before I take the race on myself.
As a final note, I will be integrating my online library with my physical presence with an official jersey. I am open to potential sponsor logo placement for this season, so if you’re interested in affiliation with my projects, you can reach out to me directly with my contact form.
Funding for likely my only major official event this year is tight. I am self-funding necessary gear upgrades for a 6-7 day effort; as is discussed in It Catches You, an Incredible, Ghostly Rider, overnights at hotels are the best strategy at performing well at this event, and I am looking for assistance with those costs. I have a primary backer that is willing to match contributions up to a certain amount. If you’re interested in being a part of this story, you can reach out to me via the Contact Me page or Julie at jfkoirty@gmail.com.
And so, I raise my sword.
I will the machine.
