Now: the week of September 8, 2026

What went live this week, in the order it mattered. A "now page" in the Derek Sivers sense: what he is doing, updated as it changes.

  • Leadville Offroad Adventuresleadvilleoffroad.comA rebuild for a real small business: guided snowmobile, UTV and dirt-bike tours out of Leadville, Colorado, plus full-line motorsports repair. Built to the house design bar, with the owner's own content.
  • Sledvillesledville.comThe next-generation sister site of Leadville Offroad Adventures: the same tours, with a trip planner and a concierge that answers questions in the browser.
  • AWE Conciergeautomatedwebengine.com/concierge/A free site assistant that runs one hundred percent in the browser: no cloud, no API costs, no monthly fee, $0 per question. It reads a site's own pages and FAQ, answers honestly, cites its sources, and hands off to the owner when it does not know. Two lines of code to install.
  • Atlanteaatlantea.orgAn illustrated graphic novel: a gilled city beneath the sea that can rise from the ocean and go to space.
  • ATX Guideatxguide.netA curated guide to Austin: neighborhoods, live music, food, the outdoors, festivals and Hill Country day trips.
  • Charles Petriecharlespetrie.comA tribute to Charles J. Petrie, Ph.D.: first hire of the MCC AI Lab, founding editor of IEEE Internet Computing, Stanford logician, Burning Man airport manager. He saw it and wrote back: "I had no idea anyone knew or cared. Thank you."
  • Firth Fanfirthfan.comColin Firth: filmography, reviews, news and interviews.
  • Austen.comausten.comThe original Jane Austen fan site, established 1997: all six major novels, a biography, fan fiction archives and Regency resources.
  • Ryan Holiday Fansryanholidayfans.comThe Stoic of Bastrop: the books, the Daily Stoic podcast and The Painted Porch bookshop.
  • Ted Nelson Fantednelsonfan.comA tribute to the man who coined the word hypertext, whose ideas the rest of us are still catching up to.
  • Tosca Grubertoscagruber.comAn independent appreciation of Tosca Gruber, the Austin luxury and waterfront REALTOR, licensed since 1984: Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Westlake.
  • walhus.comwalhus.comThis site: Paul's own public page, opened this week.

How a week like this happens

Every site starts from real content: the owner's own pages, the public record, the subject's own writing. AWE audits it against the house design bar and builds to a preview; AME proposes the marketing and waits for a yes. Paul reviews, fixes, and ships, usually several sites a day, all from the same desk in Austin. Nothing is paid for per token, no site is generated from nothing, and every image is either the owner's, credited, or drawn by hand.
