Musings of Michael Puhala
Personal Website for Michael V Puhala
Hello. However you made your way here, welcome to my corner of the Internet. Some say that the personal website is dead. I contend that a personal website is still very much relevant and for me, an important part of my creative expression — algorithm free. This is a place where I share my thoughts, my work, and yes, my offerings. While the focus of this website is a place to put my writing and my photography, it’s also a place where I want to engage thoughtfully.
“The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future.”
January, 2026
Beyond my career and job in the Community space at Bevy, I am spending my free time on three endeavors in 2026:
Ten:Ten - private watch trading practice. Small volume. High standards.
Blog article that provides more information.
Writing Book #2 - Memoir of a Machine. This is a prequel of sorts to my first book Human Traits.
I hope to complete the first draft in the first half of the year and publish it sometime in the second half.
The Drop In - I started this newsletter in Mid 2024 and took a small break in the fall. I am picking this back up in the new year.
This is all about achieving on-demand flow state. Something I constantly work on, particularly in creative expression.
While I am not spending much time on this, another project I launched last year:
A Return to Analog - A vinyl collection and management service.
Are you sensing a theme to the above? As a technologist and someone who spends a lot of time in the technology world, I want my creative expression and hobbies to stay grounded in the physical world and design.
