Hello World

This is the first post on my new site. I’m Michael Mullen — a game producer and AI strategist — and I’ve been wanting a place to write about the things that occupy my brain.

Why this site exists

I spend a lot of time thinking about technology, AI, games, and systems. Notes pile up in Obsidian. Ideas connect to other ideas. But most of it stays private, locked in a vault that only I can see.

This site changes that. It’s built with Quartz, which turns my Obsidian vault into a published digital garden. That means this isn’t a traditional blog with a strict publishing schedule — it’s a living collection of notes and writing that grows and evolves over time.

What to expect

I’ll be writing about:

• Game production — lessons learned from shipping products and managing teams
• AI strategy — how organizations can actually use AI, beyond the hype
• Tech — tools, code, and workflows that make life better
• Systems thinking — patterns that show up everywhere once you start looking

Some posts will be polished. Others will be rough working notes. That’s the point of a digital garden — ideas at every stage of development.

Let’s go

If any of that sounds interesting, stick around. More to come.
