The Philosophy Behind Empire of Mist
Why I Built Empire of Mist
Over the years, I’ve created countless projects, built numerous websites, and explored an endless variety of ideas. My digital presence is vast and sprawling—a mix of thriving projects, unfinished dreams, and long-forgotten experiments. As a sentimental person, I’ve always found it hard to let go of anything, which means my creative empire has grown wild and unruly. That’s where the idea for Empire of Mist was born.
This site isn’t just a hub for links or a collection of my projects—it’s a reflection of how I see the world and my place in it. It’s a map of my creative journey, a place where I can gather, organize, and share everything I’ve built, while also making space for what’s yet to come. Let me take you behind the philosophy that shaped it.
The Kingdom as a Metaphor
I’ve always loved the imagery of kingdoms and realms, where each area represents a unique part of a larger whole. For me, every project, platform, and creative pursuit feels like its own realm, interconnected yet distinct. With Empire of Mist, I wanted to bring that metaphor to life, creating a space where each of these realms has its own identity while remaining part of a unified vision.
The mist represents mystery, discovery, and evolution. Just like how the mist clears to reveal hidden landscapes, this site helps me (and you!) navigate the layers of my creative world. Some realms are thriving and active, while others are memories of what once was. Each one has its place in the empire.
Why Now?
I’ve been building websites since 1999, and my web presence has grown into something both exciting and overwhelming. With so many projects, platforms, and ideas floating around, it’s easy to lose track of where everything lives. I realized I needed a way to bring it all together—not just for my audience, but for myself.
Creating Empire of Mist is about more than just organization. It’s about honoring the past, embracing the present, and preparing for the future. By gathering everything here, I can see clearly what’s worth keeping, what needs to evolve, and what I’m ready to let go of.
Welcome to my empire. The mist is clearing—let’s see where the map leads.
