About this site

A weblog, a notebook, and an excuse to keep writing.

I'm David Krug. I write here about the web, design, books, and things I find interesting. This site has been my main writing space since 2026 — short links, longer essays, the occasional book note.

I'm based in Puerto Galera on the north coast of Mindoro, in the Philippines. When I'm not writing, I'm building 701am, an AI-powered earned media platform. Before that, a string of education publishing properties, plus a few other things.

Editorial principles

Posts are written by me, edited by me, and published when they're ready — not on a schedule. I correct mistakes openly with a dated note. If something I wrote is wrong, please tell me; my email is dk@701am.com.

Linkblog entries point to other people's work. They appear on the homepage with an arrow glyph and link out directly. Essays are full-length pieces I publish here. Notes are shorter observations. Books are about books.

You can also find me on Bluesky , GitHub , and Email .
