Pangaea. № 000 April 15, 2026

Poor Adam's Almanack

Before Pangaea there was a PDF. The almanack is the seed.

Before Pangaea there was a PDF.

For a while my whole catalog of self lived in a single document at adamanack.com, downloadable, finite, finished. Poor Richard had one. So did I.

Notes from a life under construction.

Poor Adam's Almanack

The almanack is the seed. Pangaea is what happens when you stop trying to bind a life into one book and let it sprawl across a website instead. Same impulse: keep a record, make it useful, ship it before it is ready. Different form: a living catalog instead of a single artifact, posts instead of pages, daily instead of annual.

If you want the prehistory of this place, the PDF is still there. The lineage runs: Poor Richard → Poor Adam → Pangaea. The construction does not stop.

This is post № 000. Everything after this is what the almanack was always trying to become.
