Scout Theory / Now
Now
What I'm focused on this month. If you knew me in person, this is what I'd tell you I'm up to.
- 01
Rebuilding scotheo.com
Turning this site from a web-design sales page into home base for Scout Theory. You're looking at it.

Court Yourself, part two
Next up: an “After you file” guide and a builder for common motions and notices, like a change of address, an extension of time, a request for appointed counsel, and permission to e-file.
- 03
One parish at a time
Building websites for Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Medellín. Five so far: three in Medellín and two in Itagüí.
San Joaquín · Jesús de la Buena Esperanza · San Antonio de Prado · Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Itagüí · Jesús Caído, Itagüí

Gente Urgente
A planned direct-aid network for Medellín: food, shoes, clothing and support for kids, plus small equipment investments for street vendors. It's looking for funding to launch. If you can help, get in touch.
- 05
Capital for Colombian startups
Building a bridge between investors and Colombian founders: Colombia Startups, plus plain-language guides to angel investing and venture capital.

Finca stays
Turning my finca rental sites into a matching service for country houses around Medellín: say who's coming, when, and what you're celebrating, and get routed to the right finca.

Medellín Murder Mystery
An immersive murder mystery dinner on a rooftop in El Poblado: live actors, a real dinner, and a story set in 1989 Medellín that guests solve over the evening. Invitation only while it gets off the ground.

Andros Collection
A men's underwear label with three lines, made in Medellín. Right now I'm lining up fabricators and working out production and shipping. If you make garments in Medellín or want in early, get in touch.
- 09
MDE Host
Launching VPS hosting from Medellín. Colombia sits near the center of the Americas, a short hop from both North and South America, and its data-protection law gives people GDPR-style rights to see, correct and delete their data, with a regulator that enforces it.

Medellín home services
Starting lead-generation sites for home services in Medellín, beginning with remodeling and air conditioning.
- 11Visit ↗
Hocking Hills stays
Growing Hocking Cabins and Hocking Hikes, which help travelers find the right trail and the right cabin.

Two Sentence Horror
Every night in October, another door opens at Two Sentence Horror, with a two-sentence story waiting behind it. I built thirty-one doors, so I can't explain why the counter says thirty-two.
- 13
Postseason baseball
Usually picture-in-picture while I work on everything above. Rooting for the Brewers, the National League's top seed, and watching the Braves and Phillies open the playoffs against each other.

On repeat
Olivia Rodrigo, especially the new album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.”
This is a now page, an idea from Derek Sivers.
