Roadmap
Our initial discussions will kick off over the next few weeks, as I’m launching the site now and I will begin sharing my thoughts and interpretations of Zen philosophy on the blog. This blog is definitely a work in progress; it will be built over the long term with posts, videos, essays, reviews, and many other items covering a range of topics, primarily focusing on meditation, relaxation, philosophy, mindfulness, and more.
I do want to mention that I’m using some tools, including AI, to help me build the website for now. This assists with certain graphics and layouts for the blog. However, I want to be clear that I do not use AI for any of the written content or videos.
I’m committing to a cadence of one post (whether it’s a blog entry, essay, or video) every two weeks. This frequency might change over time, and the number of posts could increase, but I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver, so I’ll start with this experimental pace for now.
For my very first blog post, I plan to discuss what life means to me and how I perceive things from my own perspective. In my opinion, there’s no single “right” or “wrong” way to view the world, just different approaches. I hope we can engage in deeper discussions on these topics within the forums section. Like the blog itself, the forums are established but far from their final state; this website is a living document that will change over time, just as we all do.
Where we’re going from here
- Blog launch: June 2, 2025
- Bi-weekly content publications: Begin June 16, 2025
- Launch the YouTube channel: Before end of year (previous progress stalled)
- Publish second work of fiction (already in progress): May 1, 2026
These are some aspirational goals that I’ve set for myself, and I hope to complete them as I really enjoy writing and reading about Zen and mediation. My ultimate goal from this blog is to share ideas, engage in discussions with the community, learn and grow together, and generally enjoy our time here.
Welcome to Zennado, and be on the lookout for my first post that will be available on June 16th!
Update Oct. 20, 2025
Hello Zennado, I am writing today to give you an update on the remainder of our 2025 roadmap. I’m pleased with the amount of writing I’ve been able to get done, and I’m looking forward to my new approach of creating more posts. Over on the page titled The Art of Being Nothing, I laid out how I will move forward with blog posts in a new “Acts” format, this way, it will allow users to read in a more progression focused manner, rather than touching on random topics that I find interesting. We will start with Act I and work our way through to Act X.
At first, we will touch on our assumptions, and open our awareness, but eventually, once we reach Act X, we will meditate together and simply be. At that point, I will write about whatever topic I find interesting because we will be living in the moment together, having gone through the Acts as a community we will be at the same place.
YouTube Update
I have been attempting to launch the YouTube channel for several weeks but it’s a lot for me to learn and it’s taking longer than expected. On top of the blog posts, I am also working on my second novel, I just started working a new job, and I have my MBA course work that all demands a lot of my time. So, I will continue to work on it, and I want to launch it before the end of the year with at least one or two videos done (even if they’re simple videos, just to get my feet wet).
