Who
I'm Darrell Nelson — based in Los Angeles. I've been building things on the internet since before most people knew what the internet was. Early ISP days, the music industry for a couple years, and back to infrastructure. That's the short version.
The long version is at darrellnelson.org. The honest version is at 7bd.org. The nostalgia version — BBS days, IRC wars, running a regional ISP at 18 — is at fsckit.com. The fiction is at inkrediblewords.com. Pick whichever one you came here for.
Why This Site Exists
Because I have a lot of websites. Some professional, some personal, some political, one non-profit. They don't all belong under the same roof — but people kept asking where to find everything.
So here it is. All of them. No algorithm. No sponsored content. No affiliate links. Just a list of things I built and why I built them.
The Range
There's a reason the domain name is what it is. These sites don't fit in a neat portfolio. I run a telecom infrastructure company. I also run a political accountability blog that names names and posts receipts daily. I founded a housing-first non-profit in Los Angeles. I have a fiction imprint for dark political thrillers. And I have three personal sites — one polished, one unfiltered, and one that's a love letter to the early internet written by someone who was actually there.
None of that fits on a business card. It barely fits on this page. But it's all me, it's all real, and it's all linked above.
The Political Stuff
I'm a Democrat. I live in Los Angeles. I care deeply about what's happening to this country. Epitome of Hatred and CU Next Tuesday exist because "agree to disagree" stopped being an option a long time ago.
Every post is sourced. If you're here for the roller coasters and coffee opinions, the political sites might not be for you. If you want the receipts — go there.
