I started this page a while back with no clue what I was going to do with it. I  knew that having an email address @yourownname.com would be pretty cool and all, and I was sure I’d figure out something to do with it, but for a while it just sorta sat here. The initial inspiration to register dominicleotti.com and get the site started actually came from another site named after its creator: JackSpirko.com. There you’ll find a podcast: 5 Minutes With Jack, in which he constantly urges you to find something you’re passionate about, that one thing that if someone asks you about it you’ll spend an hour telling them all about it, and do something with it.

Learning new skills, becoming more capable, has always been an unrecognized passion of mine. When I get interested in a subject, I’ll spend hours reading books, combing blogs, watching videos and generally just absorbing everything I can about a subject. Unfortunately knowing and doing are two very different things, and while knowledge for knowledge’s sake is fine, doing produces tangible results. This site is all about those results, whether they be shining success or utter failure. Most of what you’ll read here will fit under the umbrella of homesteading and self-sufficiency, and you can get more specifics in my Inaugural Post.
