About

Welcome to the Uncommon Stack.

Hi my name is Kent Gigger, I’m a self-learner with a curiosity for weird stuff—especially where startups, blockchain, SEO, product management, security, photography, baseball, and affiliate marketing create unexpected intersections (like a Venn diagram that would make your high school math teacher question her career choices).

This blog is where I make sense of all the things I’m building, breaking, learning, and occasionally regretting. Consider it my digital playground for experiments—router security hacks that actually work (unlike that “miracle” hair growth formula I bought), blockchain projects that aren’t just hype, unconventional life goal frameworks (because “become a millionaire” needs more specificity), baseball analytics that reveal hidden patterns (or confirm that, yes, your team’s bullpen really is that bad), and photography that capture moments others miss (mostly because they’re too busy taking selfies).

I write for other curious minds—people who like finding the edges of things, whether that’s through an obscure affiliate marketing tactic or a mental model that flips your whole approach to product strategy.

You won’t really find me on social media. I’m trying new things for my mental health and I’m more interested in building than broadcasting. My time goes into testing weird startup ideas (that I sell, cast aside or fail at), securing my digital footprint (because someone needs to appreciate my collection of Star Wars figurines when they hack my webcam), and maintaining spreadsheets of baseball data that would make statisticians weep. (Bold statement, I know). Oh, and I started playing golf (oof). Let’s learn that wierd mid life sport together shall we.

If that sounds like your kind of weird, welcome home.
