Welcome to Unvex

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Theodore, and I'm a human being. This website is a space for me to document my personal projects and products, favorite tools, and fun explorations. I hope it can help you learn, think, and feel. 🤓 🤔 🥺

Everything is a work in progress. You can read more about me on my about page. Be sure to read the disclaimer. Please contact me if you have any questions or need help with anything. 🙂

If there's one idea that I'd offer you right now, it's that if you apply your mind, body, and heart over time, you can grow and learn to be and do anything. This is the power of compounding 1% every day:

Day 1: 1.00×1.01=1.011.00 \times 1.01 = 1.01

Day 2: 1.01×1.01=1.02011.01 \times 1.01 = 1.0201

Day 3: 1.0201×1.01=1.0303011.0201 \times 1.01 = 1.030301

⋅⋅⋅\cdot \cdot \cdot

Day 100: 1×(1+1100)100=(1.01)100=2.701 \times \left(1 + \frac{1}{100}\right)^{100} = \left(1.01\right)^{100} = 2.70

After just 100 days, you will have grown by 170% from where you started.

The meaning of Unvex​

Unvex is a word I’ve held onto for years. It means more to me than just a domain name—it’s a guiding principle.

To unvex is to reverse vexation: to soothe, enlighten, inform, calm, console, and clarify. It's the opposite of confusion, noise, or frustration. In short: to unvex is to help people learn, think, and feel—more clearly and deeply.

The root word: vex​

Vex is a short, sharp, versatile word. According to Merriam-Webster, it means:

  • To bring trouble, distress, or agitation
  • To puzzle or baffle
  • To irritate or provoke

Synonyms include annoy, bother, torment, perplex, and harass. One who is vexed experiences frustration, confusion, or even suffering.

The prefix: un-​

In English, un- reverses a verb’s action:

  • Unfold (to undo a fold)
  • Undo (to reverse an action)
  • Unvex (to remove vexation)

So to unvex is to do the opposite of vex:
To clarify, to comfort, to help.

That's what I want this website to do.
That's what I want Unvex to stand for.
