I’m rebranding from fatzombi to fz42.
The main reason: professional contexts. Sharing a GitHub profile or email with “fatzombi” in client communications always felt off. The zombie avatar looked especially out of place in client Slack channels next to everyone’s professional headshots. That disconnect matters when you’re building trust as a security consultant.
fz42 solves this. It’s short, professional, and easy to communicate verbally. The “42” is a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference, because why not.
Technical details
- Both fatzombi.com and fz42.net point to the same CloudFront distribution
- Same S3 bucket serves both domains
- RSS feeds work from either domain
- No redirects needed—pick whichever URL you prefer
The content remains the same—technical notes, tooling experiments, and whatever problems I’m solving this week. Just with a handle that fits in a corporate Slack without raising eyebrows.
