Projects

Because of AI, one new thing I have become is a developer of software and apps and products. I think calling myself a software developer is a bit contentious among the "we were already here" developer-types, but oh well.

I'm having lots of fun doing it. These are all things I've finished or are in progress. If they're on here, I tinker with them in some fashion and may one day finish it.

Foundation

a simple website aggregating essays and blogs from interesting people, mostly tech-types, that I've found on xtwitter.

these people are sharing their ideas and thinking, for free, on their own websites.

complete. just sharing it now.
