Now

Thinking about

What life looks like as a new (mostly) empty-nester, which is a stranger adjustment than I expected. And what it really means to think alongside AI, which is a different thing than using it to go faster.

Tinkering with

A mesh networking project. Small vibe-coded tools I run on a couple of old Mac minis (named Elaine and Peterman) that live in my basement. The git repo behind this page lives on Elaine, which is either resourceful or a single point of failure, depending on the day.

Learning

Getting back to photography with an X100VI. I’ve started 52 Frames and a small gallery on Adobe Portfolio. So far I’m playing with film recipes and trying to leave the images alone afterward.

This summer

Coffee and food in Old Town. Easy hikes. Slow runs. A little more of both than last season, which isn’t saying much.
