This page is all about what I am planning on doing in the not too distant future. As I get to them, they'll leave here and appear on my [now page](/now). It was last updated on December 21, 2022.

## Where I will be
|
||||
|
||||
- Athens, early January 2023, for the B-52's final concert of their farewell tour
|
||||
- Las Vegas, mid-January, for [my employer](https://iinteractive.com)'s annual all-hands gathering
|
||||
- Atlanta, late January, for [Inuhele](https://inuhele.com), Atlanta's annual Tiki Weekend. I'm on the staff there and it's loads of fun
|
||||
- Atlanta, early February, for the [Atlanta Steampunk Exposition](https://www.atlantasteampunkexpo.com). I love this crowd. The theme this year is "steampunks in space" and I'm really looking forward to it.
|
||||
- **[Inuhele](https://inuhele.com)** (January 23–25, 2026) — Atlanta's annual Tiki Weekend at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park. I'm on staff and it's always a blast.
|
||||
- **[CONpossible](https://www.conpossible.org)** (February 6–8, 2026) — I'm the Costuming Track Director for this annual convention at the Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta. This year's theme is "Through the Faerie Ring"—magic mixed with technology should be a lot of fun.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I will be building
|
||||
|
||||
- **Loops for YunoHost** — I'm planning on packaging [Loops](https://loops.video), an alternative TikTok-style video platform, for the YunoHost self-hosting ecosystem. Another piece in the Kestrel's Nest federation.
|
||||
- **LocallyGrown.net features** — Now that the massive Rails-to-SvelteKit migration is complete, the real work is ongoing: new features, better tools for market managers, and growing the platform that serves 70+ farmers markets.
|
||||
- **More tiny apps** — The pantry inventory app reminded me how satisfying it is to build small, focused tools that solve specific household problems. More of those are coming.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I will be making
|
||||
|
||||
- **Corset vest** — A sewing project I'm genuinely excited about. The fabric is ready, the pattern is chosen, I just need to make time.
|
||||
- **Leather projects** — Supplies have been sitting ready since fall. Time to actually use them.
|
||||
- **Random Recipe Project episodes** — My YouTube cooking series has been on hiatus during the LocallyGrown marathon. Ready to get back to the kitchen camera.
|
||||
- **Podcast episodes** — Both Eric Says Hi and Brothers Grimm Lunch have been quiet too long.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I will be reading
|
||||
|
||||
- The rest of [Dan Moren's](https://dmoren.com/) [Galactic Cold War](https://dmoren.com/writing/galactic-cold-war/) series. After I finish my current book, I'll have one short story and one novel to go.
|
||||
- Currently a few chapters into *Service Model* by Adrian Tchaikovsky. After that, the stack awaits.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I will be watching
|
||||
## What I will be exploring
|
||||
|
||||
- [The Rings of Power](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Power-Season/dp/B09QH98YG1). As much of a Tolkien nerd as I am, it's shocking I didn't watch these as they came out, but my plate was full. This has risen near the top now.
|
||||
- **n8n automations** — The standup prep workflow opened my eyes to what's possible. I keep noticing small friction points that could be automated away.
|
||||
- **Claude Code workflows** — Finding new ways to collaborate with AI on rapid prototyping. The two-hour pantry app was an example of what's possible when you're sculpting code instead of typing it.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I will be playing
|
||||
## Where my head is going
|
||||
|
||||
- [Gloomhaven](https://cephalofair.com/collections/board-games/products/gloomhaven). My copy arrived shortly after the pandemic started and it's just been sitting here. I really want to play it so I just need to decide if I'm going solo or if it's time to find a party to play with me.
|
||||
- [Etherfields](https://etherfieldsapp.awakenrealms.com). I kickstarted this game shortly before the pandemic and it only recently arrived. I have friends in mind I want to play it with.
|
||||
- [Sleeping Gods](https://www.redravengames.com/sleeping-gods/). Another pandemic arrival that I need to either just play solo or find a group to play with.
|
||||
The LocallyGrown marathon consumed everything for six months. Now I'm slowly emerging, rediscovering equilibrium, and reconnecting with the creative projects that feed my soul. The self-hosting work continues to expand Kestrel's Nest. The making and creating is resuming. The writing is happening again.
|
||||
|
||||
Forward motion, one project at a time.
