title: Eric Yet To Come
---

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 25, 2025.

## Where I will be

- **[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

- Currently a few chapters into *Service Model* by Adrian Tchaikovsky. After that, the stack awaits.

## What I will be exploring

- **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.

## Where my head is going

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.
