This page is all about what I have done. As things roll off the now page, they'll show up here. It was last updated on December 25, 2025.
What I finished building
- LocallyGrown.net Migration (2025) — A massive six-month project migrating a farmers market platform from dying Rails 3 infrastructure to modern SvelteKit. 70+ farmers markets, $1.3 million in annual sales, and a complete rewrite that touched every part of the system. The whole story is in my blog series.
- Random Recipe Project — A YouTube cooking series with 50+ episodes exploring recipes from everywhere: video game tie-in cookbooks (Skyrim, Dragon Age, Fallout, Star Trek), vintage classics (Betty Crocker, Julia Child, Galloping Gourmet), modern favorites (Kenji Lopez-Alt, Moosewood), and even 600-year-old medieval recipes.
- Kestrel's Nest Federation — Built out my self-hosted social media presence on YunoHost: Mastodon, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, Castopod, Gitea, and this blog. All running on a DigitalOcean droplet I've upgraded twice since 2021.
- BookWyrm for YunoHost — Contributed the BookWyrm integration package now used by other YunoHost deployments.
What I finished reading
Recent reads (see my full BookWyrm shelf for the complete list):
- I'm Starting to Worry about This Black Box of Doom by Jason Pargin (2024)
- The Armageddon Protocol by Dan Moren (2024) — completing the Galactic Cold War series
- All Souls Lost by Dan Moren (2023)
- Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree (2023)
- Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton (2023)
- Mickey7 by Edward Ashton (2022)
- The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi (2022)
- Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel (2022)
- The complete Galactic Cold War series by Dan Moren — spy thrillers across multiple star systems. Each story better than the last.
- Paper Girls — time travel adventure with kaiju tardigrades. The artwork will stick with me.
- All of Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries — a sentient security robot navigating human society. Deeply relatable as an autistic adult.
What I finished playing
- The Outer Worlds from Obsidian — darkly humorous anti-corporate science fiction. Short but loved every minute. (Now playing the sequel!)
- The Dragon Age series from BioWare — replayed the entire series straight through. My favorite game series for world building and storytelling.
- Elder Scrolls Online — caught up on all solo content. Found a good guild to socialize with.
What I finished watching
- All episodes of Taskmaster on YouTube. Nothing has lifted my spirits quite like this show.
Events attended
- Wild Rumpus 2025 — Athens' big outdoor Halloween parade festival
- Inuhele and CONpossible — annual Atlanta conventions where I'm on staff
- The B-52's Farewell Concert (January 2023) — in Athens, where it all started
