My first computer caught on fire because I routed a wire too close to the GPU. I was twelve. I've been chasing that feeling ever since, except now I also have kids and doom-scroll guilt. jimmypiraino.com/blog/interne...

You know that feeling. Three hours in. There are diagrams now. Edge cases with a 0.3% chance of occurring. I built a quiz to externalize the voice you're too busy to hear while adding "just one more thing". stackandsignal.com/projects/ove...

The world is a lot right now, so I built dumb little web toys to make you smile. Find out what your houseplant named itself. Get a compliment from a very specific person. Generate corporate excuses so jargon-filled they're meaningless. joy.stackandsignal.com #SmallJoys #IndieWeb #JustForFun

My wife sewed this for our cat. It’s like a turtle shell sweater. This may come as a surprise but our cat hates it.

Had a really cool fungus grow in my raised bed. It’s called Lysurus mokusin, aka lizard’s claw. Apparently it’s edible in its early stages! I’m… going to pass though.
