Projects

I went quiet for a few years (kids, work, life) and spent the time building. Some of this is live. Some of it runs in my house and nowhere else. Every page says which, every time.

They look unrelated. They aren’t. Each one is the same bet placed on a different table: computers can finally adapt to people, so the tools of a life (the phone, the feed, the hosting bill, the chore chart, the rideshare app) can be rebuilt to fit the people using them. Some friction is part of being human. Some friction is just bad design. The difference matters, and every project here lives on one side of it.

The question under all of it: what if you could do your greatest work while still being a person? That’s what I’m actually testing, project by project, on my own life first.

One more thing, and I mean it as standing policy: everything I build, I publish the recipe for. The recipes are free; hiring me is optional. Most of these write-ups are still in progress (each project page below says where its recipe stands), and they go up on the Pantry as they’re ready. If you read a recipe and would rather not do it yourself, that’s what the Kitchen is for.

Sherwood is the umbrella coop. Amber, Elsewhere, and RideCoop live under it. Every project is a door. Every page has a way to write to me.
