Spare time coding and publishing

Currently / idea stage

I’m restarting work on my long-time project The Local Yarn. This site will dual-publish to web and print, and include revision tracking as an integral part of the content. Lately I’m contemplating moving the project from using Pollen to my own Racket-based DSL.

I’d like to make a Lightweight image host so that it’s easy to upload, optimize, and use images on my websites.

I have a very lightweight email newsletter called Pollen Time for notifying people of upcoming events and projects.

Published projects

These are just some personal highlights. You can find more on my Github profile. Most of my programming work belongs to my employers and is not included here.
