Now / 28 Oct 2026

What I'm doing now.

A snapshot, not a feed. If this is stale, the date is the honest part. The blog is for finished writing; this page is for the state of the workbench.

Doing: Preparing applications to U.S. engineering programs through a community-college transfer pathway.
Preparing for IELTS.
Building and tuning this site: static pages, Pages Functions, D1.
Next: A smaller storm-drain prototype: a weaker motor, a sensor array that can be wiped clean, and a design that fails open.
A position ledger for the fund dashboard, so the portfolio numbers stop describing a portfolio I do not hold.
A public index of the Open-Source Self method, without publishing the archive.
Thinking about: Why tools for thought keep turning into tools for performance.
Whether friction is always a cost, or sometimes the thing that makes a goal worth having.
The difference between being legible and being understood.
On the desk: Qian Xuesen, On Systems Engineering.
Kropotkin, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution.
Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus.
