Mostly organizing my dotfiles across Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD, however, I have really fallen for Ansible. I discovered at work awhile back, but was able to grok how to make and run a playbook, and I've been hooked since. It also finally allowed me to click the difference between Imperative and Declarative programming!

#12Working on the Restful Atmos Sleep Lamp, a smart bedside lamp that automatically shifts throughout the day and night for the circadian rhythm, reducing blue light at night and maximizing blue light during the day. There is a machine learning layer that learns your preferences and automatically adjusts the intensity of the light, similarly to the Nest Thermostat [0].
Also, shipping Bedtime Bulb v2 next month. This is a hybrid LED-incandescent design meant for the evening that is the best of both worlds: low blue light, high color quality, perfect compatibility with dimmers, 10x less flicker than incandescent, includes near infrared, low energy use, long lifespan [1].

#14Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…
Cool project!

#171. A port of linq-to-sql for Typescript (https://github.com/webpods-org/tinqer)
allowing queries like:
const activeAdults = from("users")
.where((u) => u.age >= 18)
.where((u) => u.active === true);
It'll go into webpods (https://github.com/webpods-org/webpods), which is like firebase but with hash chains underneath.

#18Deterministic guarantees, and corrective behavioral monitoring for ai agents (starting with claude code, and ADK). Think security + performance bumper rails. At the cost of 0 context.
I was the feature requestor for Claude Code Hooks - and have been involved in ai governance for quite awhile, this is an idea I'm excited about.
Ping below if you want to early beta test. everything is open source, no signups.
