Helping others with their mental health (after my own struggles). Worked as a software dev/manager for a decade, went through workaholism, burnout, then alcoholism, depression, all that. Doing a ton better now, and taking some time off to write about what I went through and hopefully help out others going through the same thing some: https://depthsofrepair.com/
I'm working on FreeInChicago, a site for finding all the free activities to do in the city. I love Chicago and the incredible wealth of free festivals, museums, public art, music, parks, workshops, and so many more activities available to appreciate. I've found there isn't a good way to discover them though so I'm building the tool that I've always wanted. Right now I have a landing page up, have done some work on so…
I'm one of the people working on Prodigy Reloaded ( https://prodigyreloaded.com ), recreating the Prodigy server to work with the client software in DOS and Mac. The new server software is written in Elixir. My part has been to generate news headlines and weather maps using current news and weather information. The most interesting part for me has been deciphering the 1980's era graphics format, NAPLPS, which Prodigy…
I've been working on a kind of strategy game called Fall of an Empire ( https://fallofanempiregame.com ), it's a bit like a mix between Crusader Kings, Total War, Mount and Blade type games (just the overworld, not the battles), but rather than expanding you're trying to prevent an empire from collapsing. It's a ton of work, especially with the number of systems - you've got combat, resource management, settlement de…
Not a sexy idea, of course. However, I couldn't find any solution that fit my needs for my SSG blog. Services like Cloudinary, and Imagekit are too developer-focused, and popular image sharing websites like Imgur don't allow backlinking.

I also recently left the Big Tech world after 11 years at Google, so I'm trying to figure out what comes next. (I don't think I can make professional YouTuber pay the bills). If it's not inappropriate to mention here, my resume is at https://hire.masto.me/
It allows querying multiple resource kinds via their relationships (i.e. replicaset owns pod, service exposes deployment…) and easily crafting custom response payloads.
Lately I’ve introduced aggregation functions and the ability to visualize query results using ascii art.
This is a daily driver for me and I’m now mostly focused around features that will make it a complete kubectl alternative.
I’m working on a new game. I’ve been trying to get back to the basics of the adventure genre. A fun and engaging story, choices, strategic combat and a simple, straightforward approach. No microtransactions, no advertisements. No networking! The game is meant to function completely off line. The game will start with a mobile release in probably October and should be available on Steam shortly after. I’ve been using F…
