I finally finished a little convenience tool I made for fetching lyrics for your currently playing Spotify song, called Spotify Karaoke.

Currently I'm working on an Electron app for automatically importing/managing screenshots and recordings from your Nintendo Switch, off the SD card. It matches the file name IDs (Nintendo uses these seemingly random IDs for each game) with the actual game name, moves it into a custom folder structure, etc.

Working on a dotnet deployment platform to make the backend as simple as deploying a static site. Point to the repo and let it handle deployment, scaling, and upgrades. Like netlify for dotnet.

Tech wise its hosting it all in kubernetes and building the yaml dynamically. Right now focusing on database support. The challenge is routing from external locations securely.

I was recently injured, but before that and as I recover I'm working on a couple of things.

- I'm making improvements to my small apartment brewing setup, making a lot of beer and doing some infrequent contactless growler deliveries to friends.

- I'm also playing with Phoenix LiveView[1] to make my own home brewing tools to replace the subset of BeerSmith(http://beersmith.com/) that I actually use.

I'm a magician who invents new technology at a FAANG.

I've started posting podcasts showing how I use the magician's toolset to invent new technology that's focused on doing the impossible in a way that meets users needs and dreams!

I also launched a webapp for me to keep track of the tricks I know: https://trick.app

Started with just playing around with spare electronics/Arduino, but now I've gotten sucked into the wonderful world of retrocumputing via this kit from Ben Eater. I've already built the basic kit computer, and now exploring 6502.org and other websites for extending it.
