About
The part I still like best is the moment something finally clicks. Most of what I know came from building the thing, then building it again better. This page is less about the work than about what is feeding it right now: what I am reading, what is on repeat, and where the hours go when nobody is paying for them.
On the nightstand
Four I keep pressing on people.
I read to slow my head down. Fiction mostly.
A Little Life
Hanya Yanagihara
The hardest book I have finished. Put it down twice, went back both times.
Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
A whole world explained by a narrator who does not know he is explaining it.
Stoner
John Williams
A quiet life told plainly. The one I hand to people most often.
The Song of Achilles
Madeline Miller
I knew how it ended. It wrecked me anyway.
On repeat
Four that are always within reach.

Off the clock
Where the hours go.
01
Two kids. Better company than most adults I meet.
02
Throwing things out. At home and in the work: if it is not carrying weight, it goes.
03
Drawing in a journal nobody will ever see.
04
Reading more than is strictly reasonable.
05
Learning AI properly. Not the shiny demos, the parts that still work on a Tuesday.
Where I've been
I stayed. The job kept changing.
