A wiki cataloguing those things small and mundane that I find useful to revisit from time to time.

Reading
In 2022 I started keeping reading lists of all the books I read in a year.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are a core part of how I internet. I export my bookmarks to make sure I don’t loose them.
Random thoughts
Stuff that could become a blog post one day.
- Why I like JavaScript, a confession
- Dadification, a sloppy explanation of what I mean when I say “dad-ification”
Computers
Archival
- PocketForth is a forth system for classic Mac OS.
- Screen readers is a collection of miscellaneous thoughts and notes about screen readers to help folks who don’t use them form a mental modal of how they do what they do.
Projects
Many of my projects also hang out on the domain small and nearly silent.
Games
- hill is a browser-based demake of Alto’s Adventure that I made as a fidget toy for myself to play during meetings at work. Play the game today!
- eli’s broughlike is a browser-based broughlike game that also works on mobile. You are the hexagon.
- puzzle dungeon is a rogue-like dungeon crawling game where you play as a rover receiving commands about how to traverse the space. How many levels can you navigate?
Toys
- pico cam is a web-based camera for when you don’t have a Gameboy camera in reach.
- pico cam for iOS is a re-implementation of the web-based pico cam using Swift and SwiftUI.
- lut cam is a web-based camera with a bunch of preset LUT profiles baked in for you to choose from. It produces images that look sort of like what you can get out of a single-use camera.
- dither is a simple website that applies Floyd–Steinberg dithering to an uploaded image.
- pixel pixel pixel pixel pixel pixel is a tool for making pixel art images. It is the follow up to a previous application, pixel art.
- tuner is a little web app to help me tune a guitar that I suddenly found myself in possession of — it does it’s best to tell you what note it is picking up through a device’s microphone, and it can play some notes as a reference point.
- bp-sand is a metronome. Each beat generates a grain of sand.
- sand is a simple cellular simulation of falling sand. I may transform it into a more general purpose terrain generator. Click and wiggle the mouse to add grains of sand.
- life is a mostly complete implementation of Conway’s Game of Life. I don’t love the user interface.
Tools
- playground is a JavaScript jungle-gym for doing experiments and sharing scrappy fiddles. Check out the introductory blog post for more info.
- ink n switch is a simple note taking application for the browser inspired by the work done at ink and switch. You can type and draw with it.
- pomo is a slightly threatening pomodoro timer in JavaScript.
- beak is a toy Markov chain generator and madlib maker for node and the browser.
- Moon maker is a bash script companion to help bring text editing beyond single text files.
- Mynah is a bash script that can help you tend to a digital garden by turning a directory of markdown or org-mode files into a wiki.
- sandborb is an easy-to-embed web server that is scriptable in lua. Not really super useful, yet.
- chupacabra is an experimental stack-based, array-oriented programming calculator (not really a full language) implemented in lua.
- Guava is a stack-based, concatenative language and editor for the browser meant to be used for scripting and as a DSL for small web projects.
- quest log isn’t a todo list. It is for logging quests…that need to get done.
- ldb.js is an itsy-bitsy database for the browser. Useful for trivial projects and other toys on the web.

- pomopomopomo is a teeny tiny (not totally complete) pomodoro timer for forth.
