• Tuning my own piano Oct 23, 2026 I built a tuning app for people who have never tuned a piano, then used it on mine. The math was the easy part. Calm and safe were the hard parts.
• Little Lights: Bible lessons kids can see, hear, sign, and do Oct 10, 2026 A playable mockup of a picture-first Bible learning tool for kids with Down syndrome. It's here so people can try it and tell me what to change.
• Proving an app is dead Oct 9, 2026 A live app leaves evidence. A dead one leaves silence, and silence has a lot of explanations. What I learned deciding which apps we could turn off.
• Barnyard Dogfight, round two: phones, a real helicopter, and a Barn Owl Oct 8, 2026 A week of changes to my remix of a co-worker's flight game: phone controls, a real helicopter, repairs in a dogfight, and an original helicopter with its own theme song. The test pilot found the bug I could only feel.
• Barnyard Dogfight: one small ask at a time Oct 3, 2026 A co-worker's browser flight game, remixed one request at a time into flying pigs, jet fighters, and a transforming robot. The most useful part was how it got tested.
• Green isn't proof Sep 25, 2026 A test run that tested nothing still exits 0. Check the count, not the check mark.
• Why a rocket, why a cacique Sep 18, 2026 What this site is, who writes it, and the one rule every post follows.
• A resume as code Sep 18, 2026 Markdown sources of truth, pandoc builds, and four targeted versions — no more resume_final_v7.docx.
