Projects
I'm constantly working on new projects (it's a flaw) but these are some of my current ones, or ones I'm particularly fond of.
Cult of the Party Parrot
Cult of the Party Parrot is a site collecting and cataloging all of the party parrots we can find.
jsTodoTxt
I'm a fan of the todo.txt format and wrote a JavaScript library for handling it long ago. Recently I've been rewriting it in TypeScript and trying to make it more reliable and extensible.

Mushroom Notes
I've done a lot of reading online, and in books, about mushroom cultivation. I'm not an expert, but I am gathering all my notes here. My goal is to make it a collaborative site and a single place for proven techniques to be recorded.
