Now

Last updated: February 6, 2026

This page, inspired by the now-legendary post by Derek Sivers, contains a quick overview of what I’m doing right now. I try to update it every couple of months (but that doesn’t always happen).

Networking and homelab

I have spent most evenings this winter working on a full upgrade of my home networking setup and building a “homelab” for tinkering on technical projects. You can read the first post in a series of writeups about my journey here (the full series is still a work in progress).

emacs

I have been getting back into emacs lately, trying to move away from noisy and complicated tools and back into something that I have full control over and isn’t dependent on some company’s cloud.

AI

Like everyone else in the universe, the past couple of years have been a very intense journey into a new future where generative AI is everywhere, particularly in tech circles where I spend my working day. I remain terrified by it and its implications for the future, despaired by its impact on the planet, our minds and our collective humanity, and unable to resist its utility.
