Welcome
You found me! This is my personal website, where I occasionally send people from my apps, my profiles, and maybe even a ROT13-encoded URL hidden in an HTML comment (if you know you know). It's not much, but my MySpace expired and, well, now here we are.
If you'd like to know more about me, try taking a look at my LinkedIn, Mastodon, or GitHub. I'm really quite friendly, so feel free to reach out if you need something.
Projects
PoetryCam
I wrote an iPhone app that takes a picture and turns it into a poem, limerick, or haiku, using AI. If you've got a (paid) OpenAI API key then you might like to get it from the App Store.
Just a QR Code
I was going to make another QR code at some web site I don't know. I thought to myself, why isn't there a site that just gives you a QR code? So I built one. No ads, no trackers, no sharing what I input with third-parties. Free, forever. This is my act of resistance. justaqrcode.com
Word Travels
I built an iOS app that picks a random English word, translates it into a random second language, and makes you guess which one it is. Get it from the App Store.
CroppyTime
I wrote a macOS app that makes it easy to crop images. Simply drag an image onto it, select a region, and hit return to export a cropped JPEG of the selected region. Download it directly from here.
The Weekend Background Check
As a friend prepares to go on a trip with a new boyfriend, the authors wonder just how much they know about the man in question. A couple of quick Google searches turn up nothing. Who is this mystery man? Thus begins a weekend project in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) where Google searches are just the tip of the iceberg.
Available in Paperback and on Kindle, Apple Books, Nook, and Kobo.
Vocabulary Camera
This little iOS app teaches you foreign vocabulary words by analyzing pictures. Pick or take a photo and it uses AI to select three items and present you with their translation, etymology, and use in a sentence. (Paid OpenAI API key required.) It's available on the App Store.
