Hi, I'm John 👋 (he/him)

If you want to know (maybe too much) more about me, then you might check out my website for links onward, including my blog, Entropy Arbitrage. But in short, in my spare time, I work on projects that amuse me, whether that means learning about some corner of technology, prototyping new ideas, or just writing out what might become useful later on down the line.

Here's a sample of topics I've been talking about, this past week or so on the blog.

Feel free to suggest ideas on any project or just wave at me to say "hi." Not literally poke, though. I can't actually see you through Codeberg.

And while I don't expect it, if you would like to help fund some of the time that goes to this weirdness, I won't turn away anyone who wants to check out my online store, which includes the occasional book (source of which will end up here after an "embargo" period) and general contribution links through Stripe, Liberapay, and Buy Me a Coffee...
