Ryddle
LIVE
A daily riddle game. One clue, limited guesses, streaks, and a smug little share card when you get it.
What I learned
Making something feel simple takes far more decisions than making it feel clever.
Sandbox
Things I've built for fun. Nothing here needed to exist — that's rather the point. Some are finished, some are quietly falling over.
Packet Panic
LIVE
A roguelike where you defend a system from hostile packets. Deploy firewalls, upgrade, and watch it all fall apart anyway. My day job as a video game, essentially.
What I learned
Game balance is just capacity planning with better graphics.
Which Mac?
LIVE
People kept asking me which Mac to buy. Now there’s a tool that asks what you actually do, how hard you push it, and what you want to spend — and then tells you.
What I learned
Most buying advice is bad because it answers the spec, not the person.
The Setup Engine
SOURCE
I reinstall macOS more than any reasonable person should. This is the setup wizard I wished existed — pick a profile, tweak the system, hit go, walk away.
What I learned
Scratching your own itch is the only reliable source of motivation for a side project.
