Now.

This is a now page — what I'm actually focused on at the moment, rather than everything I've ever done. If it's out of date, nudge me.

Working out the YouTube channel

Deciding on a format, and what the first few videos actually are. The pull is towards hardware and software together — building fun things that exist in the real world, not another screen recording of an editor. Less "here's how to do it", more "here's what I made and everything that went wrong on the way".

Deciding what mergeconflicted.com becomes

I own the domain and it's too good a name to leave parked. Does it become the channel? A separate home for the more technical stuff? A brand the projects sit under? Currently it's a browser tab I keep reopening and closing without deciding anything.

Writing longer things

Not tutorials, and not "10 tips for" anything. I want to write proper long-form pieces — the reasoning, the tradeoffs, the bits that get flattened out of a video because they don't fit the runtime. Some of them will be arguments I'm happy to have in public.

The projects

Three things are live and get attention in rotation: Forever Chess Games for the generative art, Jotura for the local-first notes app, and the stocks bots that explain the market every morning.

Building an Argentine grill

Currently deep in the research rabbit hole: V-shaped grates that drain the fat away, a crank to wind the whole thing up and down over the coals, a brasero on the side to burn wood down to embers and feed them under the meat. I'm still at the "do I actually want to take this on?" stage. I do. I've done for a while now.
