Independent software, a little off on purpose.

A one-person operation. The person behind it works across law, data, and disaster, and would rather build one good object than ten extractive ones. New things land here when a problem looks worth solving and sounds fun to finish.

Morass

A calm, turn-based strategy game of territory on living terrain. Place pins, watch the border between your ground and theirs settle like water finding its level. One universal app. And it collects nothing.

Tyche

A psychedelic randomizer for the small decisions you can't make. 27 official lists ship with the app (cuisines, dishes, Disney rides, workouts, scenarios) plus custom lists, multi-slot rolls, and five animation styles (slot, coin, dice, card, RPS prism). Named for the Greek goddess of fortune.

Embedding Playground

Words have positions. Measure the distance between them, do arithmetic on meaning (king − man + woman ≈ queen), walk through a word's neighborhood, and watch a polysemous word's competing senses fight over a single vector. Every calculation runs live in your browser on real GloVe word embeddings.
