I make small things and write them up — essays and guides, apps and games you can actually use, and distilled notes from the talks I'd rather not sit through twice.
A pickleball guide disguised as a children's book — two fox brothers, fifteen illustrated chapters about attention, weight, and joy. Inspired by Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby, and surprisingly not really about pickleball.
A bilingual, card-by-card itinerary for a nine-day December ski trip — toggle English and Korean, see where we stayed and what we did each night. Built so the whole family could use it.
A one-issue editorial — a warm case for a Seoul botanical-dye studio that turns plants into pigment and organic cotton into the softest clothes you could hand a brand-new person.
A straight-faced tribunal ruling on a pact between two friends to quit their jobs by a deadline. One reached "full unemployment"; the other didn't. Petty, ceremonial, and exactly as serious as it sounds.
The same animations built twice — Lottie's vector keyframes vs Remotion's frame-driven render — climbing from a bouncing ball to a 30-second launch video, with live demos and a verdict on when to use which.
I rebuilt the YouTube Music desktop app in Tauri instead of Electron — same app, native media keys, ~65× smaller — plus the macOS rabbit holes I fell into along the way.
The workshop. Apps you can actually use, pickleball reimagined as four playable games, and a daily heartbeat where an agent ships one tiny tool every single day. The badges say what's live and what's still on the bench.
I hate watching videos, so these are AI summaries of them — TL;DRs, key-moment screenshots, and pull quotes across AI, pickleball, chess, physics, and whatever else I fell into.
Which power-foam pickleball paddle to actually buy — the Boomstick, Loco, Honolulu foams, Six Zero Coral and more — from 350+ reviews and a reliability-weighted meta-ranking of 50 "best of 2026" lists.
A brutally honest personal operating manual — how I work, what I'm bad at, and how to get the best out of working with me. The manual that should come in the box.
