Hi, I’m Charles.

I’m interested in what happens when you follow an idea a little too far: a lighter music app, an illustrated pickleball book, a robot that keeps making tiny web tools.

This site is where those things end up. The writing covers what I tried, what broke, and what I’d do differently. The projects are things you can read, use, or play.

A few places to start

• A lighter YouTube Music desktop app — a software experiment and its very specific macOS problems.
• The Unhurried Guide to Pickleball — two foxes learning a sport, and a few other things.
• The blog — what I’ve been writing lately.

Working with me

I’ve also written a personal operating manual: how I work, where I get stuck, and how to get the best out of working together.

You can find my code on GitHub, and a few things I’ve made on the projects page.
