Fun Websites/Projects I’ve Made & That I’m Not *completely embarrassed of:*
- Website Analyzer at sitereader.io
- Sumedh’s site, of course. Source code is at my public github repo, Homage.
- This site’s source code, which is by far the most front-end design work I’ve ever done - and by far the most work I’ve ever done on a side-project, ever. Built on a different stack but with the same look and theme (minimal-mistakes) as the one Sumedh used to build his blog site back in 2014. I even managed to use the same header images he did, which on its own took me literally days of AI-assisted attempts at discovering tooling to restore the images that had corrupted over 11 years. Turns out, it’s because they were actually, literally, un-recoverable - at least the ones I was using, which were from the last commit he made to his site - but I eventually found one, single commit he’d made in his history where the image files still had enough data to be recoverable.
- This MCP Server That Visualizes Commit Data*Note: Probably the most fun to work on of all of these
- Site Performance Test MCP Server
- My actually organized dotfiles
- This one was fun: easy bootstrap for new GitHub Actions. Written mostly to make my own, to auto-convert horrific-looking, confusing .css into pretty little descriptive Tailwind classes, without changing any aesthetics. I heavily AI-assist all of my UX now, because I’ve always hated front-end. Which is fine, but I like to actually know what it’s doing, too.
- I have about 20 other half- or mostly-written projects, most of which are listed in the bottom part below; hopefully most of them will have moved up to the top half of this screen by the time Halloween rolls around.

- Post August 31st Homage post
- Improve calendar scrapers & importers in general
- Update this post with data from my own github profile
- Post my update to this post as a blog entry on this site
- Use this post and this post to explain why a neural network trained on your brain would be better than you are at golf, or knowing your own name.
- Grab and analyze 2025 data from [this site about
- Integrate BrightData into my SingleSiteScraper to scale it and prettify it flights website](https://openflights.org)]
- Create MCP for my various important filesystems
- Follow [this format] for integrating schema.org and json data
- MCP server that auto-identifies appropriate schemas out of html code
- Read OpenAI’s MCP Server specs and make one with it
- Parse this very comprehensive list of json struct definitions
- Play around with these typescript data tools
- [in process] MCP server that scrapes all of my emails, docs, messages, regular websites, and creates yet more TODO lists and emails out of them - probably using Bright Data
- [‘attending working groups’, at least] Contribute to the ML Commons AI Risk & Reliability working group **note: My still-todo-list on Sept. 7th, 2025 **

- [] Load this as a best-practices README.md into core amazonq resources
- [] Update this post with data listed above
- Actually post the article listed directly above
- Read this article on NN performance, which was probably out of date the moment it was published.
- Work these two quotes somewhere into this website:
- [ ]“Selection bias is a hell of a drug.” ~F. Perry Wilson, MD, MSCE
- [ ]”The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.” ~C.A.R. Hoare (1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture)
- Figure out if I want to use AWS SageMaker {So far, I do not, although i have been using AWS & Amazon Q quite a bit)
- Create MCP out of HHSC compliance research that spits out a TODO-list
- Create MCP out of all Integrity Studio’s data and turns it into even more Todo-lists
- Self-host n8n, probably on Docker
- Look into this use case for BrightData as a quick-start
- Create some truly ridiculous stuff with my MailSlurp MCP server
- Another data schema to play around with/make an MCP server out of
