Fun Websites/Projects I’ve Made

Projects 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 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.

Active TODO List

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

Up Next:

  • Write contributing guidelines (move fast, break things, plz don’t break everything)
  • 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
