What I’m Up to Now
Hello! Welcome to my now page! This was last updated on June 7th1, 2026.
Here’s what I’ve been up to lately!
Media
I’ve recently picked-up Sly Cooper 3 on my Playstation and I’ve been enjoying the blast from the past there. I was obsessed for a bit with Tiny Bookstore and spent a good 25 hours in it before rolling credits. Strong recommendations both!
Right now I’m watching a couple of seasonal Anime: my favorites being Akane Banashi, Witchhat Atelier, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Marriage Toxin. I’ve mainly been watching a lot of Alton Brown’s new YouTube channel as well as some other entertaining/educational cooking channels.
I’m currently listening to a book about very very large numbers. Well, it’s ostensibly about that—but it’s actually also about number systems as technologies and how different ones allow us to approach different large values. It also talks about when such gargantuan numbers come up in mathematics and science.
Athletics
I recently caved and bought a treadmill to be able to handle running in Florida’s insane heat and UV indices. I otherwise wasn’t able to run unless I went out prior to 6 AM but, with wake-up routines being what they are, that wasn’t happening. So we’ll see if this gets me the distance I’m hoping for.
Learning
I’ve been doing a lot of passive learning about web hosting, servers, and ATProto, the protocol undergirding BlueSky. I might just be AtProto-pilled. I don’t see a lot of potential in it at the moment from a widespread consumer perspective, but it gives me a kind of hope and optimism about the web that I haven’t felt in a long time.
Website redesign
I’ve been thinking a lot about how this website looks and functions for me.2 I’ve decided on a redesign plan that leans into the broader Atmosphere so I can own my data from across the web and feature it here. I want the website to be a real home on the ’net for me.
Work
In my day job, I’m a data scientist on the global strategy and insights team at Universal Destinations and Experiences. (So, the theme parks^[No it’s not the same owner as Disney. We’re a different multibillion dollar subsidiary of a multibillion dollar subsidiary., not the movie company.)
On nights and weekends, I fight crime dressed as an oversized arachnid work at the statistical/research consultancy I own called Technites. It’s from the Greek for “artisans” because I believe that research is, fundamentally, an art. And I want to partner with people looking to understand and do good and interesting things in the world with research.
