What I've Been Up To
(Updated: July 16, 2025 from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA)
- In a few weeks I'll be jumping back into book-writing, working on another draft of the sci-fi novel I'm working on, Yore, freshly armed with feedback and other notes from my beta readers.
- It's been nearly a year that I've been taking ballet classes and I'm happy with the progress I've made and overall strengthening, limbering, movement-refining role its played in my life—though I'm still relatively new to center work and never having taken any kind of dance class before, stringing together collections of unfamiliar movements into something graceful and purposeful-looking is still quite the undertaking for me.
- The biggest change since I last updated my Now page is that I've been building iOS and macOS apps, alongside little webapps and other coded projects, and I'm having a blast with it. I started with a macOS version of a webapp I made a long time ago, Authorcise, and since then I've made a half-dozen or so other apps of various complexities and with an array of purposes. As I write this I'm working on a Markdown-based slide deck app, and I've got about a million other ideas of things I'd like to build next. I don't use LLMs for writing or design or anything like that, but having an AI copilot to help me work through code-related issues and pick up unfamiliar programming languages has been game-changing.
