Hi, I'm Justin!
I make simple, useful software.

PROJECTS

LATELY

I finally pushed out a post about screen readers. I'll give myself a little break and then get back to writing code — hoping to finish a few more projects this summer. Check my /⁠nuggets for updates.

Tired of hearing about software? Understandable. Take refuge in /⁠notebook-love, /⁠enjoyables, or some /⁠nuggets. Everything else, unfortunately, is about computers. Sorry about that.

Here's a bit more about me: I look like this, sort of. I love soccer, tennis, basketball, ping pong, barefoot running, squatting, Brussels sprouts, math tutoring, teaching, black Ticonderogas, cats, Florida, and hammocks. I wish I read more books and doodled more doodles. I've already wasted too much life on screens. Don't make the same mistake -- remember to touch grass today! But not until you're finished looking around here. Consider listening to one of my favorite albums while you browse, too. That's always fun.
