Seriously though. If you haven't yet voted and care about living in a country with liberty, freedom of speech & association, or the due process of law, get out there and be counted.

Pretty crazy to think that a few days from now either our lives will continue along as usual or else we will be preparing to have the government descend into total chaos for the foreseeable future. I'll be honest: makes it a little hard to concentrate.

I see we're back to the Trump-years experience of nervously checking the news every morning to find out what basic rights we've lost overnight.

I’m working on a literary novel about a blind lighthouse keeper, whose plan to transmit subversive messages using patterns in the rotating beam is frustrated by nazis confiscating all the lanterns.

Working title is “All the Sea We Cannot Light”

I am once again posting that i need a new job! I'm an experienced full-stack web developer, focused on PHP and CMS work (CraftCMS, ExpressionEngine, even Wordpress (for my sins)). Also Laravel! I love Laravel! My JS skills are solid, I'm extremely nitpicky about semantic HTML and high-quality CSS, and I'm passionate about accessibility and the WCAG standards. I've got great SQL chops and i love data, too!

I'm a US citizen and a Canadian PR, I can work legally in either country. I'm also open to freelance contracts, anywhere you can legally pay me! 😉​

Please let me know if you have an opportunity!

My kids’ first day of school is tomorrow, and they have spent the day being as annoying as possible so I won’t be sad to see them go. Very thoughtful really.

A journalist recently noticed something strange about the New York City housing market. During the peak of the COVID crisis in NYC, the city lost close to seven percent of its population as people either died or moved away.

The real estate vacancy rate was close to twenty-five percent.

Since then, according to an array of parties with considerable interest in rents, the population of NYC has rebounded. As a result, housing is once again scarce and rents have soared.

Except…there’s no actual indication that the city’s population has actually rebounded, and certainly not by enough to explain soaring rental prices. After all, the city’s population had already started to decline before 2020.
