I'm exploring the intersection of AI and storytelling. I'm particularly interested in extracting a functional understanding of how we make meaning out of text to help build more human-centered software.

I'm writing on this at soft knowledge

See my github for obsidian tools, my OSS contributions, and various utilities.

Experiments is a little more free-form and aims to be interactive.

Playground is for nascent ideas that I haven't found a home for.

This site is a record of me navigating different mediums and trying to understand their strengths/weaknesses and also having fun with this medium itself.

I find the meta- appearing everywhere in my work so I'm using this styling to notate it. I think of it like an 'aside' in a stage play. It's a break from the form itself. Maybe there's something fundamental here about experience...

A shortlist of books that I like that you might too-

  • Images of Organization - Gareth Morgan: same thing seen a bunch of different ways
  • Shape of Design - Frank Chimero: I keep coming back to this as I build more stuff
  • Resonate - Nancy Duarte: beautiful presentation about presenting presentations
  • Tempo - Venkatesh Rao: getting elemental about decision making
  • Personal Knowledge - Michael Polanyi: making the intangible tangible
  • The Embodied Mind - Francisco Varela: where's the border between you and everything else?
