What I’m Doing Right Now

Last updated on Wednesday, August 05, 2026 from Wisconsin..

It’s a rainy day in Madison. But we needed the rain. July was dry and everything is Brown.

Recently

I’m building software with AI.

At the same time, I am spending more time “unplugged” and offline. When I am home, my phone lives in my kitchen, out of reach. (credit: Cal Newport) I am reading more, running more, and being a more present father.

I recently went on a trip to the Oregon Coast with my family and am training for the Madison Marathon this November.

I also recently got a Steam Machine and have been enjoying some couch gaming of my favorite PC games!
