Deep-ish Thoughts

Occasional long-form essays on tech, design, farming, or whatever seems interesting at the time.

🛠️ Imaginary Products

Half-baked, never-shipped, slightly absurd inventions from the back of the mint drawer. If you build one, we’re not responsible. But we’re also not saying don’t.

  • SockSync
    A Bluetooth-enabled sock organizer that plays sad trombone sounds when you lose a mate.

  • MoodMoat
    A decorative desktop moat that fills with glitter or sludge depending on your browser history.

  • TimePad
    A sticky note app that alerts you when you’ve ignored your own tasks for more than 72 hours.

  • Goatify
    A browser extension that replaces all stock photos of businesspeople with goats in suits.

  • Crumbler
    An AI that gives you the perfectly wrong summary of any long article so you have an excuse not to read it.

Mintlets

Tiny brain nuggets, handy tools, and digital ephemera — fresh from the mental mint press.

  • CattleCalc
    My back-of-napkin ranch math, digitized and duct-taped.

  • Dreamcatcher
    A surreal prompt-to-story generator for your weirdest sleep scribbles.

  • LocalBites
    A beautiful restaurant directory skeleton you can fork and fill.

🧰 Project Showcase

A curated shelf of inspiring finds — clever tools, delightful experiments, and the occasional rabbit hole:

  • RetroMap Revival – A beautifully interactive mashup of vintage maps and modern overlays. Zoom into the past.
  • CSSynth – A sound toy built entirely with CSS and HTML. Surprisingly tuneful, occasionally glitchy.
  • BookNest – A reading tracker that feels like a birdhouse: cozy, colorful, and way too proud of its graphs.
  • ObscureAPI Explorer – An app that discovers and demos weird, under-loved APIs (like the one that returns random historical insults).
  • PocketPlanet – A WebGL demo where you grow a tiny world in your browser — complete with weather and moods.

We didn’t make all of these, but we kind of wish we had. Enjoy poking around.
