What has my attention at the moment. This page is updated by hand — if it looks stale, it is.
Where things stand
Project status
Building
- Homeostasis — rebuilding the forecasting layer on real adherence data instead of estimates.
- Longbarrow — deterministic combat simulation and readable low-poly rendering.
Writing
- The Grammar of Grappling is in final revision. Twenty-two chapters, three appendices.
Reading
- Strategy, institutional power, and human behaviour — the operating education, not the casual kind.
Training
- Strength work on a calculated progression, daily mobility, and mat time that keeps feeding the book.
Elsewhere
- Managing a bar in Virginia Beach, which remains the best systems laboratory I have access to.
- Slowly working toward a bluewater boat.
