Leave the tedious work to machines.
Keep your time for what you love.
I keep turning pieces of my own life into systems that run without my hands on them. Replying to email, posting to social media, coordinating plans with people, keeping a record of what I'm doing right now — I've handed off one slice of daily life after another to machines. What's listed below is the part of that I can show publicly.
This site is where I keep what I think and what I build — written for people, and for AIs to read too.
The PC rows (Pro/Air) record minutes I was actually at the keyboard; the Phone row records minutes an app was open. The taller the bar, the more of those 30 minutes were in use. Only "when and how much" is published — never the contents. Updates automatically a few times a day.

What I've been thinking (the blog), plus the latest from YouTube and Instagram. The daily record gathers here as one stream.
What I make
Evidence of what I think about. Each is a tool I built for myself, made to keep working with my hands off it.
A product you can actually buy is in preparation. The first one is planned to be a tool that helps people stay connected.
How I keep it safe
Handing pieces of my life to AI comes down to caring about exactly two things: never letting information leak, and keeping the damage small on the day something still goes wrong. Here's an honest look at some of that.
Never let it leak
Processed on my own machine
Most decisions are made by a small AI running on my own computer. The default design keeps content off external clouds.
Anything that could leak gets stopped mechanically
Every draft is automatically scanned for things like customer names, secrets, or personal data before it goes out. If anything trips that check, even a reply that would normally send itself gets held for a human to confirm. The block doesn't depend on anyone actually watching — it's built into the pipe.
Keep the damage small when something still goes wrong
Keeping it out of other people's sight
Depending on who the information came from, it stays invisible to other people and third parties. What happens in a conversation with A never becomes visible to B.
Keeping it out of AI's sight too
It's not just about hiding things from people — the AI itself is only ever given the data it actually needs. An unrelated conversation never reaches an AI that isn't handling it.
Never let one AI both 'know' and 'act'
An AI with broad internal knowledge is never given strong execution power — sending messages, running code, touching files. And an AI that can act outward (sending, posting) is only ever handed the narrow slice of information it needs for that one job. Keep knowledge and execution apart, and even a misbehaving AI is stuck being only the one that knows, or only the one that can act — never both.
And under all of it, one backstop: if there isn't enough information, or a condition isn't met, nothing goes out. The system is built to show or send nothing rather than fill the gap.
Contact
Send a message here and an AI running on my own computer will organize it and reply first, automatically. This form is actually the "AI that replies to your email" shown above, running for real. Whether you want to build together, cheer the project on, or just look around — you are welcome.
