Hi, I’m Josh

I make things.

Code is a medium that found me at an impressionable young age. I've been fortunate to make a career out of it, even if I say things like, "I'm not sure what I want to do when I grow up."

To avoid staring at a computer screen all day, I channel a lot of my creative energy into making noise. When not battling a fretboard, I engage in a fair amount of culinary debauchery, mostly of the breakfast and fermentation variety.

I also thrive on watching vampire-related content with my wife (or I've been compelled), and I'm still shocked that my daughter doesn't mind running errands with me.

This site is a collection of my musings, posted weekly for well over a decade. Fighting the good fight against the dead Internet, I still hand write all of my content. Most posts are technical in nature, but lately I've been focusing more on prose and less on the codes.
