Now

What have I been up to lately?

• I’m getting ready to relocate from the Bay Area to Seattle! We’re buying a house and moving to be closer to our support network. Buying a house is a lot of work, and so is moving…so that’s a little all consuming.
• I’m still managing a team of software engineers and user experience designers at Stanford Libraries, and hiring for a user experience designer. We’ve had a busy year, especially with rolling out new services to support remote instruction and research. Most recently, our team shipped Mirador 3.0.0, which has been in the works for over two years including its design phase.
• I’m still recording music, albeit not as regularly (with the impending move/house search/work). I released my latest album on cassette a few months ago. My latest experiments have involved me getting more familiar with Sonic Pi and SuperCollider, and once I’m a bit more settled I’m planning to dig in to Orca.
• I got my ham radio license in August; I’d been frequenting local nets on 2 meter repeaters, but again, haven’t had as much time lately.
• As fall approached, I’ve been shifting to listen to lower tempo music, which means a lot of Slow Attack Ensemble, Matt Jencik, Nadja, etc. I really like the new Hum album, and I’m really excited about the new Mizmor/Andrew Black collaboration. I like making mixtapes, so get in touch.
