I build and write about frontier technologies. Mission-critical software, AI products, languages and platforms, music, and the occasional house.
Foundational systems in mission-critical places.
Frontier work, mostly. The day-to-day intersection of AI, real-world applications, and the systems that build and run them — usually hard, always fun, always worth it.

xWinLib · CreatorxWinLib — Windowing Framework for the Browser
Most web frameworks assume the user is doing one thing at a time. xWinLib doesn't. It gives the browser real windowing — draggable, resizable, layerable — plus the supporting infrastructure: pub/sub communication between windows, real-time element updates, efficient DOM manipulation and paints, and the advanced UI components serious applications need. Standalone, with other frameworks, or as the client-side extension of FGL: unified client and server, end to end. xwinlib.com

A funny thing happened on the way to teaching advanced AI core frontier tech…
Spent some time thinking about why foundational technologies compound where commodity infrastructure does not…
