Now

• Just moved to Minneapolis from Owatonna, Minnesota. I’m looking forward to trying out a more urban lifestyle (I’ve been living in towns with between 20,000 and 30,000 people for the last 20 years, more than two-thirds of my life) and exploring a variety of new professional and personal opportunities.
• On sabbatical working on a wide variety of projects, starting to transition into job searching. I’m publishing weekly updates on what I’m up to. You can also look at the projects list.
• I recently finished writing and published an online textbook called Grok TiddlyWiki, a learning resource for the wiki/notebook/customizable application environment TiddlyWiki. I use TiddlyWiki extensively for my own work and personal notes. In addition to filling a gap in TiddlyWiki’s community, the book is an exploration into building learning materials of all kinds with TiddlyWiki, including features like an integrated spaced-repetition reviewer.
• I’ve also started a series of screencasts about TiddlyWiki on my YouTube channel.
• Still working on learning the mandolin, which I started at the beginning of last year.
• I’ve been living in Minnesota for eight years, and I’ve heard it’s illegal to be here for ten without owning a boat, so I bought a cute little 12’ solo rowboat and have been having lots of fun on several of our ten thousand lakes.
