About

I am Brian. I build things that are supposed to make my own life easier, and then I write down what worked so I do not have to figure it out twice. Sometimes the things turn into a product. This site is where both halves live.

I live in Phoenix. I work on AI tools, automate my home, and write about what breaks along the way. The blog is the part that is free. The shop is the part that is not, when something I built is useful enough to package.

What you will find

• Posts that are short, in my voice, and try to teach you something I had to learn the hard way.
• Tags at the bottom of every post, so you can cluster by topic.
• Search if you remember a phrase but not the title.
• RSS if you are tired of algorithms deciding what you read.

What you will not find

• Sponsored posts. (I will not write a post because a vendor asked. I will mention tools I pay for, and I will say so.)
• Popups. (No exit intent. No "subscribe to keep reading." Subscribe via RSS, or do not.)
• Engagement bait. (No "you will not believe what happened next.")
• AI-tells. (No "in today's fast-paced world." No "unlock the power of." If you see one, email me. I will fix it.)
