Now

This is a /now page, in contrast to the about page.

Fatherhood

With the birth of my daughter Daisy earlier this year, each of my family of four are a different generation: I am Gen Y or Millennial, my wife is Gen Z, my son is Gen Alpha, and my daughter is Gen Beta.

Running lilAgents

I’m Co-Founder and CEO of lilAgents. We used to be a marketing agency, and this year we pivoted: lilAgents now automates the busywork at medium-sized businesses, with a person on our team watching the work, and everything set up in accounts you own. If you want the how, I wrote up how to create an AI native company.

Dylan Baker and I also started a podcast, Retooled, where we talk with business leaders about how they’ve adapted to change, and I write Use It or Skip It, a newsletter on new AI for business owners.

Speaking engagements

This year I’ve been featured on AI at Work with Neil C. Hughes, Keep Hustling, and Prompts2Products Live, and I’ve given talks at The Build Exchange, hosted by The AI Institute for Life Improvement here in Tacoma, the Grok Bot meetup in Seattle, and Tacoma Creative Pros. I’m actively looking for more speaking opportunities, so please book me if you’d like to have me.

Making Stuff

I’m making things for Obsidian including Vault CMS. You can check out the full list of the Obsidian plugins and themes I’ve made.

Also building and maintaining Astro website themes Astro Modular, Axis, Coffer, and Continuum, plus Zeku, my writing app for Astro sites if you’d rather not use Obsidian. The paid ones are on my store.

More things I’m creating can be found on the projects page.

Writing every day

I’m writing daily notes to document / chronicle life happenings, including family milestones, quick wins, and whatever else is on my mind.

I had other daily tasks to tack on to it for tracking purposes, but after the middle of the year I haven’t been doing as well keeping up with them.

Thankfully, I have managed to finish a written entry for every day this year so far.

Making videos

I make videos when I have something to show, mostly on the lilAgents YouTube channel these days, along with X and LinkedIn. My own channel gets the occasional upload.

Getting Involved In Church

My wife Esther and I have made deliberate choices to be more involved in our local church, so we’ve been doing that.
