Things I’m building


What I build, and why. These are less side projects than the infrastructure of a life I am trying to lead deliberately.

Personal AI infrastructure

I started from a framework designed by Daniel Miessler , then replaced it entirely in August 2026 with a system I wrote myself. Two rule files loaded into every session, a register of standing decisions, twenty specialised capabilities, and an encrypted backup that verifies each archive before it is sent. One principle governs the whole thing: nothing counts as done without proof from a tool.

The Western Canon — reading tracker

The live scoreboard for the Western Canon project above.

A live tracker for my 366-book journey through Western thought. A companion essay on the why, the structure, and the full list is being rewritten and will return here soon.

This page is the running scoreboard.

How this tracker grows

  • Updated whenever I finish a book.
  • When a book has a dedicated review post on this blog, the title here becomes a link to it.
  • Until then, books are listed by title only.
  • Each period gets its own progress section once I’m actively reading in it.

Period I — Antiquity (in detail)

Period I has 68 books across History (20), Philosophy (23), and Literature (25). Currently working through the History track first (modern syntheses before primary sources).

I’ll publish per-book reviews here as the program advances.


A companion essay with the full list and rationale is in the works.
