Things I’m building

What I build and why. These are not side projects. They are the infrastructure of a deliberate life.

Personal AI Infrastructure

My own version of a framework originally created by Daniel Miessler . I’ve been extending it with autonomy patterns inspired by OpenClaw, adding memory, life goals, 45+ skills, nightly autonomous councils, and a 7-phase verification algorithm. Turns a stateless language model into a persistent, context-aware assistant.

The Western Canon — reading tracker

The live scoreboard for the Western Canon project above.

A live tracker for my 367-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.
