Things I’ve been building with AI agents, mostly on nights and weekends. Some are out in the world. Some run on a server in my house. The rest are still being poked at.
Shipped
An Economic Robotic Rabbit Hole — Tyler Cowen’s conversation with Daron Acemoglu, annotated. The highlighted passages open the eighteen places I stopped to learn more. Read it

Running on a server in my house
These aren’t reachable from the open internet, so there’s nothing to click.
Google Reader 2026 — The RSS reader I missed. Add a feed, press j and k to move through it, m to toggle read. Categories, a phone reading view, and one-key clipping into Obsidian.
WhisperSync — An audiobook player that transcribes with Whisper and keeps the transcript scrolling in sync with the audio. Search across segments, bookmarks, speed control.
Avian Visitors Companion — Records the backyard, runs the clips through BirdNET, and keeps a dashboard of what’s been singing, with a page for every bird.
Public Art Map — A mobile photo feed and map of Atlanta’s public art, seeded from Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap. It rebuilds a 2015 experiment that mapped Instagram’s #publicart posts until that API went away. 2015 source code
LEGO Library — A photo catalog of finished builds, one slideshow per set.
Library of Everything — A Jellyfin media library that generates a note for every show and album it takes in.
Home Lab — The Docker and Caddy stack the projects above run on.
Machine Sync — Syncthing keeping project folders in step across machines. Peer to peer, no cloud.
Still being poked at
Ask The Aux — A shared-device party game. The group answers one prompt with songs and ends up with a playlist and a round recap. No hosted version yet. Source code
Comic Generator — Turns a text file into a three-panel comic strip. A cartoon universe is a JSON pack plus a folder of reference art, not code.
Murphy Makes Math — Printable first-grade math worksheets built on the things my son already likes: comics, stories, and drawing.
Folding Surprises — Murphy’s fold-in drawings, animated from photos of the paper so every line stays his marker. First up: the Toilet Monster. See them
Dog Hog — My son’s own comic about a scientist dog who rides a motorcycle. The AI handles the scans, layout and cover; the pencil lines stay his.
Tour de Sacs — A walking and biking game that turns the cul-de-sacs in my neighborhood into collectibles.
Hike and Seek — Printable bingo cards for family hikes, built from the real plants, landmarks and features of one trail. First up: Cloudland Canyon.
