A maker's journey through code, ideas, and digital experiments
This is where ideas take shape and curiosity drives creation. Each project represents a moment of exploration—some recent and actively evolving, others from earlier phases of learning and experimentation. Together, they form a narrative of continuous discovery.
Rather than organizing these by technology or purpose, they're arranged chronologically to show the natural evolution of interests and capabilities. This is how digital gardens grow: organically, following curiosity rather than predetermined categories.
These projects represent my most recent areas of investigation and active development:
Exported from https://www.val.town/x/c15r/ContextualLite" - Another recent project (July 2025) exported from Val.town. The name "contextual" and "ContextualLite" suggest this may be related to context management, possibly for AI applications, data analysis, or contextual computing.
Export/backup exported from https://www.val.town/x/c15r/Chat" - A recent project (July 2025) that appears to be a chat application or tool exported from Val.town, which is a collaborative programming platform. This suggests experimentation with real-time communication features.
This project is for prototyping a SQLite Database on EFS, and connecting it with AWS Lambda" - A recent project (2025) focused on exploring the combination of SQLite databases hosted on Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) with AWS Lambda functions. This is an interesting architectural pattern for serverless database persistence.
These projects capture earlier phases of exploration and learning—each one representing a different curiosity or technical investigation:
Distributed search engines using BitTorrent and SQLite" - An innovative project combining BitTorrent protocol with SQLite databases to create distributed search engine functionality. This represents an interesting approach to decentralized search infrastructure.
A wedding website project for Emily and Chris. The description indicates "If you're looking for the site, it's at" suggesting this repository may contain the source code for a wedding website that was hosted elsewhere.
jspm/React boilerplate" - This is a boilerplate project combining JSPM (JavaScript Package Manager) with React. JSPM was an early module loader and package manager for JavaScript that provided ES6 module loading capabilities before they became native.
A project from 2014 with CoffeeScript codebase. The repository title "30" and description "2014-30" suggest this might be related to a 30-day challenge or experiment from 2014.
A Dark Room - A Minimalist Text Adventure" - This is a fork/version of the popular minimalist text-based adventure game. The game starts simply with the player waking up in a cold, dark room and gradually expands into a complex resource management and exploration game.
A Fast, Open Source JavaScript, Canvas & Audio Implementation for iOS" - This is a project focused on providing JavaScript, Canvas and Audio capabilities for iOS applications. It appears to be a native iOS implementation that bridges web technologies with native performance.
app-UI is a collection of user interface components that may be helpful to web and mobile developers..." - This appears to be a UI component library or collection of reusable interface elements designed to assist developers in building web and mobile applications.
Embryonic Programming: Turning projects into Creations" - This appears to be a JavaScript framework or library focused on the concept of embryonic programming. The name suggests it might be about creating projects that can grow and evolve organically, potentially related to generative or evolutionary programming concepts.
Christopher's personal blog and website hosted on GitHub Pages. This repository contains blog posts, project showcases, and serves as the main web presence. The site uses Astro as the static site generator and includes various blog posts dating back to 2012.
WIP :: intelligent copy/text testing" - A work-in-progress project focused on intelligent text or copy testing. This appears to be a tool for testing textual content, possibly for A/B testing, content validation, or automated text analysis.
