Side Quests

GenAI-enabled side quests: the “why bother” and lessons learned from my AI-Assisted side projects, following “Simon Willison rules”

FrontPage 98 museum site of 60 pages reborn and optimized.

10k lines migrated twice. 50 students built it, AI resurrected it.

WordPress automation, built on a plane at 10,000 ft.

Health integration I use daily. First AWS Lambda.

Computer vision to prove Plinko math. Mark Rober inspired.

L-systems, Lorenz attractors, and a G1 Ark. Dad-powered AI builds.

Claude planned the shoot, Dad held the camera.

Today’s meditation on ‘what will happen to the professions’ c/o my annual tax return.

My field notes from (near) the frontier of building with AI. Click any tile to dive in.


Why document this?

A wise man said that if you get distracted by a side project, you should at least write about it:

README.md on GitHub explains what and how. These write-ups are the why, the journey, and cool stuff I think I learned along the way.

Apparently the limiting factor is ideas now, so.. let’s roll!
