The state of my life, in an occasionally updated nutshell. (Last updated January 1, 2025.)

Home

Amy and I continue to live with our two cats in our tiny co-op apartment in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan. This has been our home since 2021, and it suits us very well.

Work

After resigning from Google in July 2024, I returned to the world of open-source projects. In the fall, I was hired to document a new Memcached feature. I enter 2025 exploring other freelance writing opportunities, and am open to salaried work in the open-source space as well.

Amy continues to work at Columbia Law School as its new Head of Library Technology. In April 2024, she was elected to the board of the American Library Association's Core division.

Ongoing projects

I co-administrate Masto.NYC, a Mastodon server for residents and businesses of the New York metropolitan area. The server is legally owned by Five Borough Fedi Project, a charitable nonprofit that I co-founded in 2024.

In late 2024 I launched Venthuffer, an audio zine about the Steam Deck video game console. I completed a six-episode season in December, and look forward to publishing more in 2025. You can listen to it in any podcast app, or directly on the web.

I keep a personal blog at Fogknife.com, and have written hundreds of essay-length posts there over the past decade. I continue to update it occasionally.
