Follow your curiosity.
Join the community.

Some days I'm making music or exploring somewhere new. Other days I'm building an engineering project or spending time in a game. This is where I share it all—and invite you to bring your own interests, make things, and play along.

Different interests. One place to connect.

Make, explore, and play.

Travel and films, music, engineering, and gaming all belong here. Pick what interests you—watch, listen, try a project, or join a game. There's no single main thing.

The person behind the work

Hi, I'm Eric.

I'm Eric, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. I work full-time in software, and my own time moves between music, travel, engineering projects, and gaming. This community is a home for that mix, not a platform dedicated to just one of those interests.

I use open-source software to own the means of production and publish on my own terms. I believe in a decentralized internet, and I share code and educational content to help others build independent spaces too.
