This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. It's a snapshot of what I'm focused on right now. Updated regularly to reflect my current work, projects, and life.

Life

I'm 29 years old, turning 30 soon. I'm currently living in Calgary, Alberta and I'm planning to move back to my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba soon. I'm currently dating Yvonne.

I hold myself accountable on a large number of daily tasks and habits with Beeminder.

I'm trying to build a community and accessible spaces for writers, makers, and learners through my Discord server, Patreon updates, and in-person Berry House events in Calgary.

Work

Regarding work, I have a few plates currently spinning. My biggest commitment right now is being founder and lead developer of my web development studio, 🍓 Berry House, taking on new clients. Our most recent project is building a wayfinder for Calgary organizations, called Calgary Groups.

I'm also currently a full-time writer on Medium where I try to write multiple longform (2,000-3,000 word) essays on a weekly basis about tech criticism, culture, and identity.

For beer money, I playtest for Lysto, and perform various interviews and case studies for Respondent and User Interviews

Writing

Beyond my essay writing, I write 750 words daily. I write technical articles on dev.to. I also try to write a new poem every day on my Tumblr, BK Poetry.

I've been trying out microblogging on Mastodon and Bluesky.

I am working on my tenth and eleventh books, a memoir focusing on the craft of writing and an imagist poetry chapbook. The working title for both is Poetics of Grace.

Education

I graduated in April 2025 with a Bachelor of Arts in English (Honours) from Mount Royal University with a 3.8 GPA. My honours thesis, How the English Degree Will Save the World, examined the transformative potential of literary studies and introduced "bloodwriting" as a bridge between Indigenous knowledge and digital practices.

I'm a lifelong learner and I'm currently enrolled in a couple MOOCs: Memoir and Personal Essay: Write About Yourself (Wesleyan University, Coursera); Become a Journalist: Report the News! (Michigan State University, Coursera); and Essentials of Linux System Administration (Linux Foundation, edX) .

Hobbies

I love coding open-source projects (like this site!) on GitHub but plan to move to Source.tube and GitLab. I keep track of my daily coding with WakaTime. See my projects for more details.

I play chess regularly, usually a couple games of bullet chess a day and at least one rapid and puzzle a day.

I practice my French on Duolingo and Clozemaster once a day.

I meditate with my Apple Watch for a few minutes each day. I read a little each day and keep track with StoryGraph. I try to reach 10,000 steps per day and 7.5 hours of sleep, tracking with both my FitBit and Apple Watch.
