I keep busy, it's sometimes a problem...
Software
Outside of my day job and role at Hardcover, I have a few solo software projects—mostly surrounding book and film data.
Marian - A book data assistant
Marian the Librarian helps Hardcover contributors and other online book data enthusiasts view and capture book metadata from popular retail and catalog sites. With a single click, the sidebar pulls down titles, contributors, identifiers, descriptions, cover art, and more so you can manage clean data without endlessly scrolling, copying, and pasting.
Site support includes: Amazon, Kobo, Goodreads, The Storygraph, Google Books, ISBN Search, and more.
A TRMNL plugin for Hardcover users to display account statistics and goals, as well as books recently read, currently reading, or those on those ever-growing too-be-read pile.
Criterion Closet Picks - A semi-automated Letterboxd account
A complete accounting of Criterion Closet visits in Letterboxd list form. It's run by a series of python scripts and more manual intervention than I'd like. A list is made for every individual visit, which is then collated into master lists for All Time Top Picks and films Never Picked.
Closing The Loops - Another semi-automated Letterboxd list
Like Closet Picks, this project collects and collates all 16 lists featured by Letterboxd on user stat pages. There's a Criterion-specific version of the list as well.
The Ohio Marquee - Local showtimes for indie movie fans in Ohio
A static site that periodically pulls showtime data for several independent movie theaters in Ohio. Developed in an afternoon for absolutely nobody but me.
IMDb to Letterboxd redirects - a niche Chrome extension
Marian has proved popular as a browser extension. Less-so is this button that will take you from a Letterboxd page to its IMDb equivalent or vice versa.
Archival Endeavors
As a fan of music and keeping detailed records of things few else care about, I maintain several projects dedicated to music preservation.
Discography.fm is my home for writing about music archival in the general as well as promotion of artists and records I really enjoy.
Please follow the blog on Mastodon.
blonded.blog is a similar project, solely focused on the work and career of Frank Ocean. It holds an extensive news archive and a complete record of Frank's music, concerts, and interviews.
This blog was on Twitter, but is not very active on social media anymore.
Podcasts
As lead editor for Out of the Crisis, a podcast which highlights leaders from all sectors who are providing and coordinating relief efforts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, I set the format for the show and edited 15 episodes before departing from Breaker and this wonderful project.
I also have a few shows of my own, none of which are currently active. Bantha Fodder, a Star Wars podcast, and Podchasm, a show about everything else, are both co-hosted by Mike Comite of Old Best Friend.
Variable Bitrate was a short-lived show about creatives.
I use Transistor.fm to host all of my podcasts. If you are in need of price-competitive hosting with a ton of great features, I highly recommend the service and have an affiliate link here. Using my link will help pay for my yearly hosting bill, which would be greatly appreciated.
I occasionally appear on other podcasts as a guest. You can find those appearances here (RSS).
