Hi!

I'm Greg. I live 20 miles north of Manhattan with my wife and two kids. Previously we lived long stints in Brooklyn and Chicago. I grew up in Indiana.

I enjoy building things and telling stories.

When I have free time, I tend towards coding, writing, and photography. Since 2011, this blog has been my small corner of the Internet where I get to play with all three.

There's over 200 posts on here. These are few of my favorites:

• Leaving New York and Last Days in NYC.
• Doug and David. Stories from David Blaine's Vegas residency. (2023)
• Cruise. Reflections on a recent trip with my family. (2022)
• TRS-80. How I started coding at six years old in 1986. (2015)
• Delayed Bonding. My one piece of unsolicited advice for new dads. (2015)
• E-bike. Thoughts on the first thousand miles on our Urban Arrow. (2022)
• Who watches the watchers? My sleep deprivation fueled, 900-word Amazon review of the children's book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (2015)

I keep a blog about my AI explorations at haihai.ai.

I have type 2 bipolar and have spoken and written about de-stigmatizing mental health since 2013. Here's my Google Talk on it:
