This is my /Now page, after Derek Sivers's proposal.
I've recently back in San Francisco after a few months on the east coast.
I'm doing a lot of generative art, some (but nowhere near all of which, yet) you see all over this site, as well as having a few pieces published as cover and internal illustrations for a not-for-profit poetry anthology published by UCSF's Poetic Medicine program at the MERI Center for Palliative Care at Mt Zion.
On the music front, for the last few months I've been practicing playing the lyre, as well as still regularly playing guitar, saxophone and clarinet. I have a 24-string lyre and expect to have a video or two posted in the reasonably near future.
Professionally, I'm working as an in-house FileMaker developer for an large educational nonprofit, as well as continuing with a few freelance FileMaker and web development projects in my off time. (Pitch: please check my resume on https://www.kupietz.com if you have or are aware of any opportunities.)
I also have scaled up my personal IT projects. I have been doing a ton of web development, mostly visible on this site and on my Github, and have spent the last two years slowly divorcing from various service providers and becoming my own: I currently host all my websites on my own server at home—you are fetching these electrons from a small computer in my living room. My email accounts and server security (CDN and proxying) are still hosted by commercial third-party hosts but that's all I'm still relying on outside services for.
For more detail than that, see the latest news page, or just check the front page of this site for new posts.
This /Now page is after Derek Sivers's proposal.

Latest developer log entries
- 2026sep27
- Disable Recipe post type, I wasn't really using it and it didn't work quite right for some reason, was missing permalinks, previews, and other features.
- Add skip_posts_in paramater to othercatposts. skip_id tells it which categories not to search, now skip_posts_in tells it to skip posts in certain categories even if they come up in other categories too... like, skip_posts_in="898" says don't include posts in "kwits" even if they come up in the "blog post" category.
- Update othercatposts so if post doesn't have a title, show excerpt, and if no except, show "No title: & publish timestamp

- Changed .metainfo > .dashicons {margin-bottom: -2px;margin-top: -2px; /* fix for dashicons raising text baselines in tags in meta info line */} to use ".page-header .metainfo > .dashicons" so didn't add weird spacing to metainfo in archove page post lists.

- Moved category "In Brief: Topical Short Takes" from "Written Snippets" category to "Blog Posts" and renamed it "You Can Quote Me On That: Topical Short Takes".
