About

A small personal site for the things that don't fit anywhere else.

I'm Sean, based in Oregon. By day ???. The rest of the time I'm pushing pawns, building odd little tools, and chasing curiosities across maps, languages, and the occasional rabbit hole.

This site is the quieter corner — less business, more wandering.

Topics

A dozen rabbit holes, in alphabetical order.

• AI Experiments, prompts, and notes on living with the machines.
• Chess Annotated games, tournament history, and Stockfish 18 analysis.
• Crypto Reading the chain — protocols, oddities, and the occasional Kalshi market.
• Games Browser games, board games, and the Devvit mini-game in progress.
• Genealogy Tracing the Cole line — the bull on the shield, and where it came from.
• Languages A growing phrasebook — numbers, greetings, and the language of chess.
• Maps Custom Google Maps for soccer, schools, media markets, and travels.
• Politics Quotes worth keeping and the occasional observation.
• Sports College football playoff scenarios, sim leagues, and analytics.
• Survival Residency, citizenship, and the practical art of having options.
• Travel Places I've been, places I'm going, and notes from the road.
• Trivia Quiz Bowl questions, study archives, and useless-but-pleasing knowledge.
