Staple Day Launched February 2016
In 2015, I jokingly coined the term "staple day" as the day when notebook users reach the centerfold of their
books; the day they see the staples. It caught on in a few communities and in February 2016 I started cataloging
the efforts of others' celebrations.
My random projects are now at I Am Awesome. Includes everything from art, written works, candymaking, and more.
My first venture into the world of self-publishing, Paranormal Puzzle Pack was funded via Kickstarter and all
of the puzzles, graphics, and text are my own.
With no gathering place for would-be puzzle bloggers, Perplexible was launched to give a home for mainstream
puzzlers to guest post and small-time puzzlers to get started for the first time with a shared audience, no
costs, and no hassle.
I created Dave's Mapper in December 2010 after submitting a bugfix for a similar tool developed by Rob Lang. Since then, I've cultivated it as
an open-source project with over 1000 community-made tiles and a slew of features for GMs.
The Griddle Launched February 2006
Since my senior year of high school I've strived to put out some of the nicest puzzles on the web for free
consumption by all. My puzzles have a touch of personal style along with the myriad of puzzle types — some
common, some not.
