Personal

Personal writings and other miscellaneous projects.

There are only so many things you can do in life. In fact, my real ambitions are to do things that cannot be linked on the internet. Although, I did at least write about that very thing on the internet. And a very Jewish/religious essay about publishing stuff online. From the perspective of the internet, I'm just a random guy in the sea of billions. So, ideally, I intend to focus my efforts on doing things for the people to whom I'm not just a random guy.

On this page is also going to be whatever else I am interested in posting online, but doesn't fit into any of the other things I work on.

Tools

Random things I built for myself, with some help from Claude Code.

Task Breakdown Calendar

This is a mostly-functional calendar, with the main feature being that when you add a "task" due on some particular day, you can give the task a dozen subtasks, and the calendar will automatically distribute those subtasks to be due on days between today and the final due date. No other fancy plugins.

PDF Highlight Extractor

Extracts highlighted text from PDFs using OCR. Useful when the text layer is corrupted or the document is scanned. Supports multiple languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and more.

Home Buying/selling Calculator

I didn't love the versions of this that I found online, so Claude helped me build me own. Calculates estimates for US home buying costs and selling gains, with more number flexibility and charts.

Aleph Lava Lamp

I really enjoy looking at this thing I made. Maybe a little too much. Check out its full page.
