I get lots of interest in NHL countdown, so I decided to make NFL, NBA, and MLB Countdown sites also to see if people like them!
I wanted to dabble in the hardware sensor and microprocessor world, so I:
Next up is putting a sensor outside and making it weather proof.
This was super fun and interesting to put together!
This little tool helps me figure out what ingredients to use when I'm improvising a dish. It's a little digitized database of culinary ingredients, their function, and what cuisines they go with. You can search or browse.
All the data is from the amazing book Salt Fat Acid Heat
I made a few tools to help with my fantasy hockey leagues:
This is a little experiment to learn when I have the most and least energy. This little app will email me randomly throughout the day and ask me what my current energy level is. Then you can go into the app and see your energy levels plotted by day of the week and time of the day.
It turned out to be pretty cool!
I made a little video game to learn the Unity game framework.

I wanted to try making a little game in React, so I turned a little card drinking game I play with my brothers into a video game!

We're actively working on it and sharing it with painting businesses across Canada.
The garbage collection schedule in my town is scattered all over the place and I kept forgetting to look at the paper schedule, so I made a little service that emails me the day before collection day! Now I never forget.
I shared this with other locals in Oak Bay, and as of 2024 I'm sending reminders to over 300 Oak Bay residents every month.
I built a fun little Jeopardy game for a soccer team party my partner hosted. She provided the questions and answers, I provided the code!
