These are selected projects, archives, and bodies of work connected to my writing, art, web work, and long-term creative practice.
Some are active. Some are archived. Some are experiments that may grow over time.
I keep them here because a life’s work is not always one thing. Sometimes it is a collection of tools, ideas, creative paths, and projects that point toward the same deeper purpose.
For me, that purpose is simple:
To live a fulfilling life and help others do the same.
Featured Projects
Chr1stopher
Chr1stopher is my art identity.
This is where I share sacred geometry, op art, visual experiments, and creative work focused on pattern, perception, and the sacred within form.
The work explores beauty, order, mystery, and the quiet intelligence that can be found in repeated shapes and visual rhythm.
OBTF
OBTF stands for One Big Text File.
It is a simple writing and knowledge-management method built around plain text, Markdown, and the idea that your most important thinking should remain portable, searchable, and free from unnecessary software complexity.
OBTF is for people who want a calmer, simpler way to collect ideas, write, organize notes, and keep their thinking in one durable place.
MarkdownCRM
MarkdownCRM is an experiment in using plain text and Markdown as a lightweight personal CRM.
Instead of using complex software to track relationships, conversations, and follow-ups, MarkdownCRM explores a simpler approach: human relationships organized in files you own and understand.
It is built for writers, solo creators, consultants, and independent workers who want less software and more clarity.
Date Night Jar
Date Night Jar is a simple web app that helps couples spend time together more intentionally. It offers thoughtful date ideas and, when you want it, deeper connection prompts—so the night isn’t just something to do, but something to feel.
WhoDefinesYou
WhoDefinesYou was my web business from 1996 to 2019.
For 23 years, it helped clients build websites, online stores, digital systems, and independent web presences.
The business is now retired from client work, but I keep the archive online as part of my history. It represents a long season of entrepreneurship, creative service, and helping people make their work visible on the web.
Why These Projects Matter
I do not see these projects as separate from my writing.
They are all connected.
Writing, art, websites, tools, systems, and archives are different ways of asking the same questions:
- What helps a person live with more clarity?
- What deserves our attention?
- What should we build slowly and carefully?
- What kind of work remains meaningful over time?
That is the thread running through this site.
Not everything here is polished into a final product. Some projects are living experiments. Some are finished chapters. Some are markers from the road behind me.
But each one reflects something I care about:
simple tools, meaningful work, creative independence, and a more fulfilling life.
