Hiking
Maps, Guides and Logs
One of my greatest joys is being outdoors in a wide open space with nothing made by man in sight. At times, I do have to come back to reality, and occasionally when I do, I will share routes, guides, maps, and from time to time, gear recommendations.

Tunnel Localhost Server Through Cloudflare
A tunnel to your desktop
This is something I have done in the past and it usually involved pretty in-depth knowledge of the shell and networking, but now there is a free service that makes it oh-so-easy to spin up a tunnel with a public human readable domain name for temporary viewing of your local network development environment on the internet.
Pick a Squares Game
I created a pick-a-squares game template, aka the Super Bowl squares. It is still a work in progress, but I hope to have it snazzy in time for next year. Take a look at the template.
Project Goals
- Ability to enter people into squares
- Generate random score rows with animated flourish
- Presentation mode for big screen action with controller to enter periodic scores
- Calculate payouts based on price of a square
Project Timeline
- Launch in time for SB LIX
Pick a Square Game
Pick a Square, any Square! Only $n a square! Step right up folks and get your lucky square.
This was kind of a challenge from a friend of mine. He wanted squares for an event that was a website - html, not an image, that could be used on a big screen at a venue AND printed out on a poster OR standard paper all in one url, just works for all of those.
Arts-Link.com
https://www.arts-link.com is the first domain I ever purchased. I believe it was around 2001. It has been various different websites throughout the years, including not a web-site at all. In this rendition it is an organization which is set up to support artists in their technical needs, to free them from the discratction of such things as self-promotion and websites.
Github Action to Create New Content in Hugo
I use Hugo a lot for my web development work, and I think it is pretty great. The one problem with it for many non-technical people I work with is that there is no CMS feature, they want a website administration page where they can do the usual.
Hugo Helpers
Here are some useful partials I use in this theme.
layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html
This replaces the default markup template for rendering an image when the markdown code  is used. It calls another partial you have to add to your theme or layout directory in your site called ImageConverter.
Recipes
Recipes I have collected, created or modified over the years.
I get very frustrated by the recipe websites out there today. The ones that dominate in the search results are usually SEO over-engineered pages with too-long content describing all sorts of different things you really don’t care about, with too many confusing ads mixed-in.
Tarragon Beets Salad
This was an attempt to copy a salad from Bristol Farms. I ended up modifying it quite a bit from the initial ingredients.
