Around the site
Stories
Audio stories I put together for my kids, read by AI narrators. Explorers and engineers, forty from the Bible, and short explanations of everyday things. How I make them.
Poetry
Sixteen poems in audio, from Masefield to Kipling to Dickinson.
Read aloud
Māui, a picture book in verse with a coloring book to print, and The Village Near Mayapan, historical fiction set in the Yucatán, written to read together.
Games
Little Lanterns, math toys for children about 4 to 8 in the spirit of Russian math circles. Pictures, sound and touch, so children can play before they read.
Writing
Outside the Basin, my Substack. What I think after thinking.
Consulting
Fractional CFO work, grant writing and management, and AI systems through Sky Island AI.
