A while back, I built a tool that could solve Wordle using simple frequency analysis. My family banned me from playing because, apparently, “thats not the spirit of the game.” Id argue that computing how often "e" appears as the last letter of every word in the dictionary is perfectly fair. Technically speaking *anyone* can do that but my sister didn't see it that way.
This site exists for similar reasons. Its a place to collect the things I build, the problems I find interesting, and the odd ideas that seem fun enough to follow through on. Its not a curated portfolio, and its definitely not a thought leadership blog—I dont take myself that seriously.
## What Youll Find Here
- **Projects & Experiments:**
Sometimes useful, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes both. I like to build things that solve real problems, but I also like making things purely because they enrich the world simply for being.
- **Occasional Ramblings:**
Every so often, I write about what Im working on. It might be technical, it might be an obscure observation about the world, or it might just be me talking about why a seemingly pointless problem is actually the best kind of problem.
- **A Loose Concept of Organization:**
This isnt a meticulously structured website. Its more of a digital workbench—some things are neatly arranged, others are just kind of lying around, and occasionally, something falls off the shelf and surprises both of us.
- **Want to Connect?**
If you enjoy breaking things just to see how they work, or if you just have a strong opinion on Coen Brothers movies, feel free to [reach out](mailto:john@example.com) or find me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnplamb/) and [GitHub](https://github.com/jplamb).
## Why This Space?
Because I needed one. A place where I can share what I build without feeling like I need to write a cover letter for it. Whether youre here because you found something I made, or because youre a recruiter wondering if Im a real person—welcome. Enjoy your stay, or at least help me tidy up on your way out. And yes, it is a Limewire reference.
*Cheers,
John*
