✅ Investigate AI

Abundance or Abyss? AI adoption is driving massive experimentation with new ways of working, and software development is at the epicenter of the disruption.

Will product designers, engineers and empowered employees create new applications, data tools and work flows to turbo-charge the economy? Or will a precipitous push to redirect spending to AI investment destroy our prosperity?

After a career in tech, I am using AI development tools to build the products that I need to enhance my retirement endeavors. The AI tools are getting better and they are getting better fast.

Assuming other disciplines are experiencing the same advances, business leaders need to think hard about how to adjust to the new reality.

Current applications

To understand the evolving capacity of AI-enabled development tools, we create decision-support applications that help people engage more deeply with recreation and creative activities. Recent examples:

Intention Photo

Intention Photo helps photographers connect with the deeper intent behind their images. With session prompts, curated lessons, automated logging, and support for film cameras, it encourages you to bring mindful intention to your practice. A lesson platform gives teachers a new way to engage with their students.

In active development with Cursor Agent, Claude Code and Xcode, we project a public beta in the spring of 2026.

Kayak Flow

Kayak Flow analyze tides, currents and weather to suggest best times to get on the water, based on your prefered conditions for a great day. Uses NOAA and WeatherKit APIs.

The application was initially built using the Cursor IDE in conjunction with Xcode. It is being maintained and enhanced using Cursor's Agent functionality.

Let Me Out

Encourages breaks and suggests places to get out in nature based on weather and intended activity.

Let Me Out is a React/NodeJS web app created with an early release of Cursor, the AI coding tool. At the time, the tool was better then VSCode (upon which it was based) but, for complex work, not that much better.
