A personal workshop on the web

Making useful things from ideas that should probably not work.

This is where I keep the work: software, books, research, and the occasional idea that refuses to fit neatly into one category.

Some projects are finished products. Others are experiments, investigations, or works in progress. Weirdgears is where I explain what they are, why I made them, and what I learned along the way.
