This is my /Now page, after Derek Sivers's proposal.
I've recently back in San Francisco after a few months on the east coast.
I'm doing a lot of generative art, some (but nowhere near all of which, yet) you see all over this site, as well as having a few pieces published as cover and internal illustrations for a not-for-profit poetry anthology published by UCSF's Poetic Medicine program at the MERI Center for Palliative Care at Mt Zion.
On the music front, for the last few months I've been practicing playing the lyre, as well as still regularly playing guitar, saxophone and clarinet. I have a 24-string lyre and expect to have a video or two posted in the reasonable near future.
Professionally, I've been working doing general business IT support, WordPress and FileMaker development for a local managed services IT company, as well as taking on freelance projects in same, while I look for my next full-time opportunity. (Pitch: please check my resume on https://www.kupietz.com if you have or are aware of any opportunities.)
I also have scaled up my personal IT projects. I have been doing a ton of web development, mostly visible on this site and on my Github, and have spent the last two years slowly divorcing from various service providers and becoming my own: I currently host all my websites on my own server at home—you are fetching these electrons from a small computer in my living room. My email accounts and server security (CDN and proxying) are still hosted by commercial third-party hosts but that's all I'm still relying on outside services for.
For more detail than that, see the latest news page, or just check the front page of this site for new posts.

Latest developer log entries
- 2026apr2
- Added code to mk custom htmlmap to cache/use cached word counts, just like Hero template does.
- 2026apr1
- Refactored the htmlmap shortcode that generates the menus. A few months ago, Claude's last "optimization" left a variable scoping problem that caused the script to re-fetch all posts for every single category in the menus. Previous version and Gemini chat that found the problem (and tried to fix a few more fictitious problems that I don't actually have while it was at it, thanks, Gemini) archived in my admin backups folder on disk. Also got bridgy fed totally working. Also, forgot yesterday, got u-featured microformat tags working for featured images for syndicated posts.
- 2026mar30
- Add categories, tags & genres to hidden="from-humans" syndication info block on posts
- 2026mar29
- Update template-parts/content/content-single.php with hidden fields for h-feed within the h-entry; some readers seemed to be having a hard time grabbing author and title since the header they're in is outside the article.
- Add rel=me linke to web.brid.gy per https://fed.brid.gy/docs#get-started
- 2026mar18
