Hi. I'm David. 👋🏽

My pronouns are he/him. I do stuff with computers. I live in Austin, TX.

I’m a dad. I love jokes, especially dad jokes. But that was before I was a dad and it’s only gotten worse since.

I love everything game (board and digital and role-playing)

I dig on plain text formats, productivity, and knowledge management.

I’m a musician. I’ve played the piano since I was very young, and I very much like making music with things that look like trackers.

I like keyboards that make too much noise, especially ergodox keyboards.

I like to think I’m a mentor, but I’m still learning how to do that myself from people who are really good at it.

Contact Me

I can be found pretty much everywhere fine Internets are made as drhayes or some variation.

In particular, you can email me at hi@drhayes.io or chat me at my Keybase chat or at my Telegram address you weirdo.

You could also use my public inbox or email me at ~drhayes/public-inbox@lists.sr.ht to get a post started. It’s this idea that I found via Eric Bower that I thought I’d try out.

Here are some likely haunts:

• github.com/drhayes
• drhayes@social.lol
• Bookwyrm.social
• Pinboard
• Soundcloud
• Keybase
• Tumblr

I adore seeing how other people solve similar issues to mine. I think we all get smarter when we share solutions.

Some 11ty organization ideas came from:

• Zach Leatherman: https://github.com/zachleat/zachleat.com
  • I mean, the guy wrote 11ty so he has some ideas about how to use it.
• Sophie Koonin: https://github.com/sophiekoonin/localghost/
  • meta tags, excerpts, OpenGraph image generation
  • Good Markdown plugin suggestions:
    • markdown-it-image-figures
• Lea Verou: https://github.com/LeaVerou/lea.verou.me
  • Lots of good Markdown plugin stuff that I suddenly, desperately needed
  • I love how her site blanks out tags that are only used once.
  • also, for teaching me CSS in general, really
