Redbeard

We missed having something like PHPMyAdmin when we started working more heavily with Redis, so we scratched our own itch. It’s in need of a revamp, but it’s still a fairly handy tool to have around.

My Github

All the open source projects I do are in public repos and most are located here in my Github account.

So many repos

Brack3t’s Github

The rest of the open source work I do is located here. Chris and I try to keep everything organized here, but, well, you know how well that usually works out.

Even more repos

My Bitbucket

I used to use Mercurial for my main VCS but that fell away to using Git. Still, the few open projects that I did with Hg are available here.

Who Is That Masked Man?

The Man, The Myth

I'm a father and a husband. I've been building web sites and applications for over 15 years and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

I'm a educator through my videos, blog posts, and as a speaker at conferences, meetups, and just training co-workers.

I live in Oregon and enjoy getting to get out in nature and take photos.

You'd do best to hit me up on Twitter.

If you'd like to support my open source efforts, feel free to tip me on Gittip.
