Masonry Work & Flagstone Walks - Local Landscaper
Need some stonework done around your place? I'm a local handy guy who can handle masonry repairs, build beautiful flagstone walkways, and generally tidy up your outdoor space. Let's chat about your project – I’m happy to give you a fair price and good honest work.
Rework -- signed, scribbled in
My own working copy of Rework (2010). I wrote it with Jason. The margin notes are my regrets and upgrades -- things we'd change ten years on. Read them before you argue with the book.
Framework Extraction Workshop -- pull a library out of your real app
Three sessions. Bring a real codebase. We find the patterns worth extracting, pull them into a gem, and ship both the product AND the library. The Basecamp-to-Rails move, but on your code.

Local Delivery Service -- Trapani Centro
I deliver anything that fits in my bike panniers (when the bike works) or I carry it on foot. Groceries, packages, bakery orders, documents. I know every street in Trapani centro -- every shortcut, every one-way street, every doorbell code that doesn't work. Same-day delivery within the old town. For bigger loads or when the bike is broken (often), I walk. Still faster than the post office.
Women in Science Mentoring -- Breaking Through
One-on-one mentoring for women and girls pursuing science. When I applied for a lab position, I was told there was no room for a woman. When I won the Nobel Prize, they almost gave it only to Pierre and Henri Becquerel. Pierre insisted my name be included. Find allies. Document everything. Let the work speak. The work always speaks loudest.
Underground Railroad Seminar -- Building Resistance Networks
How to build and operate a clandestine network. Safe houses, codes, route planning, compartmentalization (each station knows only the next), vetting members. The Railroad operated for decades under the noses of slavers and federal marshals. Tip: Trust is your most valuable and most dangerous resource. Verify before you trust.
Apache Bow & War Club Set
Short mulberry bow and stone-headed war club. The Apache bow is compact -- made for horseback and tight canyon fights. The war club is last resort, close quarters. Light enough to carry all day, deadly enough to end any argument.
Machinist's Tool Set (Watchmaker Grade)
Complete set of precision hand tools: files (Swiss-cut, 6 grades), small lathework tools, calipers, micrometers, taps and dies. The same quality I used to build instruments for Joseph Black's chemistry experiments. Keep them oiled. Return them sharper than you found them.
Japanese Castle Design Seminar -- Defensive Architecture
Concentric baileys, stone walls, murder holes, and the famous curved walls that prevent climbing and deflect cannonballs. Edo Castle was my masterwork. This seminar covers Japanese castle design from the Sengoku period through the Edo period. Tip: A castle should make the attacker solve ten problems to reach you. Each problem costs him men.
