What I'm focused on right now. Last updated: July 2026.

Currently Exploring

Perplexity network analysis. In progress. The same teardown method as the ChatGPT one, reading the raw network traffic to see how it picks sources. It behaves nothing like ChatGPT.
Gemini network analysis. Up next, to round out the set after Perplexity.
GSC MCP v2.3 and image SEO. Done. Image extraction shipped to the GSC MCP, and the image SEO technical guide it pairs with is written and ready to publish.
ChatGPT network analysis. Shipped. Read the teardown, where I read the raw network traffic to see how ChatGPT actually picks its sources.
Log file intelligence. Done. Built a real-time log analysis dashboard on a $5/mo Cloudflare Workers setup: verified bot detection by IP, AI-crawler tracking, crawl-budget views. Still need to write it up as a rebuild of my 2020 log analysis guide.
Internal linking. Done. Found an approach that works, embeddings plus a crawl, that beats what is out there. Will publish the writeup later.

Tools and projects I've tested and formed a verdict on. Most recent month shown below. Older entries live in the archive.

isitagentready.com Kept Ran it while writing the agent-ready guide. Good first-pass protocol scanner: robots, sitemap, Link headers, well-known files, Markdown negotiation, MCP, Web Bot Auth. Worth keeping as a quick first check.
Multi-signal keyword attribution Kept Shipped a free, open skill that joins Search Console and GA4 in BigQuery to estimate revenue per organic keyword, with a confidence score on every row. The honest answer to "which keyword actually made money" once the query is hidden in (not provided). On GitHub.

Raising three kids, which remains the only job with no PTO and no performance reviews.
Trying to read more and spend less time on X. One of those is going well.
