About this site

Hi, I'm Adam Fields, native New Yorker. I do software development, systems architecture, infrastructure, and security for a living. I write about technology sometimes. I make apps that I find useful. I cook a lot at home and I'm passionate about cooking tools. I take photos and occasionally videos of my food and write about cooking, cooking tools, and cooking techniques. I write about media. I write essays about weird social phenomena that catch my attention. I practice karate and sometimes I write about that.

I'm trying to aggregate everything I'm working on here. If you want to hear about what I'm working on, you can subscribe or add the rss feed to your reader.

Find my other stuff

This site is intended to be a notification hub for all of the things I'm working on. I've been doing this for decades, and there's tons of stuff in the archives. Here are some of the places you can find my work:

  • my medium blog (a lot of my more recent longform writing)
  • opinionated.af.motorcycles (some of my recent longform writing, but the taliban shenanigans took a lot of my enthusiasm away from this domain)
  • aquick.org/blog (my blog lived here for a long time, years, of archives)
  • unsellingconvenience (home cooking photo blog, powered by tumblr)
  • unsellingconvenience instagram (same content, but on instagram)
  • counter.kitchen (my collected food writing and education)
  • youtube @counter.kitchen (food demonstrations)
  • nowit.rocks (my collected media commentary and writing)
  • threads (I post a lot here)
  • bluesky (I post sometimes here, but I'm less enthusiastic about bluesky than I want to be)
  • mastodon (I post sometimes here, but I'm less enthusiastic about mastodon than I want to be)
  • flickr (yeah, I still have my flickr account and put event photos up there sometimes but not very often)
  • instagram (I put photos up here fairly infrequently)
  • iOS App Store
    • Subway Leapfrog: a free iPhone app to answer the question "should I stay on the local or take the express" for the NYC subway.
    • QuickieBike: an iPhone/Apple Watch app for finding your nearest Citibike station in NYC.
    • QuickieCam: an iPhone app for quick video capture on all back cameras simultaneously.

That's a lot of places! It's not even all of them. This page exists so you don't have to follow all of them. Subscribe here instead! Updates will be whenever I feel like it on no particular schedule!
