INFLATION

// the 2019–2025 cost-of-living squeeze

What groceries and essentials actually cost from 2019 through 2025, how paychecks did and didn't keep up, and where the extra money ended up. Rebased price indices, a working-family food-budget breakdown, corporate-profit "sellers' inflation" charts, and a long-form report with full sources.

NCENTCOM

// intelligence fusion dashboard · single-screen operational picture

Nova Central Command — intelligence fusion dashboard that consumes nova-core's data pipeline (GDELT, ADS-B, AIS) and presents a single-screen operational picture. WORLDVIEW-inspired dark aesthetic with monospace data readouts, HUD-style UI, drill-down maps, and AG-Grid tabular views.

>Live GDELT event stream with regional threat composites
>ADS-B + AIS overlays for air and maritime tracking

OSSMILE

// the "good news" dashboard · philosophical inverse of ncentcom

Open-source positivity dashboard. Inverse product to NCENTCOM — same GDELT pipeline, opposite filter. Cooperative, humanitarian, and scientific events surface to the top; threat-weighting inverts to reward positive signal. Regional smile-score composites streamed via SSE.

>Regional smile-density and positive-tone composites
>SSE stream from scoring service straight to the frontend

// live telemetry for the Artemis II crewed lunar mission

Live mission console for Artemis II — spacecraft state vector from JPL Horizons, Deep Space Network antenna activity, space-weather conditions from NASA DONKI, and a 2D figure-8 trajectory plot. Ground-station-style HUD aesthetic, polled and streamed over WebSocket.

>Position / velocity from JPL Horizons polled every 3 minutes

BACKYARDDSN

// DIY deep-space reference & utility console

A static, self-contained reference console for hobbyists interacting with satellites, radio telescopes, and spacecraft — receive-first, license-honest, and citizen-science oriented. Filterable catalog, live utilities (DSN Now, NASA APOD, ISS position), and an honest mid-2026 status strip.

>Filterable catalog across seven categories from one typed data model
>Live DSN Now, APOD, and ISS utilities that degrade gracefully offline

TAB-GROUPER

// auto-group browser tabs by user-defined rules

Chrome / Brave MV3 extension that watches tab events and assigns each tab to a named group based on host, URL, title, or regex matchers. Rules sync via chrome.storage.sync, pinned tabs are left alone, and the popup exposes group-all / ungroup-all shortcuts.

>Six matcher types: hostEquals, hostContains, urlContains, titleContains, urlRegex, titleRegex
>Rules roam across signed-in browsers via chrome.storage.sync
>Debounced background service worker — first matching rule wins
