A log for software, projects, and things worth figuring out.
I’m Josh, though most people online know me as Citricguy. This site is more of a log than a blog. It’s where I keep track of software work, systems problems, projects, 3D printing detours, electronics, experiments, and the occasional thing that seemed useful enough to write down before I forgot how I solved it.
Workshop
Build logs from the bench.
Projects, 3D printing, electronics, automation, design, prototypes, and hands-on experiments that are easier to understand once they've been built, broken, and adjusted a few times.

Pukalani Elementary 3D Printing STEM Group
Notes from helping with Pukalani Elementary's after-school 3D printing group and watching a room full of kids take design, printing, and problem-solving more seriously than most adults would expect.

Browser AI and the return of the bookmarklet
Browser AI tools are making small page-specific scripts easier to use, and the old bookmarklet mindset is suddenly useful again.
Albums & playlists
Released albums, fixed-order mixtapes, and future playlists that collect studio tracks into something slightly more intentional.

Island Bass Emergency
We still cannot believe they let us release an album, so we did the responsible thing: immediately became a repeat offender.

A Mildly Concerning Mixtape
A short release note for the first official-ish citricguy album, created through a highly normal amount of effort to improve car shuffle.
Work, occasionally
I also take on select consulting and project-based work from time to time, usually around web systems, integrations, data, technical problem-solving, and the kinds of messy practical issues that benefit from experience and some judgment.
I'm most interested in good problems and good people. The rest is usually easier to figure out.
