An open workbench

The projects on this site have different starting points. One begins with educational research, another with a melody, and another with an artist who needs a place to put their work. This is a short guide to what they do today, and where you can explore them.

Knowledge you can explore

Geo Companion is an independent interface alongside Geo. It reads public graph content and presents education dashboards, connected ideas, and maps. Geo remains the home of the published knowledge; Companion supplies another way to navigate it.

My background in teaching matters here. A dashboard should help someone ask a useful question. More numbers on a screen are not automatically more understanding. The education views distinguish between finding a record, following its sources, and having measurements that can meaningfully be plotted together.

There is also an Indianapolis outreach pilot. It is early work: schedules and service classifications still need verification. A directory entry is not a promise that help is available at a particular time. The application currently reads Geo testnet, and its coverage has limits.

The Open Data project is a separate research workbench. It holds source inventories, preparation scripts, and education viewers. Preparing a dataset, publishing it, and making a useful interface for it are distinct jobs. Keeping those boundaries visible makes the work easier to question and improve.

Music you can shape

Way Music began as a procedural score generator. The current prototype adds a studio organized around Perform, Sound, and Game.

You can play and record musical parts, edit notes, explore instruments, and audition how a score responds to a game scene. The studio starts with empty parts; sound exploration preserves the notes you authored. The earlier generation experiments remain available too.

This is a prototype you can run from the public repository. It is not a finished workstation, and a native Unreal integration remains future work. The repository separates the original software license from the licenses for recordings and research.

A place to publish

Folio Studio is a local portfolio editor for artists. It combines a browser editor with a static-site build, so the published pages do not need the local editor running. Cloudflare Pages publishing is available when the owner connects their own project.

The public repository is called open-sitebuilder. A separate personal adaptation, ATHSRUEAS Studio, helps manage the writing and project records on this site. They share a starting point, but they serve different purposes.

Follow an experiment

The project pages link to public source and live applications where available. Try something small: follow a connection in Geo Companion, run the music studio, or look through Folio’s portfolio workflow. A specific account of where you got stuck is useful feedback.

You can follow on Ko-fi or read about ways to support the work. Tips are optional. Exploring, asking questions, and sharing something useful are ways to take part too.
