PalletLocator, a searchable directory for the U.S. pallet industry.
BUILDS · TESTS · RABBIT HOLES
I build with AI. Then I check what actually happened.
Apps, websites, security questions, new models and whatever I can’t stop thinking about. Labeled honestly, with the failures left in.
LATELY
New work, tests and questions.
PalletLocator
A searchable directory for pallet suppliers, recyclers, manufacturers and brokers across the United States.

Open the build →DrayLocator
A directory for finding drayage carriers by port, equipment and compliance requirements.
Where it broke: Some imported carriers had no city, so location pages could not place them correctly. Status: 493 carriers.

HOW I LABEL THINGS
A plan, a test and a finished project are not the same thing.
Every piece says which one it is. If I haven’t tested it, I say so.
- PlanI’m working out what to build.
- TestIt works well enough to try, but I’m still finding the weak spots.
- FinishedThe work is published with the result and what went wrong.
THE BRIEF
One email a week. If there's nothing worth sending, I skip it and say so.
ABOUT LARS
I spent 20+ years making sure technical systems work outside the demo.
I check AI the same way.
