The first project is the place that holds all the other projects. Naturally.
Jim has ADHD.This is where the hobbies live.
Hi, I'm Jim. I love to tinker, and I often get slightly obsessed.
When an obsession turns into something real, it gets its own subdomain and a story here about how it happened.

The issues
Newest first. Every one is a hobby that got its own subdomain.
-
-
Every ramen shop I've eaten at in Japan, mapped and ranked D to S, with a score for Zuzutto, the slurp factor.
-
A simple goal that got out of hand: ride through every single Sydney suburb, and map every ride. 644 of 660 done.
-
5,770 unique beers from 6,675 check-ins, and a quest since 2011 to drink one from every country. 121 of 195 possible places ticked off so far, and 137 reviews to prove it.
A word from Jim
"Slightly obsessed" means too many hobbies. Not "I like a few things." More like a new obsession every few weeks, a browser with forty tabs about it, and a burning need to tell someone all about it.
The people around me have heard enough. So this site is where it goes instead.
Every hobby that gets far enough to become a real thing gets its own subdomain. And every subdomain gets a story.
How it works
- Something grabs my attention and won't let go.
- I build a small app or site about it and deploy it to
something.jimhasadhd.fyi. - I write up the story here: what hooked me, what I built, and what I learned before the next shiny thing turned up.
Why "Jim has ADHD"
Because it's true, and it explains a lot. Starting things is the fun part, and I start a lot of things. Some become great, some stall halfway, and some get quietly abandoned. The stories here are honest about which is which. Every project has a status, and "abandoned, fondly" is a perfectly good one.
What you'll find
Anything, really. If I've been talking about it too much lately, it's probably here, or it will be soon.
