About
Balinworks is one person’s workbench: a place for the things I write, read, draw and build.
I just like learning about things. Any subject will do, as long as there’s something to figure out — a company’s balance sheet, the Chola navy, why a chess opening works, how an AI slips out of its sandbox. This site is where that curiosity lands.
By day I work in security, which at its heart is about protecting the things that matter.
Why Balinworks?
Because Balin works as a name for me.
Why no name?
So the work stands on its own.
Right now
What’s on the bench
- WritingAny topic that grabs me — a company’s balance sheet, a stretch of history, a security idea, a chess game I’ve pulled apart move by move. The finance pieces go out as Legends Table.
- ReadingHeavy on history — Indian history and the big-picture kind — with some science, business and sci-fi. The whole shelf is here, including the books still waiting.
- ComicsNeuralwaste: Jimbob trying to keep his footing while AI rearranges work and everything around it.
- ProjectsThings I build to scratch my own itch. More soon.
