Hey there!

My name is Greg Baugues. I work in developer marketing at Google.

My wife and I are proud parents of two young daughters. We live in Piermont – a small village on the Hudson twenty miles north of Manhattan. Previously we lived long stints in Brooklyn and Chicago. I'm from Indiana.

I started coding when I was a kid on TRS-80. When I have free time, I gravitate towards software development, writing, photography. Since 2011, this blog has been my small corner of the Internet where I get to play with all three.

I've published over 200 posts on here. These are a few of my favorites:

• Leaving New York and Last Days in NYC.
• Doug and David. Stories from David Blaine's Vegas residency. (2023)
• Cruise. Reflections on a recent trip with my family. (2022)
• TRS-80. How I started coding at six years old in 1986. (2015)
• Delayed Bonding. My one piece of unsolicited advice for new dads. (2015)
• E-bike. Thoughts on the first thousand miles on our Urban Arrow. (2022)
• Who watches the watchers? My sleep deprivation fueled, 900-word Amazon review of the children's book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (2015)

I keep a blog about my AI explorations at haihai.ai.

I have type 2 bipolar and have spoken about de-stigmatizing mental health since 2013. Here's my Google Talk on it:
