I don’t know. But here’s what I’m up to:

My name is Caleb Smith. I hail from the 90s, am married to a superheroine named Ashley, and the other seven people in my household are all children. I am a Reformed and evangelical Protestant, currently a CREC member with a contextually unusual taste for scholasticism. God has been good to me from my earliest Southern Baptist days through all my journeys to where I am now. I have a BA in Ministry Studies from the Baptist College of Florida and an M.St in Classical Protestantism from Davenant Hall. After a few years of mostly building up a household at a random office job, I am now quite happily employed as a sixth grade teacher at a classical Christian school in the Florida Panhandle, easily one of the best jobs I can even imagine having, and also as part time as the webmaster for the Davenant Institute.

You can learn a lot about me from some of my favorite authors: J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Richard Hooker, Thomas Aquinas, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Zacharius Ursinus, Philip Melanchthon, Brad Littlejohn, G. K. Chesterton, Steven James, James Jordan, Alastair Roberts, Joe Rigney, Ted Dekker, Herman Bavinck, and Joseph Minich all come to mind as especially useful to that purpose. You can also learn from the music I listen to: Owl City, Taryn Harbridge, Taylor Davis, Lindsey Stirling, video game/movie soundtracks (esp. LOTR, Zelda, and Skyrim), Relient K, and an assortment of classical music that I enjoy but do not know very well.

I do a lot of computer stuff. I like to code, especially in Rust. I also use JavaScript and Python, and every once in a while dabble in other things like C++. Formerly, a lot of what I did involved modding tools for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, like the now semi-famous BCML, though professionally I have mostly only ever been involved in web development and such. These days I mostly make tools for stuff I do at school.
