Projects, prototypes, and little web experiments from foodz.
foodz
Kansas City-area builder and operator working on practical business systems, realtime web experiments, and interfaces that feel a little more alive than a normal dashboard.
Short version
I run Thompson Technology, an MSP focused on dental practices, infrastructure, support, and the internal systems that keep real offices moving. Outside the day-to-day operator work, I build realtime software, browser-based 3D spaces, machine interfaces, mapping toys, and strange little websites that behave more like terminals, simulations, control rooms, or multiplayer worlds than normal pages.
I tend to approach engineering the same way I approach debugging: follow the signal, prove what is happening, and make the system tell the truth.
Now
- Building MSP tooling, internal business systems, inventory/order flows, and infrastructure that has to work on ordinary Tuesday mornings.
- Pushing on Machine Wants Input: live video, telemetry, queues, and shared control for physical machines on the internet.
- Keeping a shelf of experiments around fake operating systems, terminal interfaces, ARGs, interactive fiction, realtime rooms, and radar/satellite-style visualizations.
Links
Good reasons to reach out
- Realtime systems, multiplayer-style software, live operations tools, machine control, or dense UIs that need to feel tactile instead of sterile.
- Dental or small-business infrastructure problems where support, networking, deployment, hardware, and software all collide.
- Odd internet experiments with enough engineering underneath to survive being used by actual people.
Site notes
This site is part lab shelf and part signal dump: practical builds next to weird ones, business systems next to browser worlds, and enough CRT glow to keep everything from looking like a software vendor homepage. Everything here is meant to be touched, tested, shipped, or learned from; the page stays finished by staying alive.
Prototypes
A sharp little collection of experiments, prototypes, games, visual toys, and high-voltage browser oddities.

Essays, notes, and field reports from the brighter edge of the workbench.
