Welcome!
Hey, I am John Franke, a programmer and musician living in Nashville Tennessee. I made this site to post tutorials, articles, and some music.
Thanks for reading,
Feeling generous?
Here are a few of my favorite charities.
Donate to Catalyst Sports 2025
Past years: Catalyst Sports 2024 Paradox Sports 2023
Every February, I climb for charity at Climb Nashville. Paradox Sports and Catalyst Sports both offer accessible climbing opportunities for people with differing abilities, defying the perception that people with a ‘disability’ cannot lead a life of adventure. We hit the goal in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Let's do it again in 2025! Progress 📈
Nashville Community Fridge 🥕🍉🥑🍅🍇🥝🍍🍊🍌🍈🥭
Nashville Community Fridge is a free fridge in Nashville that provides healthy fresh food for nearby residents.
Donate to Project Healthy Children
Project Healthy Children fortifies food, preventing malnourishment
Donate to Palestine Children's Relief Fund 🇵🇸
Around 50% of Gaza's population is children and they are facing the wrath of an indiscriminate bombing campaign.
