I make things, and these are the things.

Photographs from the road, a fantasy world I'm telling one chapter at a time, and the tools I build to think with. Three different things I can't seem to stop doing.

01 · Photography

From the road and the wild

Travel, landscape, and wildlife, collected over years of going places and actually paying attention when I got there.

02 · Writing

Velruneth, a world told in serial

Velruneth is a world I've been carrying around for years, and now I'm writing it down. Echoes of the Void is book one, going up chapter by chapter as I finish each one. Start reading below, or follow along on Substack and get them as they land.

  • Echoes of the Void cover: a grim, weathered man standing in a long leather coat with glowing eyes and cold blue energy curling from his hand, concentric ripples behind him; the title above and 'A Velruneth Novel, Book One' beneath Serializing

    Velruneth · Book 1 · serialized

    Echoes of the Void

    Book one of Velruneth. A cold, slow descent into a force that doesn't destroy so much as absorb, and the people who decide to walk toward it anyway. New chapters go up on Substack as I finish them.

  • The Wonder Inn cover: a warm, lamplit timber inn floating alone in the dark, its door ajar with a cloaked figure silhouetted on the threshold Shorts

    Companion shorts

    The Wonder Inn

    Standalone short stories set at a strange, warm inn that sits a little outside of time. Each one walks a character through the door, gives them a night that matters, and sends them back out with no memory of the place. You don't need the books to read them.

03 · Building

Tools I build to think with

These are the things I build when the tool I want doesn't exist yet, or exists but annoys me. Most started as a personal itch and turned into something I use every day now. None of it's for sale. Building the thing is usually how I figure out what I actually think about it.

  • The ericteichmiller.com home page

    Web · Astro

    Live

    ericteichmiller.com

    The site you're reading this on. It started as three separate sites and I folded them into one, where the photography, the writing, and the building each get their own corner without me babysitting three codebases. Built with Astro, no CMS, every page edited by hand.

  • a docked side pane with stacked entries

    Obsidian plugin

    The Archivist's Pane

    A panel I built into Obsidian that shows me what my agents are working on in real time, which projects are open, what's still in draft, and how my memory is wired together. It turned a pile of notes into something closer to a mission control.

  • panel with cards and images of Coglin

    AI · multi-agent

    Daily driver

    A personal agent system

    My personal Coglin Army. A handful of AI agents that each specialize in something, hand work off to each other, and share one memory so I'm not re-explaining myself every time. Most of what gets made around here passes through it at some point, including parts of this site.

  • A dark dashboard with account tables, an at-risk panel, and a daily schedule

    Obsidian plugin

    In use

    A personal CRM

    A command center I built to run relationships end to end: account health, renewals, the at-risk list, the day's tasks, and the meetings stitched to each account. I got tired of holding all of that across five different tools, so I built the one screen I actually wanted to look at.
