About Charlie

Hey there. I’m Charlie. I’m friendly and I make stuff.

I run a few small web-based businesses that make the world better. One of them — PearBudget — helps people manage their money. Another — Monotask — helps people manage their attention. I made those tools because I needed them myself. Apparently, a lot of other people do, too.

I live in Virginia with my wife and three daughters, in a house I built. (Well — I GC’d it.) Here’s where I work:

Projects

Apart from my businesses, I work on a number of distractions that both improve and interfere with my work. You can see them over at the projects page. The one I use the most, myself, is Right Now.

Elsewhere Online

I post quotes, articles, and links on attention management over at The Attention Management Blog.

I post neat things I find online to my tumblelog, at charliepark.tumblr.com.

I’m on Twitter. Frankly, when people say “you should follow me on Twitter”, it pisses me off. So I’m not going to tell you what to do. If you want to see my account, though, it’s at @charliepark.

Things to read later are at Instapaper (but I can’t figure out how to link to my stream right now).

Bookmarks are at Pinboard.

Contact

Twitter (@charliepark) or e-mail (charlie@pearbudget.com) are the best ways to reach me.
