Personal Wiki & Digital Shelf

Hi, I’m Ben Alloway. Welcome to my corner of the web.

I’m a software builder based in Virginia. This site is my personal wiki and living notebook — a place to catalog the physical movies we own (structured for our future Plex server), share ranked lists like my all-time favorite films, and publish notes and life updates along the way.
