There’s a wall in our place where they installed all the breaker boxes. Makes for easy access, but it’s not exactly attractive. In fact, it looks a lot like the inside wall of a garage (which is what it likely was at one point). So, the notion I had was, Read more…
Back about three years ago, I printed and painted a version of a little robot called Eddie. You can read about it here. Sadly, in the move from our previous house to this one, poor Eddie got jostled about quite a bit and broke both his legs. Unfortunately, the resin Read more…
Prior to the Christmas Holiday last year (2023), I was noodling on something to make. At the same time, I was scrolling through some woodworking projects and I stumbled on the idea of an “Everyday Carry” Tray. Typically I only have a few things that I carry every day and Read more…
You know those days where you’re noodling about what you might make and it occurs to you that you don’t have a full-sized human skull and somehow that surprises you? It surprised me. So I made one. I poked around a bit and found a model that was sufficiently detailed. Read more…

I turned 58 this year and as is the case sometimes, it seems like an opportunity for reflection. So, reflect I will. I was born in June of the year of our Lord 1965, which sounds like it’s quite a while ago, even for me! A few things about the Read more…
My lovely wife and amazing partner ditched me this week. She ran off to Vegas with her girlfriend where, to all appearances, she is having a fantastic time doing some gambling, good food, sunshine and a pool. And I am 100% cool with this! To be fair, we typically do Read more…
We just got back from a 10-day road trip. We’re tired but it was a great trip! The impetus for the trip was to visit my daughter, Laurel, down in Berkeley where she lives how for her new career as a Software Developer. (I’m very proud of her for her Read more…
