  • Still here…

    Its been a while since I updated and posted on this site, but I am still here. With the holidays, work schedules and various activities, I have admittedly let the website itself sit idle for too long. Part of this is the struggle for content, but at least a portion is also driven by laziness.…

  • Site migration

    I believe I have successfully completed a full site migration, to move off of my prior hosting service. Since the website doesn’t get a lot of traffic, a self-hosted option is more economical. I am hopeful everything has been caught, but if you notice anything missing or non-functional, please let me know. SSL certificates will…

  • Graphics Design

    Been noticing that my YouTube banners for upcoming streams is rather lacking, being just a snapshot of the credits screen. I am definitely not a graphics designer – my artistic skill level is far more engineering based than artistic. However, a boring banner makes for very little interest. Since I can’t really provide a snapshot…

  • Googly Eyes

    It seems googly eyes make everything better. Some time ago, I attached a pair to my 3-d printer, and then due to a lack of projects, forgot all about it. Started a new project yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to see the printer staring back at me in the camera. Gives me a chuckle each…

  • Block editor

    I have had a few days now to get used to the new WordPress version, within which the biggest change is a the new “block editor” formatting for posts.  I am old-school – I started working on websites when you wrote out the text long hand in html code – so the changes feel a…

  • Intent vs Reality

    Over the last several months, I have commented at times about how I had intended or planned for one action or another, and then ended up failing to deliver on my own claims.  This seems to be a common situation, and one for which I envy regular content creators who are able to reliably complete…
