Boss is pissed because I haven't really been getting as much done the last few days as I should have. What makes it more awkward is that I'm self-employed.

Thought I'd try it out. Very low table cost and only one day so "low impact". LOL

First Appearance of 2026. Not counting my house, where I seem to surprise my family every day.

How Do You Make Things Better? An Idea on How to Stay Sane

Was going to do a year end update but then just got wrapped up in the frustration of "how do we make things better"? I have a few ideas.

LATE PLEDGES ARE STILL OPEN!

I am donating 10% of the proceeds for the Alpha Cat Campaign to the Science Academy High School FRC Robotics team, and they made this adorable video for the campaign.

Alpha Cat #1 A space epic filled with action, mystery, and adventure, with animals, insects, robots, and plenty of heroes and scoundrels.

Do you like comics? Sci-fi? Comedy? Talking animals? Action? Adventure?

The most ridiculous thing about seeing Chainsaw Man this weekend was that I saw it a day before my son and his friends.
