I’m starting to feel my bandwidth loosen up a bit and I’m finding time for some other important projects. But my focus lately has been digital making, not necessarily …
Watch on YouTube Barb said it best. Technical issues are kind of on brand for this experience. The stream didn’t work. The pictures were all on the wrong people. It’s a mess. But it was a fun mess where we took David and taught him to play minecraft, cleared out a mansion (mostly) and then did some minecraft banner on …
Watch on YouTube I have gotten better at pronouncing Imphenzia since recording that video. I have also learned that his name is actually Stefan, which I assume is spelled with an ‘f’ because he’s from Sweden, but I’ve never seen it spelled.

Watch Video On YouTube PrintABlok isn’t the first thing I’ve made that people have told me I should patent, but it is the first thing that I seriously considered patenting it. Ultimately I had to weigh what I thought I would make, or more accurately what I would stand to lose, versus what it would cost to go through the …
Watch Video on YouTube So how am I weathering the end of the world? Pretty good actually. Where I live is being hit with just enough cases of COVID-19 to merit sending the kids home for the rest of the school year, but the local government is only suggesting we lock ourselves down.
