Hey everyone! Been a while since I shared one of my deep dives, but I recently got my hands on something pretty special, and I just had to talk about it. We’re talking about a prototype of Super Mario 64. Yeah, that Super Mario 64. I’ve always been fascinated by how games are made, especially…

So, I’ve been wanting a proper Sentinel figure for ages. You know, from the X-Men comics. Those big, scary mutant-hunting robots. The ones you can buy? Either they’re tiny, or they cost more than my first car. Seriously. I figured, there’s gotta be another way. Maybe I could just make one, or at least something…

So, I was looking around my workspace the other day, and man, it was dull. Just plain dull. You know the vibe. Standard office stuff. And those motivational posters? The serious kind? “Reach for the Stars!” or “Persistence Pays!” Honestly, they just weren’t doing it for me. Felt a bit… preachy, I guess. Then it…

Okay, folks, gather ’round. I’ve got a little story about my recent adventure with my PS5 controller. It’s all about tackling that dreaded stick drift, but with a bit of a modern twist – we’re talking Hall effect sensors. The Annoyance Begins So, there I was, deep into a game, and my character starts veering…

Ah, the bulldozer case. That’s one for the books, let me tell ya. It all started because our old main system was, well, ancient. Everyone knew it was running on fumes and a bit of luck. So, management got this bright idea: a complete, top-to-bottom replacement. They didn’t want to just update it; they wanted…

So, I got this itch, you know? Been staring at my 3D printer just sitting there, gathering a bit of dust, and thought, “What haven’t I made yet?” Planets. Yeah, a whole little solar system. Seemed like a cool idea, something to put on the shelf, maybe impress the kids, or just to say I…

Alright, let’s talk about this AMG GTS body kit project I tackled. It’s one of those things, you see the pictures, you dream a bit, and then you just gotta do it. So, I decided to go for it, transform the look of my machine. It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, let me…

So, I finally got around to tinkering with that ‘zeal motor’ I’d been hearing whispers about. Folks were saying it was going to be a game-changer for some of the little automation projects I dabble in. I figured, why not, let’s see what all the fuss is about, and naturally, I kept a few notes…

Alright, so let me tell you about this little project I got myself into – the Han Solo Mini Fridge. It wasn’t like I woke up one day and just had to have one, you know? It was more of a slow burn. The Spark of an Idea I had this old, beat-up mini-fridge just…

Alright, so this whole bulk earbuds business. I waded into it, and let me tell you, it was something else. I figured, “Hey, bulk earbuds, what could go wrong?” Well, strap in. It all started when we were trying to put together this little local shindig, yeah? Nothing too fancy, just a community gathering. And…

Alright, let’s talk about glass pool tables. I went through a whole phase with these things, seriously thinking about getting one. It wasn’t just a fleeting thought; I actually spent a good chunk of time looking into them. My First Encounter It started, like many of these things do, with a picture online. Some ultra-modern…

Alright, so this flamethrower idea with Lego. It wasn’t some grand plan, you know? I was just sitting there the other day, staring at my big tub of mixed Lego bricks – the one my kids mostly ignore now unless they want something specific and make me find it. Getting the Idea Rolling I figured,…

So, I’d been kicking around this idea for a while, you know? This itch to own something, like, truly historic from the space program. And what’s more iconic than those black and white tiles on the Space Shuttle? I figured, “Hey, someone’s gotta be selling these, right?” That’s pretty much how this whole adventure started….

Well, folks, been a while since I shared a bit of what’s been going on. Today’s tale is about the journey of putting my Co50 Valkyrie up for sale. Yeah, you heard that right. It wasn’t a snap decision, let me tell you. More like a slow burn, a lot of back and forth in…

So, I got this idea in my head, right? Needed a new alarm clock. The plastic digital ones just feel… flimsy. And they break all the time. I wanted something solid, something with a bit of heft. A proper metal alarm clock, like the ones you used to see. First thing, I started looking around….

Okay, here’s my take on a blog post about the Honda 8500 generator, written in a casual, first-person style: So, I finally got my hands on a Honda 8500 generator. Been needing one for a while, what with the power outages we get around here. Figured it was time to stop relying on candles and…

Okay, so I’ve always been fascinated by those Seabob things – you know, the underwater scooters that look like they’re straight out of a James Bond movie. I finally got my hands on one and, of course, the first thing I wanted to know was: how fast can this thing actually go? I started by,…

Today, I wanted to play around with something called “flash falcon.” I’d heard it was pretty cool, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Here’s how it went down. Getting Started First things first, I needed to get everything set up. I started by grabbing the necessary files. Honestly, finding the right stuff…

Okay, so I’ve been needing a new desk for, like, forever. My old one was this tiny, cramped thing that barely fit my monitor, let alone my keyboard and mouse. I finally decided to get serious and get a 55×28 inch desk – seemed like a good size without being totally massive. First, I measured…
