I'm always trying to learn new things. Lately it's Rust programming, CNC machining, ROS, OpenCV.

My superpower is underestimating time to complete tasks.

I just completed "Aplenty" - Day 19 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/19

I'm gonna get there. Eventually.

The Pop Fidget is now available!

This fidget uses a TPU gasket that's entirely contained within a rigid frame.

Challenge your multi-material printer to accurately produce the base in one go. Or assemble the base mid-print with a well timed pause.

I made a little jig for joining railing pieces, using my CNC.

I just completed "Point of Incidence" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/13

That was a relief after Day 12.
