Happy 2026 to my growing Spatial Reality, Maker, and Drift Families. I love and appreciate each and every single one of you.

And now as is tradition in this House, we greet the morning with Cats, Coffee, and Toprock.

Pardon my huffing. I forget I'm 52 and think I can still bust out hard 6-step.

Pampering a shop robot. A story in three parts.

Part 3, convinced.

The AMS HTs are nice. New OEM 0.4 hardened nozzle, 'cheap' prototyping carbon fiber for the first test plate. My tuned optimal baseline settings for printer-toolhead-filament-job.

Not even using my good toolhead and nozzles yet.

Pampering a shop robot. A story in three parts.

Part 2, that one where your initial baseline test print turns into a bullseye leaving you without words.

Part 1, the installation coupled with a lot of skepticism.

We're house (farm) poor for a bit. Someone spot me a few stacks to buy a development chassis for BFVR Labs.

So, I got up to no good on Saturday ~ Part 4

For 150 dollars I get to drive like an absolute lunatic, chasing after absolute lunatics. This time my friends brother got the math wrong on the old Scandi flick. I knew it eased off just enough to watch the show unfold, giggling.

So, I got up to no good on Saturday ~ Part 3

Raymond gave me that E-Ticket ride in the AE86, so in turn I gave his son a Pro level Taxi Ride in the ABARTH complete with a rolling stoppie down from triple digits.

Not many people have experience a rolling stoppie in a car :)

So, I got up to no good on Saturday ~ Part 2

I learned drift in VR in sim on the World Drift Tour Street AE86. Hours doing drills, practice. I know that WTD Street AE86 like an old pair of shoes. Raymond gave me my first slide in the real deal / real world. It was dreams.

I just realized I now own acres of private farmland, a backhoe, and hogs.

Gotta say that's got me pretty bricktopped up.

So I started taking Latin lessons to bolster my Italian.

I had no idea that taking Latin would also lift the fog on so much of my UNIX regex skillset by cross-context knowledge gap filling.

Given how my brain works it loves Latin and wonders why we have other languages? It has no fat on it at all.

Here I sit in an augmented body that sounds like a bag of ratchets covered with scars and wounds. Bonuses include bald on top and 10x the hair everywhere else.

And the US Alpha Males are worried about bitch tits.

Here's a Hot Pro Gamer Strat for California and the CHP:

Crack down on fixing the highways and I wouldn't have to use the same technique driving them as I used for riding my CR500 down abandoned railroads where the faster you go the smoother the ride gets over the track timbers.

You cabbages.

I should not be allowed anywhere near CAD software or rapid prototyping tools.

I pumped so much money into this cabinet in the arcades that I should have just bought one.

Golfland USA in Sunnyvale at an 8 seat competition unit and held a Grand Prix Competition weekend.

I didn't just win, I devastated every single person I was put against in the bracket straight to the top.

Experiments in application of simulation, digital communication, and modern virtual reality to provide a consequence free environment.

In this instance the only thing missing for me was a paper plate of tacos and a soda on the roof of my 350Z.

It merits further investigation.

Hanging out on the public Voice Chat of the BFVR Labs discord server with the livestream box while I sit in the simpit working vampire hours.

If you use Discord, feel to pop in and chat... it's a big empty house, it's creepy this late.

Doing some Spicy Plumbing since I'm up on Italy time.

Trying to determine why I am home alone in SF House with it literally shut down to a bedroom, office, and kitchen yet the PG&E bill is stupid high.

We have gas heat, gas dryer, gas stove. Nearly everything is unplugged but what I need to work.

If the original American Steelworkers who built that skyscraper saw that image they would immediately trim that beam to spec just right of frame.
