Here's my 2 old laptops running different Jurassic Park screensaver programs from the 1990's, and some colorful floppy disks I found online!
Desk with 2 laptops, and a silver 5:4 monitor. The laptops have images from The Lost World of Jurassic Park, and the original Jurassic Park movies. 2 laptops, the left Dell laptop shows an image from The Lost World where a T-Rex is opening its jaws next to the window on a trailer, with the people inside looking terrified. The right Panasonic Toughbook laptop has a very small image if 2 brachiosaurus grazing among the trees. 5 floppy disks. There is a blue, lime green, orange, lightish ted, and purple transparent colors. An old floppy disk storage box with a locking mechanism on it. Inside the transparent lid are more floppy disks with the blue, lime green, purple, orange, and light red transparent colors. There are also disk dividers and unused labels to make what is written on a disk.

I've been doing a lot of online thrifting this year. One cool find is an Apple Studio monitor that matches my PC in a Power Mac G4 case. It'll be used to show off my many pictures.

I also finalized the inside of my PC PowerMac. New fan placements keep everything nice and cool.
Laying on the couch playing Pacific Drive, showing off my PC in a G4 case, and living room decorations. Apple Studio display in front of my AC unit, showing a picture of a sunflower and with a mini t-rex skull in front of the monitor. Table showing off a book, DVD cases, a game, and computer power cords. The dvds are some of the original Star Trek movies, 1st seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Stargate Atlantis. The game is Starcraft 2 in box. My hobby room desk. Featuring the Apple Studio monitor until I get a HDMI to VGA adaptor for the HP monitor on the right of the desk. To the left is a small bookcase with various crafting supplies, Lego Jurassic World toys, and a Steam Machine running Commodore OS Vision. To the left side of the desk is a mini anvil, and a Videonics editing box with a CD/DVF drive and floppy drive sitting on top of it. On the right side of the table are 2 laptops stacked in front of the HP monitor.

Last month I installed replacement InGen logos on my Lost World of JP merc. And I added Ian Malcolm's famous quote "Life, uh, finds a way" from the first film. Seemed double fitting not only to have more JP related things on the car, but also because of my condition and trying to live on.

I was working as a seasonal park ranger (state, then federal with the DOI) when I first got Covid during a winter job between my ranger seasons. It's been just over 3 years since then and I had to give up that career because of my severity. Maybe one day I can return but for now that's not possible.

Hi! These were my main project vehicle(s) from 2018 until Covid took me out in 2022. Inspired by the vehicles from The Lost World of Jurassic Park, I started with a 1999 ML320 and then converted a 2020 6x12 enclosed trailer into a small camper. Both are nearly complete but I'm now unable to finish.
2023, sick and living homeless out in freezing temps. With the help of friends I got unstuck from the snow and one of them very graciously allowed me to live with them until they moved 2 months before I was approved for disability.
