I write words. Some of them are good.

Sci-fantasy tales with Norsey bits and whatever I post on my blog.

Rainbows are cool. Fascists are not.
Don’t give our jobs to a robot.
A sabacc friend is making a new dice game based on his own culture.

I’m helping.

The concept is chinese hoo-how-hey or fish/prawn/crab. Apparently its the same but named different in a few asian cultures.

These have star wars critters and droids instead.

Just fun project for a friend

I’ve got the video of my reading at this year’s Steampunk November poetry slam.

I was a judge, so this is just for fun.

A rock flew up and hit hard. Got tiny glass shards on my dash.

Not a good start to our trip

About an hour ago, my dog Athena passed away. She was. Bit over 14 and a half years.

She was a Good Dog.

Happy topic: after 27 years i am finally building a patio cover.

Bucket+cement+PVC pole based.

1st pole’s cement is drying.

Hope to setup a pole per night, and assemble on friday (taking day off)

No more melting while letting dog out

Yay

I been busy making swarzy stuff out of prescription pill bottles, and LED pucks.

The red ones are refined strontium because that’s a thing.

The orange ones are still figuring out what they might be. But they’re done.

I made the second blueberry pie yesterday.

I even let it cool over night.

Yum.

I made a blueberry pie with fluted crust.

It’s cooling now…

Just a can of pie glop and ready crust. Still should be yum

Designers from the Andor show posted pics of stuff they designed. Among them were Luthen’s identicard and variant identities.

I’ve managed a fairly faithful replication for my own SW character.

Btw, BBY0 is 0-4 years off imperial year 7977 based on Luthen’s IDs and actor’s age

Day 3 is done. Pics from wife’s phone are sync’d. Sitting at Pappadeux for our annual end of con meal.

Day 1 of Comicpalooza is done.

I won a lightsaber in a raffle from CrimsonDawn

Took some photos at the star trek booth

Managed to get some crafting done despite working a good chunk of the weekend.

The local sabacc group wants RDID cards to check in to the cantina based on the prop pics of Luthen’s various identicards.

So i worked out a prototype on cardboard using my laser engraver

They’re here!

My standee and 3d print of my human warlock from heroforge!

Mini for the battlemat. Standee for the initiative conga line.

Pieces trimmed and hinged. Layout works.

Next steps is the latch, staining, and finishing

Another early start in the shop. Made a fancy design for the initiative tracker, left side engraved (42minutes). Right side is in the machine.

Which style do you like better?

See alt text for more explanation, and description
May 18, 2025 at 1:26 PM
Here is the left + right side prototype. Ends would be trimmed to make slots even, and a hing in the middle.

I also found one more piece of scrap wood in the size i need. So i’ve 3 pairs, the first being the misburned prototype pieces.

I might be able to salvage the prototype for a third tracker

Let me known if you see the problem…
May 17, 2025 at 4:01 PM
Laser at work on left side prototype of initiative tracker.

As two hinged pieces, it will have 24 numbered slots (printed right side and upside down along opposite edge).

Place your token on your initiative number and we’ll quickly sort out turn order for an encounter

Testing alignment and power levels on laser engraving my initiative tracker on scrap wood

It works.

I made a mini for my new warlock d&d character. A scholar turned adventurer.

Slight mistake in heroforge as i forgot to recolor the sleeves before ordering it. But looks pretty cool.
