I realize it’s 2025, and I haven’t posted to my site in a while. It’s not that I’ve lost interest—quite the opposite! I’ve been active on Instagram, Facebook, and a number of offline channels.
Life’s been busy. Work keeps me on my toes, and I’m loving my roles as husband and father to two amazing women! For fun, I’m still enjoying photography and remain actively involved with the Saint Louis Camera Club.
Lately, I’ve also developed a fascination with quirky musical instruments. My collection includes multiple Otamatones, a mouth harp, a tongue drum, a melodica, and nearly the full line of Stylophone synths. I’ve even started experimenting with the Knockout II sampler by Teenage Engineering (a very cool company—though their gear isn’t cheap!).
Technology continues to be a big part of my life. I recently upgraded my PC to better handle AI tools, video production, and photo editing—three areas I’ve been diving into more deeply. I’m also running two 3D printers: an Elegoo Saturn 3 Pro (resin printer) and a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro (FDM printer). I’m considering upgrading the Creality. It’s a solid printer—when it works. I was warned I was getting a hobby, not a printer, and they were right. Still, at the time, the more reliable options were three times the price.
I enjoy going back to New York to revisit the people and places I remember, but more and more often, I’ve found many have, like me, migrated to other parts of the country. I can’t blame them, as New York has become expensive. You get so much more for your money in other areas.
I can’t guarantee you’ll see a lot from me, but I’ll try to keep the site updated. Who knows, Maybe I’ll get to update the site and set up some integrations between this site and my more frequent homes on the Internet.
