There are three main perspectives in writing. The First-person perspective is the perspective of a character or the author. It describes the scene from the character’s point of view and can only include what the character can see and know. The Omniscient perspective is an outside view of the scene and can describe anything the […]
This assignment is to create a story mainly consisting of dialog. This was my submission. Let me know what you think. I’ll update this post with the instructor’s feedback if or when I get it. Update 2022-02-27 I got the full score for this story. The instructor’s comments were not surprising. As I was writing […]
The online Creative Writing for Beginners course I’m taking defines Creative Writing to be any writing, whether it’s how to write a web server in assembly language, the sex lives of long-dead civilizations, or cute scantily clad cat-girls fighting Demon Lords. The last is my favorite of the three. I’ve had some ideas for stories […]
I came to realize, a few years back, maybe 20 or so, that’s a few when you start getting old. Anyway, I realized a few years back that I liked being alone, and being around a lot of people made me tired. I learned that I was not “shy” as everyone had called me growing […]
If you’ve been to my site before then you may have read how I’m ashamed of my 3D printer and keep it in a closet where all shameful 3D printers and children should be kept. But don’t tell child services I said that, they take this kind of thing very seriously and they may take […]

I actually finished this quite some time ago but got busy with other things, work, binge-watching anime shows on Hulu, and building a wireless Arduino-based module for controlling a high-watt LED module I intend to use to provide light to the web camera pointed at the printer.

This post took a bit longer to get done because I took a bit longer to do it. Wait, that wasn’t helpful. Anyway, I tried something I was pretty sure wouldn’t work and didn’t. I hate being right all the time. Then, in spite of being tired, I rushed to get something simple together and […]
Wow … um, so I wrote the original draft of this post about 3 weeks ago. I intended to clean it up and post it within a couple of days of finishing my camera mount project but work got busy, I have a new manager who expects me to work. I know, what’s up with […]
The title is a reference to a previous post My first 3D project – “Disneyland is fun. This is not fun” where I vented my frustrations at problems I was having. Things have not improved much over the last few days. I started having print issues. Prints would fail. They wouldn’t adhere to the bed, […]
