I spent the past couple of years designing a board game with a few friends and I finally finished it and put it up on Kickstarter so it’s cheaper to mass-produce. It’s a rogue-lite game where deck-building or leveling up is a constant balance.

I Upgraded my Walmart Price Scrapper to Multiple Stores
My original post was focused primarily on monitoring Walmart prices. I’ve since expanded it to support four different stores including Target, Bestbuy, and GameStop. Originally, I only updated it to include Target and Bestbuy, and the article I wrote completely disappeared when I upgraded WordPress. As I added GameStop, I decided I had to change …

I Trained AI to Make Art
I’ve become fascinated with AI in case my previous article wasn’t clear enough. Oddly enough, I’ve been curious with OpenAI’s engine and defining what it thinks art is by telling it what I want. OpenAI will search a database of pictures with tags and create what I write based on what it “thinks” I’m asking …
The Best Video Game Composer
This is a hotly contested question I’ve seen on Reddit from time to time. You see the normal names thrown out there like Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy fame, or Keiichi Okabe from the Nier series, Koji Kondo from the Zelda games, and many others. I think a better question is: how do we define …
UFOs v UAPs v Aliens

My eldest son has been obsessed with a Coilbook TV show episode involving a police chase across different timelines.

I Made a Walmart Price Scrapper
I built a price checker for Walmart that will both identify pricing of whatever item I choose both in store and compare it to online. Why? Because I didn’t want to pay a service to do it.
Legal Things That Shouldn’t Be
America is the best country in the world, right? Though, I don’t know how you could prove it when the US is not #1 in many categories except Gross Domestic Product and most incarcerations per capita. Wait, never mind, China took over GDP in 2018. Well, America has the highest cost of healthcare in the …
Best Metal Albums Ever
It should be no surprise to anyone who personally knows me that I’m a huge metal fan. For those, who didn’t know that – surprise! I’ve thought a lot over the years about which albums are the best. Every time I listen to something new, I try to gain a new perspective on music and …
Possibilities in New Music
Before you read any further, keep in mind that there are no new recordings to share at this time. I’ve been rediscovering my love for writing music and been contemplating what I would do next. Discovering new bands and new passions for sounds have reinvigorated my inspiration and creativity.
