Treasure tables are a good way of either getting through writer’s block or coming up with interesting loot during a game without the need to lay out a whole region full of treasure, but the process of rolling on a loot table is sometimes too slow to do while playing. This is a first-draft REST API in C# built on ASP.NET MVC and MySQL that provides the tabletop role-playing game treasure table experience in a way that could be incorporated into a website.

New catwalk for Kiki
Our cat, Kiki, likes to sit and look out our front window. This is a replacement catwalk for her that is compatible with our new vinyl windows.
Dry bar and stemware shelves
I repaired a credenza and made a pair of shelves to make a dry bar corner.
Fixing a jammed PS4 disc drive
When I went to load a game for the first time in this PS4, the slot drive blocked my disc. This drive has a little wall that it lifts up so that you don’t accidentally stick a disc in while the disc in the drive is spinning, but this drive had a bit of an underbite. That wall was jammed above its intended position and was locking the rest of the mechanism.
6DOF flight simulator controls with pedals
This is a simple human interface device that merges gameport joysticks and electric piano pedals to improve my performance in 6DOF flight simulators.
Model camper trailer
This 1:48 scale model camper trailer is perfect for a little winter village. It was designed from photographs and painted.
Simple skateboard rebuild
This was a very simple project, just stripping down a skateboard from a thrift store, painting it, and assembling it.
Ikea hack – Sconces
I installed some Ikea Återsken wall lamps as sconces in our house, which required some new electrical boxes and custom interfacing for the lamps.
Steep-angled laptop stand
This custom laptop stand is angled as steeply as it can be with the screen vertical. It helps to elevate the screen into the user’s field of vision and saves desk space.
Web server upgrade
Last night I finished and installed a new web server laptop, replacing the little one that had been running this site for the past two years.
