A blog of a variety of projects
Over the last month or so I have been working on routing data cables through our house so that every room is connected to a switch, router, and modem in our basement utilities room. It was a lot of work, but the result is that we now have 2 RJ45…
I’m currently obsessed with Splatoon 3, so a couple of weeks ago I joined a crafting party that my wife put together to customize this hoodie.
At the end of last year we fixed some issues that had been bothering us in our bedroom. We stripped the popcorn off our bedroom ceiling, repainted everything, and replaced all the trim. This is the second room we have done this in now, and I didn’t initially intend to…
We have a Yamaha player piano that I have been using off and on for around 15 years. It needed some work to maintain the hammers and make sure it can record correctly.
I was getting tired of soldering new a new cable on my headphones every few months, so I replaced the cable with a female 3.5mm headphone jack on the headphones. This is a cheap and easy improvement to any pair of wired headphones.

My office is a small desk against a window in between two cabinets, so I 3D-printed some brackets to hang the pegboard from the cabinets, as well as a couple useful things to hang on them.
