Hello! I'm Tyler.

This is a blog for writing about my projects. Over the past few years I've spent so much time bugging my friends with some rambling story about some mundane thing I spent all day doing.

I live in an apartment in Florida and have a tiny office where I work on stuff. I have a Bambu P1S 3D printer, a computer I built back in 2019 running Linux Mint, a Synology NAS, Multiboard tiles hanging on the wall to hold most of my tools, and a single dedicated workbench with just enough room for a Aixun soldering station, a cutting mat, and some papers or mats for drawing or painting.

I like modding electronics (with a special appreciation for the GameCube), making TTRPG terrain and rules, painting miniatures, creating storage solutions, writing Python scripts, and solving problems that only I understand or care about. I don't have any sort of formal STEM credentials, but I work in IT and test software and took a single C++ community college course. I do have a writing degree, but if I were actually using that for something you probably wouldn't be reading this (to be honest, you probably won't be reading this anyway).

My posts here are going to be pretty loosely structured and totally unscheduled. Generally I'll just talk about stuff I've finished, am actively working on, and plan to work on soon. It's my natural instinct to curate to the point where I only show the successes and what they look like, but I think it'd read better and keep me humble to talk about the many, many things I break or completely misunderstand. Every now and then I might talk about my TTRPG I've been developing for the past couple of years now or some things that have influenced or entertained me. It's my blog so I can do that.

There probably won't be any sort of community to spring up around this besides my friends occasionally checking in to make fun of each other for sleeping too much, but what else is the Internet for?
