Alright, so, I gotta tell you about this St. Lawrence Poker Run I did back on June 20th, 2024. Man, what a day! It was a real blast and I am still jazzed about it, I just need to tell everyone all the details. First off, I woke up early, like way earlier than I usually do on a weekday. I am not an early bird, but I needed to make sure I got there on time since I drove there from far away. I was hyped, I always wanted…

Okay, so, I’ve always wanted to try my hand at running a summer camp. I mean, who hasn’t dreamed of being the cool camp director, right? I finally took the plunge this summer, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. First things first, I had to figure out what kind of camp I wanted to run. Did I want to do an arts and crafts thing? Or maybe a sports camp? Or one of those camps with all the different activities? There are so many options out…

Okay, so I got this thing called “Pipescan,” right? It’s supposed to be some kind of high-tech gadget for checking out pipes and stuff. But before I could even get it going, I realized I needed some extra software to make it work. Turns out, it’s not as simple as just plugging it in and hitting “go.” So, the first thing I did was check the manual. You know, that little booklet that comes with everything and nobody ever reads? Yeah, that one. Well, it actually mentioned a couple of…

Okay, so, I was messing around with my boat’s electronics the other day, trying to figure out the best way to power my marine radio. I mean, you don’t want that thing dying on you when you’re out in the middle of nowhere, right? So, I started wondering if I should run it on a deep cycle battery. First, I grabbed my old deep cycle battery that I use for the trolling motor. It’s a bit hefty, but I figured it’s worth a shot. Then I connected it to the…

Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another hands-on project to share. Today, I dived into making a short-run jewel case with artwork. You know, there’s something really satisfying about holding a physical copy of your work, especially when it looks this good. So, let me walk you through how I made it happen. First off, I started brainstorming some ideas. I wanted the CD case to really pop and convey the vibe of the music inside. After a few rough sketches and throwing some concepts around, I finally…

Alright, guys, let me tell you about this “hit and run OCD” thing I went through. It’s a real pain, let me tell you. It all started one day when I was driving home from work. It was a normal day, nothing special. I was just cruising along, minding my own business, when I felt a little bump. I didn’t think much of it at first, figured I hit a pothole or something. But then, my mind started racing. “What if I hit something? What if I hit someone?” I…

Okay, so the other day I was trying to figure out what to do with my evening, and I remembered this play I’d heard about called “See How They Run.” I’d seen the name pop up a few times, and apparently, it’s a real hoot, a British comedy, you know? So, I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” First things first, I needed to know what this thing was even about. A quick search told me it’s a farce—lots of mistaken identities, slamming doors, and all that jazz. The…

Today, I wanted to mess around with some single-cell RNA sequencing data and figured I’d use the good old Seurat package in R. Everything was going smoothly until I hit the SCTransform step. I mean, this thing was taking forever to run! Seriously, I went to make a cup of coffee, came back, and it was still chugging along. I even had time to take a short nap! I’ve run it on smaller datasets before without a hitch, but this time it was like watching paint dry. So here’s a…

I always wanted to catch a big fish and a friend told me about this place called Sheboygan in Wisconsin. He said that the fishing there is great, especially for salmon, so I decided to check it out. I looked it up on the internet and found out that Sheboygan is right on Lake Michigan, which apparently is a huge lake with tons of fish. I drove there, and the first thing I noticed was how pretty the lake is. It’s really big, like an ocean, and the water is…

Okay, so I’ve been getting into running lately, and let me tell you, the sun in my eyes was a real pain. Squinting, headaches, the whole nine yards. I figured it was time to get myself some proper running sunglasses. So I start looking around, and there are tons of options. But I needed something that wouldn’t bounce around or slide off my sweaty face. First, I tried on a few pairs at a local sports store. Some were too tight, others felt like they’d fly off with a gust…
