Maker labs

Digital fabrication, hand-painting, hardware customization, acoustic tuning - when I'm not automating spreadsheets, I'm building physical things. Current residents of my desk: Honkster Chief (the XBOX goose) and Darkside (the Seahawks goose, removable helmet included).

Honkster Chief - the XBOX goose, resident supervisor.

Darkside - the Seahawks goose, removable helmet included.

Two geese dressed up: one in a grey hoodie with a gold chain and headset, one in sunglasses — Game day fits. One of them owns a gold chain now.

Darkside the goose wearing a blue Seahawks hoodie with both wings raised, helmet on the ground — Darkside in his Seahawks hoodie - arms up, helmet down, ready for kickoff.

A hand-painted stack of wooden books used as a planter, with a small green sprout on top — Hand-painted book-stack planter, first sprout. The books are 3d printed; the plant is real.

The same painted book-stack planter seen from a lower angle — Same planter, second angle - stacked, painted, sealed.

A second book-stack planter, fully overgrown with a large pothos plant — The pothos moved in and took over. Draco approves.

A book-stack planter on a shelf at dusk, with painted book titles like Breakfast of Champions and On the Road — Evening shelf check: Vonnegut, Kerouac, Thompson. The reading list is load-bearing.
