I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.

I created an email service called https://port87.com
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.

I’m working with a school metal shop to make steel frames for them and I’ve made the cups 3d printable and easy to replace. Of he does manage to break these, it will take no skill to repair them.
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
Free RPG content, which I’d be happy to share with you:
