That is true, but I usually print at the downtown public library because they have more options for nozzle sizes and I can print for free at the Digital Media Studio. I am working towards an Autodesk Fusion 360 certification. Here’s some of my recent projects:

A small 3d printed dog house with white and green stripes and a black roof

A picture frame made of 3d printed puzzle pieces in the colours beige, green, and orange. Framed on the picture is actor John Candy.

A miniature white spiral staircase beside a pair of glasses on a table

Happy new season of X-Men ‘97, for all who celebrate.

My fifth book of 2026 was The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer. Weirdly, Sally Phillips is not given a co-author credit and I wish the whole book was written by her. Bob Mortimer's writing is sometimes amusing and often meandering. The total of the sum parts were meh.

Inspired by @beckyhammer.bsky.social and @josephfray.bsky.social, I’m starting a 2026 book thread Jan 28, 2026: Richard Ayoade’s The Grip of Film. I loved the book, but you need a deep knowledge of 80s & 90s action movies and a weird sense of humour to appreciate it.

Book cover text that reads:

Richard Ayoade presents The Grip of Film By Gordy Lasure
'A WORK OF SHIMMERING, GLIMMERING GENIUS.’ STEPHEN FRY

Pictured is the drawing of a black man with an Afro and glasses. The man is very muscular and he is wearing a leather jacket with only one sleeve. Gripped in his hand is a roll of film.

I think there might be something weird going on because I have a ton of music saved on my phone. Do you have music videos? You can fix the problem by deleting the app and all the data, restarting your phone, and reinstalling the app.
