Jack O’ Laterns 2025
Been a minute since I’d bothered to do this. Forgot how much fun it is! Very happy with how my more traditional one came out, very… demonic.
Growing older…
…but not so gracefully. He’s very photogenic but can be quite the asshole - but I love him no matter how he acts.
Smiling corgi
One hell of a photogenic pup.
Finally getting a podium
Managed to get 2nd in the RWD class at this sprint race. It might sound trivial to some people, but I'd been chasing a podium at this thing for a bit now. There's such an incredible high from knowing that you were able to actually compete and be fast - and with how fast everyone here was, it feels even better. Now to figure out moving on to bigger stages.
Sprint Racing
Participating in a sprint race at Dirtfish. Was actually happy with my performance on this one!

Corgi Boba
He steals every toy that's put out for him and his brother. He then brings them to me periodically, demanding to play. It'd be annoying if it wasn't adorable.
Shing02: Battle Cry
The encore of the show. I usually skip this song but I can see why they chose it for the encore - crowd erupted and it was a good tonal shift from Luv Sic.
Shing02: Luv Sic
For whatever reason, I listened to this set quite a bit after my little brother passed away. It was amazing to see it performed live... even if my feet were killing me afterwards.
BBQ Juicy Marbles
Their new short ribs product is nothing short of amazing. Pretty much the gold standard in meat replicas as far as I'm concerned.
Vegan brisket experiment
A washed-flour seitan brisket with boiled down peach tree gum to mimic a fatty layer. Probably one of my most successful experiments! Most people agreed that the mouth feel and taste were much closer than they expected it to be. Just a shame that I avoid wheat these days due to allergies... otherwise I would've pushed this idea further.
Co-drivers are amazing
Rally is a unique sport where you generally have a co-driver who handles calling out pace notes (among other things). Really helpful when fatigue starts setting in!
