This time I'm trying something a little different. I'm making a phone case, and by me I actually mean me with the help of my brother. My Brother recently got him self a CNC machine, that means I got a CNC machine. Just so happens I also recently got a new phone. A fairphone 5, and since I lack self control, and that little voice that goes "you cant do that". I decided to try and make my own phonecase out of wood.

Feedback is much appreciated.

The box is made from reclaimed wood, and she is super happy with it.

Was nerver a big social media person, never really posted or interacted with a personal account on intagram,Facebook etc. When I, a couple of years ago, began filming and documenting my creations. I made a bunch of social media accounts on basically all the platforms(because thats what you are supposed to do). Got some followers, never in the thousands or even hundreds for that matter. But I figured it's probably because I'm not trying to click-bait or follow the latest trends. I wanted to be genuine, still am. But the interactions often times felt like bots. A couple of Smiley's, a like. Someone followed then never again an interaction with a post. I did set out to make things because I love making things and learning new skills, but got lost on the way. The lower the effort my post had the more interactions. 50-minute video of a woodworking project from start to finish with voice over and explanations, 10 views. 15 second video of a toy car rolling on a track, 2500 views.

And the incessant, follow for follow trends by grifters.

Dead internet theory rang in my head.

I missed the old internet and began dreaming about setting up my on forum with no bots allowed, like in the old days(Yes I'm old enough to remember). Then I learned that mastodon was part of the fediverse, but I had never heard of the fediverse, and mastodon I thought was like twitter for sysadmins.

I've almost completely transitioned to the fediverse now. I have yet to delete my YouTube account, but I now also have a peertube channel.

I've seen posts about It being hard to get followers on the fediverse, and mastodon. But I'd gladly post to the the ether, if that one in 50 posts is an actual human responding or liking what I do.

Thanks for reading.

I mean there is everything from bands like Korpiklaani, In extreme and Tengger cavalry to Bloodywood, Myrath.

Spring has arrived in all its glory

So why not adorn your desktop with a floral background?

Over the past few months, I haven’t had any significant amount of time to either sit in Blender and create or engage in other creative pursuits for that matter. But the other day, when the sun was shining and the bumblebees were gently buzzing around the garden, I got the idea to photograph some of the flowers that had blossomed. When I later looked at these creations, it felt only natural to add them to my Wallpaper git-repo.

For full transparency; I am not a photographer and these pictures were taken with a mobile phone.

These images are some of those found in the "Nature" folder. All wallpapers in the entire repo are CC:BY — free to use, share, and modify as long as the creator, in this case me, is attributed.
