2026 May – Stuff I Use
With May almost completed, I wanted to provide an update to the different things I use on a daily basis. That means that the June update should be released quicker…lots of new gear (I also had Gemini create the image, to see what would happen and I am going with the first item it creates)! […]
2026 April Stuff I Use
April rolled in quickly and the fun continues! I had a few changes this month and I should be able to catch up with updates to the list of stuff I use during the May update. With April, not only are some large milestones keeping me busy, I am also trying to be more involved […]
Manticore from #CW3D!
Kitsune! (…and my daughter already commandeered it)
It is awesome to see how nature played a huge role in my wife’s artistic endeavors. Seeing the water pool in the leaf a couple of days ago brought back some memories!
The CryoGrip Frostbite plate has arrived! ❤️
The place to be!
…and a caterpillar by the same designer! 🤙🏻 #cinderwing3D
Little 3D-printed bee from file designed by Cinderwing3D!
I love when work takes me to OGG. Always glad to see the station folks!
I am living vicariously through the family (I had to adult a bit and couldn’t make the last second trip to ITO)…wow, nature is amazing!
2025 December Load Out
Moving into December, it has been definitely been a rollercoaster of both activity and emotions. I am looking forward to the trip out of country this month (wooo, Japan), yet there is a lot of work to complete until then!

2025 October Loadout (Posted Super Late)
As of the middle of October, the family and I have finally finished moving (now let the unpacking and "Spring" cleaning begin/continue)! This move consumed a lot of my time, so I did not share my promised monthly status update post in September where I was going to share a rather large life change that occurred. So, what’s the big change: If you follow me on LinkedIn you already know I was given the opportunity to continue with the combined Hawaiian Airlines/Alaska Air organization as an Enterprise Systems Engineer, focusing on mobility (woooo!).
Now that things are settling down, I want to commit to creating some more general content (usually with a tech spin) and start doing my how-to videos on YouTube again. I have already pinged my friend, Doc, and asked him to hold me accountable if I don’t meet the deadlines I am going to be setting.
If you all have any questions about the items below (or my status update), please feel free to reach out as I am always glad to share my thoughts. The actual November update will also come out a bit quicker as my goal is to have it posted by mid-November.
Without further ado, the changes plus the detailed list are below:

Mahalo, HNL DTS! Was a fun event riding the rail definitely gives you a different perspective (versus being stuck in traffic)! #holocard #hnlskyline
Time to drink some matcha! 🍵
Yup, I am really liking the “Master Chief” look!
2025-08 Loadout
So far, it has been an action packed August with a really positive piece of information that I’ll be able to share in September. One item that I can share is that I’ll be moving, so I’ll be focusing on Spring cleaning and getting rid of items I haven’t used for some time. The administrative side of moving (maybe the physical aspect, too) is what I dread the most, as having to update my address at so many different locations is a slog!
If you all have any questions about the items below, please feel free to reach out as I am always glad to share my thoughts.
