Former Bi-Vocational pastor of a small rural church. I've done it! I have a job in IT and I'm loving it! I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we have two huskies. My hobbies include tinkering with electronics, 3D printing, networking, smart home, woodworking, and some gaming.
I'm slowly building out a smart home. I have plenty of the Google Minis, but still building out things with Acara door sensors, Philips Hue motion sensors, Govee lights, and the like. I use Home Assistant and Google Home, and have one Alexa device. Eventually I'd like to get into some sort of presence sensing to further some automations. I have an aging Dell R710 server that will need to be replaced sometime in the near future, if not for anything to reduce power consumption.
I have two printers: a near-stock Ender 3 S1 Plus, and an Ender 3 3D printer with... some... mods. My favorite print so far is the 17" tall Optimus Prime fully articulated figure. I guess eventually I need to print a Megatron. Or maybe a Bumblebee...
I don't do as much woodworking as I'd like. :(
I like video games, but don't have the time to spend on them anymore. I grew up with the OG NES, SNES, GCube, and the like, as well as a few PS2/PS3/PS4 games. While I don't get to play games much, I like the art and things around video games as well. For instance, I saw a Japanese Edo period inspired Samus print that blew my mind: https://shop.ukiyoeheroes.com/collections/giclee-prints/products/infestation-giclee-print
Or music boxes that use melodies from the original games (there are plenty of Zelda ones out there!). Or wooden replicas of NES carts. Those things I'm starting to really dig.
The Mrs. and I like to travel when we can. We love Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. We want to get out to Arizona and Cali for a visit.
I'm pretty conservative when it comes to clothing. I'm at home in a nice pair of jeans and a comfy t-shirt. I don't do a lot of things with logos, but I do have a few things sci-fi related.
I try to update my Amazon wish list as often as I remember, but do not think that you have to get me something from that.
