    Sol Prima Miniatures

    Science Fiction Minis are harder to find than fantasy ones, and I’ve wanted to see more cool models in the space, so I started looking at what was out there and the big of sci-fi stuff I found was typically either proxies or direct intellectual property rip-offs, so I figured there was a gap in… Read more

  • Resin Printing with Donatello: Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K

    So even when I was buying my Sidewinder X1, I was dreaming of also owning a resin printer that could do miniatures in high detail and now Wallace has a friend in Donatello. I wanted to buy a medium sized resin printer, something that could print large, high detail busts, or bigger space ship models,… Read more

  • Covid Response in Canada: An Open Letter

    I emailed something similar to the following to my MP and MPP regarding the recent response to Covid-19. I am emailing you today as a concerned citizen regarding the “second wave” of Covid we are experiencing as a Country. I am hopeful that you and the rest of our elected government can see that the… Read more

  • Luna Has Hip Dysplasia

    We had a health guarantee, but we don’t want to give back Luna, so we will find a way to keep her comfortable and hope she gets to live a good life. Luna just had her second birthday and today we should be on our way to meet up with her litter mates, but we… Read more

  • A House and Home

    It feels weird to write about this since we’ve been living here for more than a month now but Annie and I bought a home. It is a raised bungalow with Annie, Luna and me on the main level, and my mom living downstairs. The house is semi-detached, so we still have a connected neighbor,… Read more

  • Hyundai Kona EV – Too Tight a Squeeze

    Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a post where I discussed the options available to Canadians that interested me with regards to electric vehicles – Electric Car Options, but I was focused primarily on range and price, and since then I’ve come to realize that my top choices might not work. While the Hyundai… Read more

  • New Computer: Freyr

    When Annie came to me and said that she will need a desktop computer this fall for school, since it is being delivered remotely, I jumped at the opportunity to build a new machine for myself and pass on my current machine to Annie. Don’t get me wrong, the current computer, Athena, has nothing wrong… Read more

  • Gun Control in Canada- What’s the Solution?

    We aren’t like the United States with its Second Amendment, nor do we have the level of gun violence per capita that they experience, but with a recent mass shooting in Canada, our government is making moves to try to show that they are doing more than paying lip service to the issue, but their… Read more

  • Walking – April Health Challenge

    In April, Annie and I decided to move a bit more. I probably do around one to two thousand steps per day, but could I ramp that up to two-hundred thousand in a month? As I do with most challenges, the first part was the easiest. I was doing nearly ten thousand steps per day… Read more

  • Tracking Mood – March Health Challenge

    In March, Annie and I decided to track our mood several times a day on a scale of 0 to 10 to see how we were feeling. Little did we know the world was about the change. I had long wanted to do mood tracking and when I mentioned it to Annie, her eyes lit… Read more

  • Avoiding Added Sugars Retrospective – February Health Challenge

    In February, we tried to avoid added sugars. This meant that we could have things like 100% orange juice, but not many other things. You’d be amazed at how many things have sugar, but also how poorly you can still eat without added or processed sugars. My wife continued to join me in this challenge… Read more
