Actively acquiring new skills eg I am learning Swift, Swift UI, Python, React, Fauna DB, Parse, Firebase etc. I've created my own VPN recently, and am modelling and printing useful and fun things on my 3D printers. In addition I make my own racing drones, and planes, I like to work with wood. I have lots of fun, cool or risqué teeshirt and products online which I sell in various online stores eg, and I also print some occasionally on my vinyl cutter.
