Hey, I'm Val!
Recently retired systems engineer with a passion to build, repair, restore and modify. Here, I document my projects, hobbies, and interests. See something you like or think I can help?  Reach out!

A small jewelry design project with my daughters, launching in 2025. 

A tracker for my newly found interest in woodworking and garden projects.

A tracker for my cars including all the weird ones I choose to modify... but why?

I build, repair, and sometimes resell desktop, laptop and mini PCs. 

A tracker for my homelab/server setup.

Homebrewing and craft beer blog circa 2008-2009.  What a time.

 Cringe zone - enter at your own risk. Circa Y2K. Complete with GIFs and foul language.

The idea was to photograph all skate spots in the city and profit by collaborating with the skateboard community. Many photos were taken with a film camera, developed, scanned and uploaded.  Eventually high school got in the way. Will fix the site to be browsable for the nostalgia. 

Ahh, to be in school again.  The birth of my media hoarding "hobby". Online for almost 24 years :)
