Hi, I’m Jim.

He is my favorite thing I’ve ever built 🧩 I built a LEGO Jimothy!

🦝 I finally got a frame for Jimothy and he has taken his place next to Macho Man Randy Savage, some LEGOs, a couple Labubus, and the Tiger King.

When we bought our new dishwasher last week, we figured we’d save the $250 it would’ve cost to have it installed and just do it ourselves.

It still blows my mind that I can get photos like this from a phone.

Week of September 27 💻 Melissa has been wanting to get back into using her Cricut, but the iPad app kind of sucks and is far more limited than the desktop version.

I have 2 Gbps fiber Internet service through Xfinity.

Week of September 20 📱 Shortly after getting the iPhone 18 Pro, I decided that I wanted to return it and get the Pro Max.

After a couple of months elsewhere, I’m back on Pika.

Week of August 9 😔 Nick went back home to Portland on Tuesday.

This definitely “Didn’t Suck” After hearing great things about the place for a few years, and my brother swearing their “Didn’t Suck” cheesesteak is one the best Philly cheesesteaks that he’s ever had, we decided on a whim to drive down to SMP Mini Mart (…

It’s Ozzy the camel!

I hate when they leave 😩 About to head into security Navigating the maze

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you might remember last fall’s iPhone adventure.

Week of July 12 😊 Nick gets here on Tuesday, I can’t wait.

Pretty short update this week.

I love the 80s packaging.

Week of June 28 🌮 There is a new Mexican restaurant that opened up in town and it’s really good.

A week or two ago, I tried to submit the site’s sitemap.xml file in the Google Search Console (GSC).

Relatively short one this week.

One of the things in my “wanted” list when I wrote Pika Wishlist for 2026 was better tools for the site footer layout.
