Back in the day, I occasionally made blog posts about small gems I’d find on YouTube. Mostly it was to share what I found interesting, but it also made excellent “I can’t come up with new material, so I’ll post something random for now” fodder. I think it’s time to make another such post. The…

Inklenook: Furniture Window Shopping
This short should have been done last month, but due to Apple trying to fix what was never broken and therefore breaking and preventing fixing… *sigh* Despite all the setbacks, the newest short is done. I get to add more to the Inklenook ecosystem. That’s what matters. And I get to use more Tomodachi Life…
Vinesauce: The Questening: The Revisitening
Two years ago, I began a “quest” to help myself recover the memory of my first Vinesauce video. Today, I’m restarting it and giving it new life. Although I’m only posting the first installment of the project, I have plans to spruce it up a bit with illustrations—maybe even give the entire thing its own…
Brainpie Revisited
Or Take a Look at One of Ellie’s Older Projects Or Back When Ellie Was More Active in the Kitchen Lately I’ve been feeling the old itch to experiment in the kitchen again. I miss looking up recipes, compiling careful grocery lists, and hunting down obscure ingredients like they were treasure. I miss looking through…
Tabletop Game and Card Devving #2: The Bricking
I’d made plans to post last week and share a couple of images from my updates for the game. Instead, I foolishly agreed to update my iPad to iOS 26. Long story short, Apple’s precious attempt to fix what was never broken ended up breaking my post-warranty iPad. Several attempts to update via iTunes and…
Tabletop Game and Card Devving #1
There’s been a lot going on recently, and I’m amazed that my efforts to develop a tabletop game haven’t gone to pot. How many months has it been since I decided I wanted to make a game and have it play tested at Unpub? It’s less than two months away, and I’m still going. I’m…
For the Friends Who Want to Reconcile
Note: In the interest of supporting the tarot/occult community and its artists, I’ll be using custom tarot decks to illustrate some of my readings. Although I see AI as a tool that can be used and abused just like any other, I know some people seethe at the idea of it. I cannot guarantee that…
First Post of the New Year
It’s still early in the new year but I’m feeling something different about 2026. A cleansing, a disappearing, a vanishing of something that’s been hanging around my psychic space like an albatross for the past two-ish years. But it’s gone, or at the very least, rapidly fading. This may sound like a big mystery for…
Token at the Christmas Party
It’s a short, but working on this made me realize something: the camera also contributes to action and emotion. Here’s a GIF of this animatic, at the full resolution: Your eyes don’t quite know where to land, do they? This was going to be the video itself, but something told me to use a camera…
For the Streamer Seeking Clarity in a Trying Situation
The YouTube algorithm sometimes gifts me random videos that bring joy or new project ideas. Recently it started feeding me collective tarot readings. Or “collective readings”. Well, they’re more like vague horoscope readings with performance antics and glitzy imagery, but that’s probably a rant for a future video essay. Anyway, the idea stuck with me.…
