At the airport. Just 23 more hours and I'll be home. Hope everyone had a good Spring Break.

#IGiveARod here’s a great Donors Choose project for kindergartners in rural AK. #UglyDogs Get that match money from our three superstars, @esp1371.bsky.social , @mac-b5.stickimporters.com and @muppybean.bsky.social !

Looks like another good couple of weeks for indoor productivity on the horizon. Spring break next week for the kids. Actual spring, summer.. A single day of bluesky and some warmth, I am ready when you are.

Today with the nice bluesky, I had the construction crew get to work on building out the new house. Some days are just fun.

I have no idea if this game project will go anywhere. But it seems like a fun thing to try. #godot, #learning

Game development and parenting both involve fixing problems you didn’t know existed five minutes ago. #parenting, #godot, #indiedev

Hmm, maybe I'll go back inside. I didnt need to go anywhere today anyways.

One nice thing about small town Alaska. plenty of quiet time to learn something new. What’s the last new skill you tried learning completely from scratch?

Watching my youngest kid, snow falling outside, and trying to learn Godot at the same time. Progress may be slow, but its progress.

Day 0 of development. Finished the tutorials and started organizing the first scenes and nodes for the project. Now the real learning begins.

Hi, I'm Ben 👋 Dad, veteran, and currently teaching myself how to build video games.

Flying out of San Juan, Puerto Rico(SJU) today has been an experience. Still haven't boarded but been here 11 hours so far. All flights were canceled yesterday.

Happy 4th of July! #Birds #Birding #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #Photography #Animals #PhotographersUnited

Good morning all.

Im back, all.

One of my favorite short videos I took near my home on an island in #Alaska during the #Salmon run in late August. 4 #blackbears stopped by in the time I watched, and none went hungry. If there is enough interest I'll post the others. #bear, #nature, #fish, #summer, #forest, #coastal #PNW

Heading off island for a bit.

Snowstorm let up, although not exactly beachcombing weather.

Snow just started on west Prince of Wales Island. Predicting 5-8inchs. This is what I get for not checking the weather while scheduling this week.

SE Alaska never disappoints when the sun makes an appearance.

What's the coolest thing you have found beach combing? Mine is this glass float on the remote Warren island, Alaska in Dona Juana cove.

I lost and regained power 4 times last night. Quite the stormy night on my sleepy island. Will be curious to see if we had any more landslides when the sun comes up.

Couldn’t agree more.

Im enjoying these couple extra minutes a day of Alaska sunlight. Goodmorning all.

Live look at how the bot moderation is going—every time I look away another Alexa or Cami follows. Help.

This is worth another watch

Dogs are great! Meet Bruce.

So happy to have aurora already active in 2025! Here’s aurora road back in February of 2023. With the only bit of naked eye orange I’ve ever seen at bottom right. Which lasted a whopping 4-5 seconds max.

Two of my favorite photos from spring. My youngest is so curious, we were checking tidepools, and she found a starfish and some small hermit crabs and decided to join them with zero hesitation. The only thing that topped it was when she decided "mom" had to carry her home. #alaska, #adventure, #kids

This old bird has seen better days. Has anyone ever visited left behind wreckage of something cool? I took the photo last summer. More info on the wreck at the link. archive.ec47.com/oct2568.htm

Not again.. Poor mom

We have been opening every year of this decade in this way. And every year it is worse.
