Was attempting to build an electric guitar starting with a hollowed out body of a Fender, but it's still very much a hollowed out body at this point. It's SO much harder to do than originally anticipated.

I know  has been busy building a house.

Content creation for my YouTube and Podcast. It's true the content was related to cyber security and digital transformation subject I do at work but technically not work-related. I am just a nerd and love what I do.

A Sustainability Project :). My neighbor renovated their large kitchen to sell the home adding new quartz counters, high end cabinetry ..the works. Barely 3 months later the new owner chose to rip out the renovation. Before it ended up in the dumpster, the almost brand new cabinetry is now being repurposed (and refinished) throughout my home installed as built-ins for walk in closests, a large stand-alone beverage center, a basement kitchenette etc. As for the 50 feet of quartz counters they are being re-cut for use as bathroom vanities, beverage center ..you name it. From the cabinet boxes to the handles we're using as much of it as we need/want and donating the rest to habitat for humanity and keeping it out of the landfill.

It might seem strange to do this but tonnes of these materials end up in the garbage or landfills every year. It's less work to take a sledge hammer to it then remove it carefully. It's sad to think of the waste.

If this is of interest you might check out companies like Renovation Angel a pioneer and leader in this field of recycling high end luxury kitchens, builder overstock, display centers.

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
