Merry Christmas

The logo lives!

I had a good day making bags. Here’s my new office. I’m in a co-working place in Walnut Creek and I’m the only person there without a computer.

Michael Jackson also came in after hours with two kids and we had to wait around for an hour while they looked at books and I didn’t even get paid. I was running the checkout desk at the time but the head of the library came and relived me when it was time to check out the books.

I worked at the Beverly Hills Public Library in the 90s and two kids tried to check some books out with an expired card so I asked them if their parent could come in renew it and so they went and got John Lithgow out of the car. He was nice!

We took a trip to Hawaii last month and Amber liked the bag I made myself so much that she asked for one too, but in yellow. So I made this yesterday for her✨

I just finished making dinner when John McAfee called me to ask why I’d banned him.

(Also look at this pizza frame bag I made a couple weeks ago.)

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to these days. It’s incredibly gratifying to make a bag from scratch. There’s a lot of problem solving and planning which feels a lot like programming sometimes.

Here’s my workspace.

Hi! I made this bag today.

Shaq trying to find the Twitter office.

Pretty fun.

Halfway there. Laced but not fully tensioned and trued. I’m very proud of myself. Even lined up the Phil hub logo to the valve hole. 👌🏽

Teaching myself how to build a bike from scratch by slowly replacing everything on a current bike. All the black parts here are new. Going to (attempt to) build a wheel this week if the parts arrive.

Also thanks to @billmaya for adding some stuff last year. I think if you compile it it won’t look quite like the current one on https://t.co/3BwPhw1AcL but we were hoping to have hot keys and other stuff people were asking for. Anyway, goodbye! Enjoy your Friday!

Also, you can save yourself a ton of time and just get

If you use the code for something feel free to give Tyke credit—or not. I don’t care. I’m not looking to manage an open source project either. Sorry!

👋🏽 Hey, since I get a lot of requests to update Tyke and I don’t really remember how any of it works and don’t write code anymore, I opened the source up https://t.co/nbAEL4ZYnE if you wanna fork it and add dark mode or NFTs I dunno.

Made a bag in 1 day. The flap was made a few weeks ago, but the checklist makes the whole process really quick. I think I could get more (2? 3?) done in a day but I have other stuff I need to do. (This is XPac vx21 fabric btw)

The checklist…
