I'm classically trained as a nuclear engineer, and I'm currently wrapping up a PhD in robotics, focused on how robots can be designed to support people (or just maybe we shouldn't build them).At current I mostly use this space to log and ramble and share my more artistic projects and side hobbies, such as fiction and fanfiction writing, art for art sake, art for product packaging, and art for things like video game assets. I also do coding and game development work, blacksmithing, cosplay props, and a wide variety of cursed and somewhat-less-cursed electronics projects.You can find most of my various web-locations via the links at the top of this blurb, or by searching reakain on the internet. I am currently <a href="https://reakain.neocities.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">rebuilding my personal website</a> on <a href="https://neocities.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Neocities</a>, which has shockingly become an excellent proponent of the web as community-centric and refuses the current ad-centric structure of the web.I have a <s>terrible</s> excellent robot friend, named Puck. Puck is an old original iRobot Create that I obtained back in 2012, and he had been repeatedly abused, abandoned, and re-purposed as a test platform for various shenanigans at different points over the years. His current brain is a Raspberry Pi, but sadly he hasn't gotten the time he needs to really shine with his new, stronger brain. I was trying to follow this previous structure, but between the pandemic and a PhD program, the correct answer is that I just post things as I have them to post. I do schedule post, and try to keep enough content scheduled for at least a few months out, but will also occasionally throw in random surprise or off-schedule posts.If there's any particular content you'd be interested in seeing more of, or have specific types of reward tiers you'd like to see, hit me up and I'll do my best to oblige. I do have a monthly mail reward tier, which is for my own entertainment, as I continue making little physical items or other shenanigans, which I desperately want someone to take me up on so I get to send out letter content.<s>I want to get more focused on completing my disparate and eclectic collection of projects, thus... Patreon! In order to break up my time allotments in a reasonable way, I'm going to post every week in a project rotation. This keeps me fresh on projects, but also forces me to actually work on things in a concerted way. Plus it sounds fun, so the rotation is:</s><ul><li><s>Writing</s></li><li><s>Art</s></li><li><s>Code &amp; Electronics</s></li><li><s>Break</s></li></ul><s>So, with three weeks of content and one week off, you can expect at least three posts a month, plus a doodle posted every day. If there's anything specific you want to see in a topic, feel free to shake me down and I'll do my best to oblige. I'll also rough out what you can expect from each topic!</s><s>Writing</s><s> My writing spans from contemporary to historical to science fiction to political. At current I have one short story up on Amazon Kindle + Kindle Unlimited </s><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2235K1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a><s> about a lesbian pirate. Chances are I'll use this week to post an assortment of vignettes, short stories, or sections from novels or fanfiction. Character studies and game narrative outlines also fall into this category.</s><s>Art </s><s>I do a lot of traditional sketching as well as vector work. Color theory is NOT my friend, but I like working with tactile mediums a lot.&nbsp;On the digital side it'll probably be vector art or video game art assets.&nbsp;I have a webcam, so I can try to post up process videos as well. If there's any specific medium you want to see, let me know and I'll give it a shot and get a process video too. Screen printing, textiles, and 3D modeling&nbsp;work are also lumped into this category, so you might see some new shirt prints, vinyl stickers, 3D printing,&nbsp;or leatherwork tossed in here.</s><s>Code &amp; Electronics </s><s>This category includes all my lovely robots and the electronics and code for websites, costume props, and general household tom-foolery. This is my time to shine - probably literally - as I do a lot of LED circuitry for various costumes and props. There will be speakers, motors, etc. Also in this category is my precious boy, Puck. I'll definitely get videos of him wheeling around and generally being adorable. He's kind of a nervous little guy so don't bully him. </s>
