Artist, blogger, content creator & curator, craftsman, photographer, U.S. Army Veteran. Lately I am working on building a website directory at D98.co, my personal website, and most recently one at USAWEB.co, my professional directory.

It’s Friday, September 5th, 2025 at 4:32 PM CST. – It’s Friday. Yay! I brought my main work station gear with me for tonight. I’m going to try and get some site building done on my D98.co website. I have really enjoyed working on my Surface Pro 11 this week, but I gotta get serious over the weekend to get my website built. I’m currently sitting in my truck with the AC running, and eating some snacks while it’s raining.

OHYIDI 065 Checking In

It’s Thursday, August 28th, 2025 at 7:25 PM CST. – It’s been 6 days since my last check in here at OHYIDI. No I haven’t been sick. I’ve just been working a lot on my D98.co website. I am building some website and social media directories over there, and publishing all the posts I need are a little time consuming. In doing that, I kind of forgot I have this site here at OHYIDI to update lol. Ooops. Oh well, shit happens. The important thing is I’m staying busy, and that wherever I’m working at, I can account for my time and say that I have been productive at something. There is a lot of work going on over there from publishing new content, to transferring content from my older websites to that one. There are going to be a lot of times where I may not get to publish something here at OHYIDI every day as I would like to, and as was originally planned when I launched this site. Maybe it will happen that I can work some kind of routine into my schedule that will ensure I’m doing that in one way or another as time goes on. For now, I’m going to pass it off as maybe daily publishing here will happen, and maybe it won’t, and whatever happens is ok. For tonight, I am working on a Hashtags directory over there, and I’m listening to some music on Spotify – 808 State currently as I’m writing this check in. I am not overly familiar with 808 State music, but only the name. I was actually introduced to their music in the early 90s, but never really got into it much. Tonight I’m exploring it to see how many of their albums I can get through while I’m working. I’m also doing some shopping on Amazon to see if I can find a bigger bluetooth party speaker than that the one I currently have, which is the first Soundcore Rave (I think) speaker. It’s ok, but I want something with a little more punch that won’t require turning the volume up excessively to get a good sound, but not something that is too much heavier. I need to be able to keep it in my vehicle and easily move in and out, and I need it to come with the Amazon payments option that doesn’t require interest payments. I have shopped for something to fit these needs several times, and no luck yet.

OHYIDI 062 Checking In

It’s Tuesday, August 19th, 2025 at 9:06 AM CST. – I sat down to write this check in, but then I got distracted when I opened up a package I got in the mail yesterday. It was a package full of some 3D print logos I bought on Ebay… one for Lego, G.I. Joe, and Hot Wheels. They are amazing. Maybe I’ll show them off in my upcoming zine. Speaking of my zine… I am considering to buy a new website specifically for housing my zine downloads. I think it would be nice if readers could have a place to go download the zine, and not be bombarded with a whole ton of pages and blog posts like on all of my other websites. It’s a thought. I don’t know if I’m going to do that or not, because at the same time, I’m trying to dwindle down the number of websites I’m managing. I could just end up hosting the zine here, or on my other website. I guess we’ll see in the end what I do. Anyway, I bought a new flash drive this morning for my photos and digital art. I already have these files stored on a SSD and another flash drive, but I need them stored as another copy on a separate flash drive for editing. I need to be able to number the files differently than what is on my current storage set up. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to start numbering some of the files tonight. So here it is at 9:52 AM CST, and it took me 44 minutes to write this, and now I gotta get some rest.

OHYIDI 061 Checking In

It’s Tuesday, August 19th, 2025 at 5:18 AM CST. – I got 3 blog posts published since my last check in. It’s time to shut my laptop off, and I need a new flash drive so that I can start organizing my photos and digital art for my zine. I gotta get an oil change this morning, so maybe I’ll try to get one after that. If I post anything else this morning to my blog, it will be done from my phone.
