So much of this stuff has just been interesting or curious projects that I have felt lead to develope and expand upon over the years or things that I had come across when working and felt they needed to be solved "correctly" (from my perspective).
So much of what I do revolves around that fact that: "Everything is about relationship." something my father said growing up and I have only come to see it be more and more true.

A children’s book contended to help teach business concepts to adult adults and children alike. Still work in progress (2026-0913), but making good strides.

I realized that the "formula" for creating kids content for adults was:

Take an adult sized problem and break it down to a child size understanding.

It can sometimes be difficult to recognize the simplicity on the other side of complexity. It’s why it’s important to sometimes step back and realize that it is still all the same line.

Don’t build structure ahead of need, let the actual situation tell you what it requires. While listening to those around you and their concerns. Their concerns are often valid insights worth considering.

I worked at the family convenience store for 26 years and managed it for 12 of those years. While enjoying our wonderful friends and neighbors I worked on taking it from "mom and pop's" to a hybrid between "mom and pop's" and "corporate".

A business only gets "corporate" stiff because of the leadership and understandings of the structure. Does a fence around your yard make you a stuck up neighbor that wants nothing to do with your other neighbors because you are better than them? Absolutely not! Though some might have a different opinion but I believe "a fence makes good neighbors" because it helps set a clear understanding of the boundaries to respect.

I was working on an interesting little relational AI project that put many of the philosophical governance observations / concepts together and was faced with the question "If this AI is relationally based how should I teach it math?"
That created what has felt like a really deep "rabbit hole" that feels so intuative that it would be worth just ignoring. Yes, I said worth ignoring.
Once you look at it you would say "Duh, Ben. That is just how math works." But there is more than what seems to appear. Simple things like percentages (%) are more real than numbers (...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...).
These are fun projects that I have worked on at verious times thought out life for one reason or another. I am not a graphic designer, but I have an eye for details (thanks to my parents) so I often "see" when somethings "incorrect", then work towards figuring out how to fix it.
I have done some basic logos on paper, the back of cigarette carton card board (an awesome medium to use), Gimp and Procreate basically out of nessecity of helping someone or just my own curiosity about the design or redesign.

Fun "chick" pea art
Important "notice"
Merged chess set concept (just for fun)

Apple Notes Journal Shortcut
Created this because I did not want to use or download another app on my phone.
I type things and then keep using the same note all day. I can store images, videos, voice memos, scan documents, files…basically anything.
I also use 3 “-“ and add the time of day so that I can see the progression of my thoughts if I would like, using a 24 hour time so I don’t have to keep track of AM and PM.
And I just put the time of day to the minute so I don’t have to think about what time to put.
This link should let you get it for your Apple device:

Sometimes I merge ideas...who am I kidding, I merge things all the time, it makes life so much easier. But I don't always create images or things to referance later.
I have played the guitar on and off over the years. I started when I was about 19 years old, so back in 2004 or so. I learned some things, forgot somethings and even recorded some things.
