Hi there! That's me!

I'm a North Carolina born game developer turned technical and creative entrepreneur. I explore,  design and make things, often to solve particular problems or meet particular wants or needs.

I'm a skill collector and lifelong learner passionate about exploration, play and learning. When I'm not helping with technical challenges in my local community,* I enjoy travel and learning about other parts of the world, including its flora, fauna, geography, history, as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people I encounter.

This storefront is an eclectic, curated collection where I share with my visitors many interesting pieces and products I've stumbled upon during my life and travels so far. I have found many quite useful and inspiring and others that are just plain strange. The collection also including a number of local pieces that I and other local NC artisans have produced that I also hope are useful and inspiring.

Please have a look around! All sales and affiliate link commissions from this site help me make my living and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to enrich others' lives. If you like what you find, be sure to let your friends know too! Thanks in advance for your generous support in allowing me to stay creative and independent.

You can learn more about me from my other sites based at www.arsnider.com.
