Nephew Carl and his wife Kariline Bringe had a baby girl, breaking a century-long tradition of male-only descendants of clan Tubridy.

And we all couldn’t be happier! Love at First Sight!


Plaque Tables

I built these tables for my two nephews. The design enables the plaque to serve as both a table and a wall hanging. Simply remove the legs to hang the plaque from the wall or place it on a larger table.

Online since 1998 – a record of my life experiences with my dog, Jake:

In the Wild West of web design, AI is my trusty sidekick, galloping through codes and pixels. It wrangles rogue typos and lassos layout issues and tames unruly fonts with the finesse of a digital cowboy. My AI partner doesn’t need coffee breaks – it’s tirelessly toiling in the background, crafting a website so snazzy even my cat would click on it. With AI in charge, my website becomes a digital masterpiece faster than you can say “404 error.” Yeehaw, AI!

We started traveling in our RV, the Starship Excellent Adventure, in 2021. So far, we have traveled over 30,000 miles and spent about seven months on the road. We have visited national parks and other scenic locations on the West Coast, Rockies, Southwest, and Appalachians. On our latest trip, we visited America’s Heartland.

Most Excellent!

I developed an interest in photography in college. Since then, I have always traveled with a camera and tried to capture the views in my mind’s eye πŸ‘οΈ. Technology has greatly aided me these days, allowing me to enhance some of the slides I shot up until the 2010s.

I’ve visited 39 countries and all 50 states! I especially love the National Parks.

Underwater photos in the Caribbean, Central America, and the Pacific.


YouTube videos starting in the late 2000s…


First set of drums 😎

Music & Drumming

I have had a lifelong passion for music. I was beating on the pots and pans as a kid!


Woodworking

I made my first project in 8th-grade shop class! I’ve made a lot of sawdust since then!

Puppy Dogs

I aspire to be the person my dog thinks I am.


Florida’s Space Coast

I live in a little beach shack, Valhalla, near the elementary school I went to. I’ve watched them launch rockets into space for over 65 years now!


Family Geneology

I’ve continued the work started by my Dad in discovering our roots.


Rides

My (mostly red 🀩) rides through the years started with the VW Beetle – which I learned to drive on – to the Starship Excellent Adventure!

Just This Guy

I started my first website as a hobby using the notorious Microsoft FrontPage in the late 1990s. I studied web design at Emory in the late 2000s and became proficient in web programming and graphic skills. I eventually did it full-time when I contracted for IBM in the 2010s. I retired at the end of 2019 as a User Experience Designer who spent over 40 years working in high tech.

This is a hobby for me now. I view it as my legacy since I leave no one behind at the end of the day. You can find other stuff I am interested in or places I have traveled on this site. I will continue to add more until I can’t do it anymore.

Cheers, Jake and Eddie
