This is the home of tubridy.net and my blog.

I have owned this domain since 1998. I use it to record my experiences with my dog, Jake:

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.

Fields of Corn in the 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!

Resisitance is Futile
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 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
