Don't worry, been doing my other stuff too, but this month for some reason all this gear showed up within a couple weeks and I wanted to make sure I gave it some air time before I go towards some more fun (to me) projects.

The key I think will be trying to make the blend be 'learning/teaching something new' along with finding the right way to fund it.

While I am extremely appreciative for every dollar that comes in through Patreon/GitHub Sponsors, the reality is that isn't enough (and except for maybe like 0.2% of creators/devs won't ever be) to cover all the bills. So I do need to work with more deep-pocketed sponsors from time to time.

It is a bit of a delicate balance, though, because it's easy to run the risk of being a hypocrite depending on who I work with and what projects I take on ;)
