Aaaah, welcome, welcome! Pull up a virtual stool, wipe your digital feet – though, let's be honest, digital dirt isn't really a thing, is it? Anyway! You've found your way to my digital map, excellent! Consider this the front porch of the gloriously chaotic contraption I call Freeky Geeky.
Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering just what in the name of all that is widgety and whatchamacallit is Freeky Geeky. Well, it's me. Pure, unadulterated, slightly caffeinated me. It's the physical manifestation of that buzzing in your brain when you've got a million ideas fighting for attention, except here, those ideas usually involve power tools and the faint smell of burning plastic (in a good way, mostly).
Glitch: Hey RJ! RJ! Did you ever think about making a giant hamster wheel powered by tiny robots? We could sell tickets!
This whole operation? That's just yours truly, RJ, the Most Excellent Fabricator (self-proclaimed, but I stand by it). I'm the brains, the brawn, the slightly singed eyebrows behind it all. Though, I'd be lying if I said I was entirely alone in this beautiful mess. See, I've got a... let's call it a 'highly specialized' internal team that keeps things interesting, to say the least.
There's Glitch, for starters. Think of him as my internal Tasmanian Devil powered by pure, unadulterated ADHD. He's the one yelling about... well, whatever shiny, slightly insane thought just ricocheted through his synapses... and suddenly deciding we should build a trebuchet instead of finishing that bracket. Keeps things lively, that one.
Pandora: (Under her breath) Remind me again why we listen to him?
Then you've got Pandora. She's my Capricorn side, the voice of (relative) reason, the one who occasionally manages to wrangle the chaos into something resembling order. She's the perfectionist in me, the one who cares way too much about the proper torque settings and whether the paint job is actually flawless.
Oh, and can't forget Phobos. He's the resident worrywart, my anxiety gremlin. He pops up whenever I'm trying something new or remotely risky (which, let's face it, is most of the time in this workshop). He's the one whispering about all the things that could go wrong... you know, just to keep me on my toes (and occasionally paralyzed by indecision).
Phobos: Are you sure that ladder is stable?
And last but certainly not least, there's Mopes. He's my yearning for organization, that fleeting desire for neatly labeled bins and a clean workbench. He shows up in brief bursts of enthusiasm, usually after I've tripped over the same pile of scrap metal for the tenth time, but he knows deep down that true, lasting order in this workshop is about as likely as finding a unicorn that can weld.
Mopes: Just imagine... a clean workbench... for five minutes...
So yeah, it's a party in my head, and Freeky Geeky is where that party spills out into the real world. Stick around, you never know what kind of glorious (or gloriously disastrous) creation might be next!"

So, you're still with me? Color me impressed! Most folks' attention spans around here are shorter than Glitch's when a butterfly flits by. Well, congrats for braving our little origin story! Now that you've peeked behind the curtain of controlled chaos, let's get down to brass tacks. Life's a whirlwind, and there are about a million and one ways to share the ride these days. If you're even remotely intrigued by the ongoing saga of Freeky Geeky – the triumphs, the tribulations, the occasional near-miss with a rogue power tool – here are a few digital breadcrumbs you can follow to keep up with the madness:
01
Want the real-time, behind-the-scenes peek into the glorious mess? Our Facebook and Instagram accounts are where the digital photo dumps happen. You'll see snapshots of whatever project has currently ensnared my ever-wandering attention, random bits of workshop wizardry, and maybe even a picture of Glitch trying to 'help' (interpret that as you will). I try to keep the captions entertaining, because let's face it, a picture of a half-welded widget only goes so far without a good story, right? If it's happening in the workshop, chances are it's popping up on these two feeds first.
Phobos: "Just... try not to scroll too late at night. You know, the algorithm can be a scary place."
02
For those who prefer moving pictures and the captivating symphony of whirring motors and the occasional off-key humming, TikTok and YouTube are your go-to spots. Here, we mostly unleash the video evidence of our creative outlets. Think short, attention-grabbing clips featuring Glitch's latest brainwave (prepare for the unexpected), or other forms of whatever creative expression has currently seized my fancy. If you want to see the organized chaos (and Glitch in his natural habitat), this is where the magic (and occasional minor explosions) happens.
Glitch:"Hey, if you tell RJ you found us because of me, maybe he'll give me more snacks!"

"Ah, the Emporium. The bittersweet reality of a creative mind that can't possibly keep everything it births. I pour my heart and soul (and countless hours) into these builds, and while I'd love to have a museum of my own making, apparently, a certain voice of reason – who shall remain nameless but rhymes with 'Shmandora' – insists on things like 'not tripping over seven Ghostbusters proton packs on the way to the coffee maker.' So, the Emporium is where some of these creations find new homes. If you see something you like, know that it's been crafted with a healthy dose of passion (and probably a few accidental sparks). And for a glimpse into the 'why' and 'how' behind some of these creations (often involving Glitch's unique perspective or other creative tangents), be sure to check out our TikTok and YouTube channels for the moving picture version of the Freeky Geeky experience."
Pandora:"Purchasing from the Emporium supports RJ's endeavors... and my sanity. Please shop responsibly."

Well, that about sums up the digital landscape of Freeky Geeky. So, what's next in this grand experiment of controlled chaos and creative explosions? Honestly, who knows! That's half the fun, isn't it? Keep an eye on those links above, and you'll be the first to find out what wild idea sparks in the workshop next. You might see a new project taking shape, a new video showcasing Glitch's latest antics, or maybe even a new batch of goodies hitting the Emporium. Whatever it is, you can bet it'll be... well, freeky and geeky.
Mopes: Maybe we should make a list of potential 'next' projects... just to have some direction.
