Last year some legend out there built a prop that hung off his roof as if he was stranded hanging in mid-air in an emergency kind of state. Several people tagged me saying I should build one. So this year, I gave it a shot.

This year I took the same clown head and built a body around it that can move and added in some fog machine love and set it all on a table to troll the kids in our neighborhood.

On top of that, I’ve been teaching a kid how to do all this stuff!

June 14th, 2019 will be my last at DNN Corp / ESW and it has been a fun ride. While I’m transitioning out of Corp, I will still be actively involved in the DNN Community. I wanted to post this blog as a reflective post and to let you know where I’m heading next.

Have you ever seen a small pixel in your Pulsar Thermal optic’s screen that you wish wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb?
