I mentioned in a previous notes post that I didn’t want to pressure myself if I didn’t feel like sharing what happened in the week before, but I think I overcorrected a little. If there is one thing I’ve learned as part of my recent commitment to get my shit together, it’s that sometimes you still need to push yourself a little if you want the habit to stick. I know, I was just as shocked as you are right now when I learned this.
One (3D printed) ring to rule them all
Every Christmas, the community I’m a member of (the one that I keep mentioning every time I write about Comics Outmash) organizes a Secret Santa. This Christmas was my 3rd participation and I got a little carried away for my friend, who happened to be a fan of Lord of the Rings.

Notes about In App Purchase validation on Android
I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d started dabbling with Android. This incredible journey brought me to the realm of in-app purchase validation which is part of what the Google Cloud Platform offers. This is ideal if you already use one of the dozen services they provide, like BigQuery and such. In my case, all I was looking for was a way to validate my purchases, so I found the documentation a little bit overwhelming and got lost quite a few times. Since nearly broke my sanity, I figured I would share what I’ve learned.
