About

Welcome! I figured now that I’m back on a somewhat regular update schedule, I should explain what I’m doing here. You’ve reached my personal blog – a space for me to dump my random thoughts, observations, and commentaries on things that interest me. What interests me is always in a state of constant motion but generally, it always comes back to these core topics:

  • Computers and Programming
  • Model Kits – Planes, Gundam, submarines, and the occasional boat or car
  • Wargaming, specifically Warhammer / Warhammer 40K
  • Backyard grilling, smoking, and pizza making
  • Random Factoids and Trivia

Speaking of factoids, I also love segues and lists so here are some additional factoids about me. This may help you understand what you’re dealing with here.

  • I was raised on GI Joe and Transformers
  • #IAmCanadian
  • Snorlax is my spirit animal
  • Star Wars 4-6 were perfection, 1-3 weren’t too bad, 7 was ok-ish, 8-9 didn’t happen

Obligatory disclaimer: I generally try to stay away from anything too polarizing here, but regardless – the opinions on this site are mine (and mine alone) and do not represent the opinion or position of my employer. From time to time I may link to an external third-party site – in these cases, it does not mean I necessarily support all views and opinions of the site I’ve linked.


Some “not-so-frequently” asked questions, but ones I’m anticipating:

Q: Are you the same Greg Marles from HollisWealth / Are you a Financial Planner?

A: No, that’s a completely different Greg Marles – no relation, however oddly enough, we do live in the same area.

Q: Where did the blog post pictures come from? Did you take them?

A: No, I wish! The featured image pictures are all from Unsplash or Pexels. I’m working on making sure everything is properly attributed. Please use the form below if any need to be removed or updated.

Q: What’s with the site logo?

A: Quite some time ago I read “Angels and Demons” by Dan Brown, in which ambigrams were somewhat prominent. I thought they looked really neat, so I had one commissioned.
