Half way through 2026 and this is where we're at... double the monies from the previous year after revising and simplifying my offers.
So far, slower summer...
And excited to see what's in store for the second half!
Gotta enjoy the rollercoaster 😂
Doubling revenue after simplifying the offers is a strong result. I’d keep a note of what you cut and which offer became easier to buy, so a slower summer doesn’t tempt you to add the complexity back.
🍥 What if Naruto’s Rasengan could actually be controlled with your hands?
As a kid, it was just something I saw in anime.
This time, I decided to see if I could bring that idea to life with Python.
So I built Naruto Hand VFX Studio — a real-time computer vision project where hand gestures control:
🔵 Rasengan
⚡ Chidori
🔥 Fireball
💥 Energy Beam
And the interesting part?
These aren’t pre-recorded effects.
Using Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe, and NumPy, the system tracks my hand movements and generates the VFX in real time.
What started as a fun Naruto idea turned into a project where I got to combine computer vision, hand tracking, gesture recognition, animation logic, and procedural VFX in one application.
My setup isn’t a professional studio.
But this project reminded me that you don’t always need a perfect setup to build something interesting.
Sometimes, you just need an idea — and the willingness to build it.
