Who am I?
I'm Benedykt Staples and I'm a law and commerce student at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, NZ. I like to write and edit stories, and was for a long time a content reviewer on the open source game Endless Sky. I'm trying to learn 3d modelling with Blender and especially Fusion360, so that I can design parts for my other major hobby: Nerf blaster modding and electrical soldering.

Aside from those, I also:
- play the piano;
- study Spanish;
- speak some Mandarin at home with my mum, when I can;
- try to draw with mixed results;
- read quite a bit of whatever (lately a lot of Scandanavian noir...);
- watch old detective and police procedural shows;
and now I try to run a little website.
I suppose the goal of this website is to try to learn more about myself and what I experience. Whenever I feel like reflecting or putting something into text, I'll try to post something on the website to help me understand what I'm trying to get at. A lot of the time, it will just be ramblings about Nerf concepts or mods I've completed, but some of the posts are quite personal, too. I choose not to think about the audiences of the posts (if any), but I hope that whoever reads them can understand something about themselves through my experiences, too.
