I'm a 40-year-old former engineer with two wonderful kids (1 and 3 years old).
Life changes a lot. Career, jobs, kids, sleep, country, houses. Two things stay constant: coffee, and a love for engineering.
Need help with a door? Coming up. Bike broke? I can help. Wonder how a 2-stroke combustion engine works? Let me tell you. But first, do you have coffee? Haven't slept in three nights: a nightmare (not mine), a monster (also not mine), but the kid didn't sleep and neither did I. Anyway… coffee?
I started designing mugs for my mornings. Then I realized it would be a shame to keep them all. This shop is my collection of mood-matching mugs for tired parents, engineers, fixers, thinkers, and anyone who needs a little humor (and a lot of caffeine) to start the day.
When the mug is empty and the kids are awake, I also run Weekend Experiments with them — discovering the world, physics, and engineering together. Everything that was a success is listed here: https://weekend-experiments.app
