I was born a couple of decades ago in Murray, Utah, and grew up in Bountiful, Utah. My dad was a HVAC tradesman and my mom an English teacher. I was obsessed with the American flag, police officers, and patriotism when I was very young, and wanted to be a policeman or a soldier. I grew up loving MegaMan, Ninja Turtles, and playing with Legos. I've always loved bunnies. I was into Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons into my teen years, and experimented a little with the martial arts (even if I never really got good). I've always loved to write and draw, and flex my creative muscle. I joined the Army Reserve just after high school and spent six years as a weekend warrior. I fell in love with the idea of filmmaking and for the better part of a decade worked various side jobs in the film/TV/theater industry alongside my primary job before finally realizing that you really don't get to be creative making movies unless you're at the top of the food chain, and it's probably the most competitive industry in the world to break into. I've been through most of the Western U.S. states, many of the states in the Midwest, and a couple of states on the east coast. of the I've been outside of the country a few times, in 2003 I took a trip to Belize, and in 2009 I took a trip to Europe. I'd taken some programming classes in high school and I felt fairly competent at it - so I took some classes at UVU and got a job as a Web Developer. I found that I enjoyed this profession because it was challenging and I got to be creative and actually make some good money doing it. If you want to know more, drop me a line!

Imagine for a moment, a universe where the lightsabers of Star Wars hum beside the enchanted blades of Middle Earth, where Link from the land of Hyrule teams up with Leonardo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to save not one, but multiple worlds. Welcome to my ultimate dream crossover!
First, picture Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli in the heart of Mordor, cornered by an onslaught of orcs. Just as all seems lost, the familiar hum of lightsabers pierces the air. Out of nowhere, Jedi Masters Luke Skywalker and Rey, flanked by a battalion of rebel fighters, come to their aid. With the combined might of the Force and Middle Earth’s bravest, not an orc stands a chance.
Meanwhile, Gandalf and Yoda, two of the wisest beings in their respective universes, convene. Imagine the profound conversations, the sharing of knowledge, and perhaps even the playful banter between two old souls.
Link, our hero of time, finds himself in the bustling cityscape of New York, where he bumps into none other than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Intrigued by Link’s Master Sword and Hylian Shield, the Turtles invite him to their lair, and soon enough, the Hero of Hyrule is munching on pizza and exchanging combat techniques with Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo.
The Turtles, accustomed to the sewers of New York, would be in awe as they step into the vast landscapes of Hyrule. And just think about the potential team-ups! Donatello tinkering with Sheikah technology, Michelangelo learning cooking recipes from the residents of Kakariko Village, and Link showing Leonardo the ways of the Triforce.
The ultimate crossover wouldn’t be complete without an ultimate antagonist. Combine the dark powers of Sauron, Ganondorf, Shredder, and Emperor Palpatine, and you have a villainous force the likes of which no universe has seen. But with our combined heroes, hope is never lost.
It's not just about the battles; imagine the camaraderies, the merging of technologies, magics, and cultures. Ewoks mingling with Hobbits in the Shire, Chewbacca arm wrestling with Gimli, or R2-D2 trying to communicate with a confused Korok from Zelda's universe.
While it's fun to dream about these epic crossovers, there's a deeper reason we love these stories individually. Each universe, from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, represents a different facet of our human experience – hope, bravery, friendship, and the battle between good and evil. When combined, they remind us of the shared narratives that bind us all.
For now, as I code away in the realm of web development, I'll continue to dream of a universe where all my favorite characters come together, reminding me of the limitless power of imagination.

Life is a beautiful, complex maze; an intricate tapestry woven with threads of experiences, memories, and lessons. Just like browsing the vast expanse of the internet, our lives are a collection of interlinked events and moments, each leading to the next, forming our unique story.
We live in an age where our lives are deeply intertwined with technology. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have made it possible for us to connect with individuals from across the globe, share our stories, and get glimpses into countless other lives.
Websites, too, have become a reflection of our personalities, passions, and professions. For instance, I've curated content that resonates with my journey on isaacingles.com, shared more playful endeavors on isaacjingles.com, and delved deep into personal narratives at isaacjacobingles.com.
One of the constants in life is change. It's essential to adapt, grow, and learn from each twist and turn. Sites like Medium offer a plethora of articles on personal growth, while platforms like TED provide insights from global thought leaders on embracing change and the evolving nature of life.
Steve Jobs once said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward." Every experience, every link we click, and every person we meet adds a dot to our canvas. Over time, as we look back, these dots form a beautiful constellation of our existence. For more on connecting these life dots, you might consider reading related articles on platforms like The New York Times or The Atlantic.
Life, with all its unpredictability, is a beautiful journey to cherish. In the digital age, our experiences are both physical and virtual. Each website we visit, each post we share, and each connection we make adds a unique thread to the tapestry of our existence. As we navigate this vast expanse, let's remember to embrace every moment, every link, and every story.

When we think of nature's most diligent workers, the humble honeybee often buzzes to the top of the list. Responsible for more than just the sweet nectar we spread on our toast, these remarkable insects play an invaluable role in our planet's ecosystems. Journey with me as we delve into the intricate universe of the honeybee.
Honeybees are primary pollinators, which means they are largely responsible for the pollination of many of the crops that make up the world's food supply. From the juicy apples we snack on to the aromatic almonds we sprinkle on our morning granola, the tireless work of bees is to thank. For more details on the vast variety of crops pollinated by bees, the Food and Agriculture Organization offers extensive resources.
Beyond their role in pollination, the social structure and behavior of bees within their hives are fascinating subjects of study. Each hive functions as a single cohesive unit with every bee, from the worker bees to the queen, playing a vital role. For those curious about this sophisticated society, Encyclopedia Britannica provides a deep dive into the life cycle and roles within a bee colony.
Unfortunately, honeybees are facing increasing threats, from pesticides to habitat loss and the mysterious Colony Collapse Disorder. These challenges are not just an issue for the bees; they have ripple effects on our ecosystems and food supplies. To understand more about these threats and the global initiatives working to counteract them, platforms like World Wildlife Fund offer insights and ways you can help.
Honey, the sweet product created by these diligent workers, has been treasured by humans for millennia, not just for its taste, but also for its medicinal properties. Today, honey is used in kitchens around the world and can be found as an essential ingredient in many recipes on websites like Food.com.
Honeybees, while small in size, play an outsized role in our world. Their industrious nature, complex societies, and the challenges they face serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of life on Earth. As we savor that next spoonful of honey or bite into a fresh fruit, let's take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes that make it all possible.
