Welcome to Mike's Shorts!


So what exactly is this? It's a website. Currently, it's about as basic of a website as it gets. I'm kinda hoping to turn it into a repository for various interests and creative projects of mine. Why the name? Do I manufacture and/or sell articles of clothing that sit at the waist and drape down to around the knee, performing the critical role of covering one's private plumbing? No. The name originates from when I used to have this domain, 20 years ago, to showcase stop motion animation short videos of mine. Not many clever dot com domains left, saw this one that I abandoned years ago was available, so I figured I'd just resurrect it. Odds I'll get bored and abandon it again are non-zero, but there aren't guarantees in life, aside from taxes and death. That got dark in a hurry! Attempts at being clever aside, below are areas of interest I just might try to present in the form of a website that hopefully doesn't look too much like it was whipped-up in the mid 90s. Though I dunno, the aesthetic is suddenly growing on me!

Update (2/20/2023): I have been working quite a bit on making a WebXR VR game for the Meta Quest 2. The working title so far is "Baseketbolfgunquet". It's a mixture of throw golf, baseball (you can use a bat to hit the ball), basketball (the ball is basketball-sized), target shooting (you can use a ball gun to shoot at and move the ball), and croquet (you must advance the ball through a series of six wickets). See this for game instructions and a link to a preview version and see this for a brief play-through video.
