Bob Portnell

Multi-Purpose Nerd

This is the (I imagine) really last website of Bob Portnell (that's me!). At the beginning of 2025, I reduced it down to the even-more-barest basics: simple contact info and proof-of-life. I might start putting a few items up in 2026, just because I can't stand not sharing them.

Bob is a technical writer living in Sparks, Nevada. Bob is also a father, husband, disciple, and some other things. He likes playing tabletop games, reading, writing, just being generally nerdy and silly. His internet presence beyond this website is not large. He promises to not talk about himself in third person overmuch.

If you want to mail me, I have an account at Gmail you are welcome to use. My handle there is nvdaydreamer.

I skeet occasionally on Bluesky. My handle on bluesky.social is wbobp.

I have a blog account on tumblr. I use it only to follow a few favorite people, but: wbobp.

Proof of Life

Last Updated: 02 Sep 2026

I'm still working on the small fleet of Star Trek model ships. Fingers-crossed to be done by the end of this year.

And I'm learning to play the recorder, a task I've been ignoring since I was 10.

And I'm learning to draw. Sort of.

You read correctly: no roleplaying games. Still card and board games, here and there.

Otherwise, life goes on: work, play, love, pray. I recommend.
