Not everything gets made for an audience. Some things get made because the idea won't leave you alone until you do something about it. These are those things. They make zero money. They take enormous amounts of time. They exist anyway.

Original songs
Original songs and comic-style videos for the Auburn faithful — built from obsessive research, written from the inside, and made by one fan who can't watch a game without hearing a song in it.
Each video starts with a deep dive into Auburn history, a player, a season, or a moment that deserves more than a highlight reel. The song comes next — original lyrics built around the story, produced with AI assistance and shaped by someone who actually lived through most of it. The visuals are assembled from AI-generated DC comic and 1950s comic-style stills, edited in CapCut, and timed to tell the story frame by frame.
It's a one-man operation running on Auburn pride and an unreasonable amount of late nights.
Top performer: "Tigers Ten Toes Down — Unofficial Auburn Football Anthem 2026" — 470 views and counting. War Eagle.
✦ Lyrics are collaborative — Jimmie provides the ideas, research, and direction; AI assists with structure and language. Different from his personal songwriting, where the words are primarily his own.
Practical SOLIDWORKS and DriveWorks training with a focus on manufacturability — taught by someone who has spent decades actually using these tools on real projects, not just demonstrating them in a classroom.
Whistle Britches is an animated series created by Balanced Design Solutions — Jimmie's mechanical design firm — to make engineering education engaging, memorable, and occasionally funny. The series strips away the textbook theory and focuses on the skills that actually matter on the shop floor.
It is an enormous amount of work to produce. It has been on hiatus. It will probably come back when the itch gets bad enough.
"Whistle britches" — a Southern term for someone who draws a lot of attention to themselves, named after the sound corduroy makes when you walk. Jimmie's grandfather called his father that. His father called him that. The name stuck.
