I see that I haven’t posted any new projects since February, but I’ve definitely been keeping busy! Just before my last photo post I flew up to Washington and did some photography for my friend Molly, shooting her bikini project. Check it out! Just before that I shot Oakland Nights… … Continue reading
Here’s a quick update of a project I was able to do pretty quickly- one of the BORP players was having trouble reaching her joystick properly to continue playing at a high level, but there weren’t any off-the-shelf products that would allow that to happen, and most of the customizable … Continue reading
I was reading the news today, and I came across an article that researchers have proven the ability to store 700 terabytes of data in a gram of DNA. This is amazing! I do not think that anybody as recently as twenty five years ago would have dreamed of where this … Continue reading
They have been a long time coming, but I am finally making some headway. I have the laser cut acrylic end caps mated to the cardboard tubes, the DSP programmed, and the woofers in place. Here’s what it looks like so far: She. I add the lithium battery pack to … Continue reading

Here’s a picture of my setup for how I’m able to (relatively) quickly bang out some bars for the soccer guard. When I set up the mill like this and use the vertical tube to orient and locate the horizontal tube, I just need to drive the X axis to … Continue reading
There it is- the new guard. I haven’t put it onto a chair yet, but I have a good feeling about it. I think I got things fairly straight. A jig to hold everything during tack welding would have made things go together easier. It also would have been nice … Continue reading
I’ve been working on a design for the team that will be somewhat light weight, and not as expensive, time consuming, or fragile as the one I made for Kendra. Aircraft Spruce sells some 1″ diameter tube for $2.80 per foot, compared to $3.50 per foot for the smaller diameter … Continue reading
Do you remember the story of my friend who accidentally at dog food on the bike tour? I went to the store today and found a can of Alpo- it really is hard to see where it says it’s dog food! Check it out:
