I bought my Halloween costume today. AND IT FITS ME PERFECTLY!

And I took a really great picture while I was trying it on.

I look hawt!

A NSV if I say so myself. I’m the luckiest guy in the world.

My beautiful lady and I, at RED ROBIN (YUM!) with the roommates!

I took a picture of myself last night because I was feeling pretty. But it was at an angle and half of the pic was my cluttered living room so I had to tweak it a little. but here it is :D 

Ain’t she pretty? I think so :D

Here is the first prototype of my semester project power supply. It measures 1.5” x 2” and is adjustable from 0-15VDC. More pictures when I get it populated later today!


I hope I’m able to mill my own PCB’s soon as well!

This is my adaptation of the Mantis 9 CNC machine I found on the net. I scavenged some parts from my old Bluumax CNC Gantry Router I built, to make a better Z axis, as the one I had cut out was  NOT straight in any way and I wasn’t too happy with the way it looked. I sacrifice some cutting area, but then again, this machine is not too big in the first place. I will probably only make Pendants, PCB’s, and misc little things with this machine. I figure it will be a good machine to cut my teeth on and learn CNC in general. I had The bluumax but I never took it very seriously to be honest.

Stay tuned!

My other site

I’m thinking about just keeping my log here, as this is more of what I wanted to do with that site anyways.
