Summer Project

2005-05-08T01:38:00.000-05:00

Well, the summer is starting soon and I have a few projects I feel that I need to get done. One of them is rewiring my alarm clock for next year so that if I hit snooze or try to turn it off I will get an electrical shock.

It would be a good deterrent but eventually i would need to rewire the on/off switch also...and then the plug...and in no way can this really be safe...

Phone Fidgeting

2005-04-23T17:10:00.000-05:00

I got a new cell phone cause the old one was broken at the hinge. But now, I got an old phone I can open up and have fun with. I don't think it'll be operational, mostly because they deactivated it. But I can explore.

Altoid

Well, I doubt if I'll get something to put a mouse in anytime soon. Well, at least before summer. But I really want to put something inside an Altoid tin. They do have smaller tins which hold gum. Those might be good. Make a small radio or possible a flash drive. We'll see.

Here is a site where a guy in Alaska is attempting to make a 18 foot tall Humanoid Mech. If it works, it'll be amazing.

Goal #2

Until I can find something that I'm interested in putting mouse material in, I'll put that project off. On the other hand, this project looks cool:

Short Term Goal #1

2005-03-31T15:46:00.000-06:00

Ok, the mouse project. This is what I currently have:

It's a Targus mouse and in the back is a small blue light that is kinda cool looking except at night when it brightens the room. The whole exterior feels like a cheap plastic and I think if I squeezed it hard enough, I could break it. It is an optical mouse so it's not that bad but the plastic feel really bothers me. So what to do. I have a few ideas currently but I'm thinking of more things. If you don't know, I have an Apple iBook so one of my first ideas was putting the mouse into:

A classic original Apple mouse. It's really outdated but it'd be unique here on campus. But it'd be quite bulky so I need some more ideas.

Also, my cell phone is dead. A few weeks ago, the hinge on it broke but it was fixed with glue and a piece of plastic. But now, it seems to be a software problem. None of the buttons respond expect the one to turn it on and off. So unless it gets fixed, it is dead. But on the plus side, I now have (although broken) cell phone technology to have fun with.

First of the Firsts

2005-03-30T15:33:00.000-06:00

I have two goals currently:

Long term goal: Research and make a firework rocket that explodes at the height.

Short term goal: Open up my optical mouse and place it inside something cool.

The second goal is a fairly common one so all I really need to do is find something that I can place all the hardware inside of. I was planning on a Mint Box but that is quite common. So I search.

The First goal will last at least a year. With July being my mid year review of all research. I plan on showing it off next February on campus.

I placed a few new links to the right with some great project sites. I love reading about what others have accomplished.

In the Beginning...

2005-03-27T17:45:00.000-06:00

I've always had great ideas and plans since as far back as I can remember. Doing things or creating things that never came to fruitation. I'm just a curious guy is all and I enjoy learning and doing things.

But I almost never finish.

I get interested in something and research it and plan it but my ideas always lose my concentration and they disappear forever. I'm gonna try to keep an update for myself so I can see any progress that I make and hopefully I'll finish things.

Most likely, however, this will be a junkyard of intellectual and public property.

It begins Today!
