I recently got a new truck (a 2007 Toyota Tundra) and wanted to come up with a way to carry my bikes in the bed of the truck when going camping. There are lots of options out there available for purchase, but I had some pretty specific requirements. I’ve written up a page about my […]

Remember the Milk
For a couple of weeks now I’ve been using an online to-do list called “Remember the Milk.” Now that I’ve got a couple of weeks of experience, I’m going to recommend it. To sign up, just visit http://www.rememberthemilk.com/. You can separate your tasks into separate lists (work, finance, hobbies, etc.) and set priorities. You can […]
Do-it-yourself battery capacity tester
During a recent trip to a theme park, I discovered that a couple of the nickel metal hydride batteries that I brought along for my digital camera didn’t work for more than a minute or two. Preferring not to be in that position again, I decided to test the capacity of all my rechargeable AA’s […]
Ok, I bought the Tundra
After a lot of deliberation, we decided to trade in our old truck on the new 2007 Toyota Tundra. We got a 2WD SR5 Double Cab with the 5.7L V8. For options, the one we chose has the rear sliding window, an upgraded audio system, heated mirrors, and some other minor things. There are lots […]
Desktop Tower Defense
Ok, I finally broke my addiction to this game, so now I figured I’d get you addicted as well: Desktop Tower Defense
Kill-a-watt
A few months ago I was given a Kill-A-Watt electricity usage meter as a gift. It’s a small device with a digital readout that you plug into a wall socket. When you plug whatever you want to test into the unit, it shows how many watts it’s drawing. I’ve been measuring most of the items […]
Tranformers – Thorns Edition
A few college friends and I got together over summer break (long ago) and made this fantastic work of art. I’ll let you in on a little secret: in the final few seconds, when the yellow truck drives off the screen, we SWORE you wouldn’t be able to see the table tilt! Enjoy the ever-moving […]
Transformers Battle 2
I don’t really remember making this video, but we used my parents old VHS camcorder with a “stop-motion” feature to make it. I had to edit out a number of frames where we got our hands in the shot!
Transformers Videos
On the eve of the new Transformers movies, I thought I’d post a link to my stop-motion Transformers animation. They’re just some goofy videos some friends and I made, but I spent a while this evening setting up a new video player called WordTube. It uses a Flash video player and really works a lot […]
New web host
Although things were going OK with GoDaddy as my web host, I decided to switch over to Dreamhost. The migration seems to have gone basically OK, though with the limited upload speed of my cable modem, the file upload will take over 20 hours. Transferring the databases and changing the name servers was easy to […]
