We haven’t gotten around to posting new photos of Evan lately, so we had about a 6 month backlog! Take a look on the photos page. Months 22 through 28 are new.

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 […]
Toyota Tundra
Over the last couple of days, my wife and I have taken a fairly close look at the new 2007 Toyota Tundra. Before you say “oh no, not again”, we’re not shopping. I’ve just heard a lot of good things about it and wanted to learn more. I’m not a qualified automotive reviewer, so I’m […]
Independent music
I know the concept of musicians creating music without the aid of the major labels and the RIAA isn’t new, but I thought I draw a little bit of attention to guy I found by chance recently: Josh Woodward I like his music, which is a mixture of folk and rock, but I also find […]
Playset landscaping
On Thursday the delivery guy unloaded 20 cubic yards (about 7 tons) into our front yard. I spent about 20 hours total on Friday and Saturday getting it hauled back to the playset using the new garden cart that Dad bought and Nathan’s two-wheel wheelbarrow (which I have to say is MUCH easier than the […]
Playset construction day 4.86
Ok, I’ve given up on counting days, but I put in a number of evenings of varying length (including four night under artificial light until 10pm). The playset main tower isn’t entirely complete, but it is now able to be played on. I’m in the process of building the swing beam. The next step is […]
