    There’s a video produced by Tasty from several years ago featuring making gingerbread houses. I watch it every year because I enjoy their videos and the Christmas music makes my heart happy. After a mixed-success of making my own last year, I decided to attempt a family-activity of making confectionary constructions.

    A few years back as I was starting to build out my Holiday light setup, I remember watching a video where the host said “3D printing is what really takes this hobby to the next level.” Up until last Christmas, I didn’t really have a 3D printer that I could rely upon, and I had…

    I attended the 2024 Hackaday Supercon conference this year. I wanted to take something special to share. So I made a little electronics badge that acts a little like an Original Macintosh.

    You may recall last year I took my first step into Sequenced, animated Christmas lights with some arches and simple light strings. I had some grand plans this year to follow up, but as usual my plans came up against reality pretty rapidly. What I’ve learned from the past, is how to design a project…

    I’ve always been very taken with Halloween setups. The orchestration, the excitement, and creativity all lead to a fun expression of the holiday. Halloween has taken it’s place among this generation as the time to do really really cool stuff. Every Halloween for the last 5 or 10 years, I’ve wanted to do something creative.…

    I should start out by warning you that this is not a build-log. My friend Isaac reminded me that before we started this project, this was blogging gold, and he didn’t have a blog. He was implying that I should be the one to write this all down. I didn’t, but this should be interesting…

    I’ve got a project coming up that deals with IR data transmission, so I thought I’d take some time and make a simple IR circuit to prove that I could. This is a very very simple IR Circuit. Basically, it goes as follows. (I’ll get a schematic up here eventually. I haven’t had success actuallly…

    A few years back I started to get more nerdy than I had ever been. By more nerdy, I mean that I began to take an interest in a wide variety of things that leaned on the technical and electronic side. I became interested in making, modeling, and very much the “DIY” (Do-It-Yourself) mentality about…

    I’ve been looking forward to posting this for weeks, nay months. I would have to say that this project started out as an entirely different project early on. I stumbled across the idea on Paul Stamatiou’s blog. He built a little computer out of a Mini-ITX board and a couple of pieces of plexi-glass. I…

    After I got married, I wanted my wife to have a better computer. She was using a 2nd-hand windows computer that was pretty under-powered. She barely used it, so it wasn’t really an issue at the time. An opportunity arose and she ended up with a Power Mac that was several years old. It was…
