I’ve been busy over the last 3 or 4 months. Lots of projects going on. The biggest was building a playhouse for my niece.
I got a table saw for my birthday which came in very handy. I think I did enough carpentry here to cross this off my list.

I got a new toy over the weekend.
It’s a replica EVE Hypo from Bioshock. I was disappointed after first pulling it out of the box. The needle fell off and the blue LED inside didn’t light up. But after gluing the needle back on and wiping some corrosion off the batteries it looks and works great.
Dec 21, 2009 Xmas Wishlist

Three shopping days left until Christmas. That should be plenty of time for you to pick me up one of the following items:
Nike 2015 Hyperdunks – A.K.A. Air McFlys. This was supposed to be on last year’s list, but I forgot about it.
Hattori Hanzo Sword – This one might be a little hard to get. I’ve heard he doesn’t make swords anymore.
Steve Zissou Pinball Machine – As seen onboard the Belafonte.
Spykee Wi-Fi Spy Bot – Slap a laser on this thing and it would be like something out of Chopping Mall.
GoDogGo- My dog will fetch a ball until she passes out. I can’t keep up with her. Something like this could save me from a possible rotator cuff surgery.
Dec 5, 2009 Injury Report

Once again, I’ve managed to fall down the stairs. These stairs are death trap. This time I fell backwards catching my lower back and both elbows on the edge of a step. Then I slid about half way down the stairs, scraping my arms up in the process. I actually landed on the step so hard that I moved it. In the photo below you can see the outline of where the step used to be.
I spent the rest of the day with an ice pack on my left elbow to keep the swelling down.
This also gives me the opportunity to point out the widget I made over in the right column. It keeps a running tally of days since my last injury.

There have been a few instances at work where the only vehicle available for me to drive was a manual transmission. So out of necessity, I had to learn how to drive it. I need a little more practice, but I’ve got the gist of it.

It’s that time again. Time for me to switch blogging platforms and do a complete overhaul of the site. I’ve always thought Drupal seemed a little sluggish. Here’s hoping WordPress is faster.
As far as the design goes, it started out pretty simple but after I made the new logo things snowballed quickly. It’s hard for me to stop messing around with Photoshop once I get started.
The migration to WordPress wasn’t flawless. Somewhere along the way I lost all the comments made over the last two years. There are probably a few broken links and missing images, but I’ll fix them as I find them.
