I’m a big fan of GIMP and Inkscape. I like the knowledge that they will always be there and that if the need arises, I can modify them. I have been interested in writing scrips, and also in generating textures. Below is an end result of a granite texture I generated using gimp and G’MIC.
Why use a camera when you can get a similar result with a computer and a 5 hours of free time!
I want to make a relatively inexpensive Electronics desk that provides
A rough sketch of what I am going for.
Today I tried to upgrade the SD card on my 3DS to a 64GB card. Seemed like it should be an easy task, but when I tried to use the new card my 3DS didn t recognize it. Continue reading
I had an Idea for a hovering batlebot. I don’t know if it will work, but I thought I would cad it up quick to see if it would at least make weight.
888g of 1360. Seems like it might be able to make weight.
I had tried to make a class to teach how to make basic PCBs. The project was a simple RGB LED and and some resistors to limit the current so that it could be driven directly from the pinouts of an arduino. Unfortunately, I got a bit out of hand in creating material. The part introducing students to LEDs, PWM, measurements of luminescence, and basic V=IR stuff is mostly complete.
In hopes these documents may be useful to someone else, I have uploaded them here.

Legacy WP154A4SUREQBFZGC datasheet V.3 2011-03-02
I remember when we got our first printer. Mu sister and I were each going to be allowed to make something in MS paint and print it out. My sister made some sort of underwater scene with a bunch of fishes and a blue water background and printed it out. Once my parents saw how much ink it used they decided that they were not going to let me print out my drawing. Continue reading
My sister just had a baby and wanted some 3D printed ladybugs for the baby’s room. I wasn’t to thrilled with any of the ones on thingaverse so I decided to make one myself.
Smoothest 3D print ever. Just kidding, this is a quick render.
Many years ago I started a 15cm by 15cm needlepoint ladybug for my sister who, at the time, had a bug themed room. I believe I started this project somewhere between 1996 and 1999. The ladybug portion was finished by my then 8-10 year old self, but the rest took a bit longer to finish.
As seen assembled. After 15+ years, this is the longest project I have ever finished.
For Motorama (2012) I designed and build a wedge battlebot named Parallelogreg. With the exception of my poor driving skills (I lost the first match in under 5s by driving straight into a wall and getting stuck) I think it worked fairly well for my first attempt, wining 2 of 4 matches.
Just the frame and the motors.
My brother has a Christmas stocking that was made by our great grandmother probably thirty or forty years ago. Due to its age the backing was starting to come off and there was not a good way to display it without risking damage.
