New Computer

Tuesday, 5 April 2011

I've been using the same computer for basically a decade. During that time it's been great but recently its been showing its age and slowing down. So for $200 i bought a CPU, motherboard, power supply, memory and a video card. I already had 2 hard drives and a case.
First i installed the CPU to the motherboard and attached the heat-sync fan. Then i put the motherboard and power supply in the case.
Then i added the RAM, video card and hard drives. So far it's great and really fast.

Kitchen Stuff

Thursday, 9 September 2010

I've eaten at Boston's Restaurant a few times and ordered their crispy fish-taco. It's really good so i tried making it. Here's what theirs looks like.
They use feta cheese which i didn't have so i used blue cheese. Then i cut up lettuce and tomatoes which i got from the garden

I also added Russian Dressing, Thousand Island Dressing and onions. It was pretty good.


I also painted the table legs, i think the color was metallic brown.

Windmill

Tuesday, 20 October 2009

Several months ago i built a windmill out of a car alternator. My dream was to be able to collect so much electricity that the electric company would be sending ME a check every month.

My dreams were crushed.

A simple way of explaining it was that the wind would spin the alternator, charging up the car batteries, which would go to the DC to AC converter, which would plug into the house. Apparently plugging car batteries directly into an outlet in your house is not good... who knew?

So the windmill had been sitting in my basement in a pile labeled "crushed dreams" Other things were there like a hang-glider made out of a bed sheet and the human powered hydrofoil. I still haven't given up on the hydrofoil...it's too amazingly awesome:

Here's all the pieces before i put it up in the back yard.

Here it is all put together in the basement.

Still in the Closet...haaaaaaayyy

Monday, 21 September 2009

I had been meaning to build shelves in my closet for over a year now. It turns out that this was the day. It took about 5 hours and i still have to paint everything white.
And no i didn't go with HOOKS. It didn't work for Jerry Seinfeld and the virgin and it didn't work for me.
