My mom, niece and I went to Key West to scatter my sisters ashes. It turned out pretty well. We were relieved to finally honor her wishes. We were only there a few days but we managed to have a good time all things considered. Sunset from the boat we Chartered Me on the beach [...]
I had an opportunity to tour the Capital Theater in Flint today. As I spent a fair amount of time there as a angsty teen I was curious about what had happened to the place. It was basically decorated in post apocalyptic style when I wasted away my formative years and it has not improved [...]
I haven’t built anything lately. I am planning on working on some furniture projects soon and will post them later. Lately I have been taking photos. I went on a little camping trip to the north western lower peninsula here in Michigan. Here are some of my photos: Check out more on Flickr Yesterday a [...]
I attended a rally in DC on the 26th. It was about the Military Commissions Act that congress passed last year. It is a really bad and unconstitutional law. If you do not know about it you should really find out immediately. The law makes a mockery of our bill of rights. For one thing [...]
I got a Sony A100 Digital SLR and have been taking some photos. I have been experimenting with digital infrared. I know these are not that great so far but if you want to see more, check out my flickr page.

It now plays hundreds of arcade and console games using MAME and other emulators. I am in the “beta-testing” phase of the [...]
The barn behind my house has been seriously overcrowded for a long time. Since I have no basement or garage I use it for my workshop and also for storage. I wanted to buy some more woodworking tools so I added an 5′x12′ addition to store my lawnmower and that kind of stuff. I decided [...]
I finished this a while back but did not get around to posting photos until today. I was waiting because the room this piece is in needs to be repainted. I don’t think I will get around to doing this for a while so here are a few quick shots. I may put up better [...]
I bought this the other day for $40. I have been working on a MAME arcade emulator project and have decided to house it in here. I created a work log for this project in which I will post info about my progress. Technorati Tags: Atari, Centipede, Classic Arcade Game, emulators, M.A.M.E., Mame, Restoration
