New York

Since Joe, and Joe have a boat. I figured I should join in.
However I didn't really want to go the sailboat route so I thought I'd go a different one.
By building a (drumroll) BIKE BOAT!!! (A pedal boat only a bike.)



So far all I have is the plans and a bike. But maybe, just maybe, if I'm not too lazy. I might actually build it.

If any one wants to add some modifications or look at the 3D version using google sketchup;
here's the file,
and google sketchup is here.

Rant

O.K. Here's a rant (every blog has to have at least one)... sorry you have to suffer through it.




DUCT TAPE!

Ever need a case for something or a holder for something but
you didn't care enough about it to buy a case?
Well... again, duct tape saves the day!
Here is a case I made for a first gen ipod shuffle

Here I just cut a hole for the headphone jack and folded the sticky part over to make a flap for easy opening! (I'm starting to sound like an infomercial) BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

It usually works pretty well to wrap the duct tape tightly around the object with the sticky side out and then just wrap another layer around that to make it "un-sticky"

From sd cards....



TO PENCIL HOLDERS!!! ALL YOURS FOR ONLY THE 2 MINUTES TO READ THIS + THE TIME THAT IT TOOK YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT + THE TIME TO FIND WHERE THE DUCT TAPE IS + THE TIME TO MAKE IT! ORDER TODAY!



Work disguised as fun


Things I've learned from building models: They take too much time, they usually don't turn out quite as well as you had hoped they would,they get glue all over the place, you do actually have to wait for paint and glue to dry :P, and big pieces would make things a lot easier. (The end.(Just a short rant)

VROOOOOOOOOOMMM!!! SNAP!

:'-(




NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!


As hard as I was on it, it really should have broken a lot sooner. :P


A close up, what's interesting is that by the 123 there was another grey spot, but it went away after a couple of days. O.K. I kind of figured that this would be a longer post... hmm... Oh well.

OH! here we are.... a pointless clip from a song.
A dying elephant.




YAY!

After the pre-stated incident, I bought two palms, one to sell and one to keep....



GERBIL!!!

Well, several months after leap day, I finally found my gerbil...




...I wondered why my horn sounded funny.
