I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Jan 7, 2014. Donald Empson, Sinclair computers, and the Street Where You Live. I have always been fascinated by computers. My father worked for Burlington Northern doing "computer stuff" back in the days of punchcards and floors upon floors of whirring machinery. He obviously enjoyed them as well. My hunger for a computer of my own was satisfied by the Timex Sinclair 1000. It was a pre-built version of the ZX-81, except it had twice as much memory - 1k!

I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Jul 29, 2013. Delinquent. Late. Behind Schedule. Whatever. Updated a ton of pictures in my photo albums, but I'm not going to say which ones, you have to guess. Once I get all caught up I'll post something nicer. Just wanted a post on this blog from this year instead of last year. More next year! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Sep 15, 2012. Bear Lake, Sailboats, and the shadow of my father. There has been a lot of playing with the rats, which is awesome. And then they sleep well at night. Yes, I mean the rats and. I don't know how the pellet managed to penetrate, remaiin intact, and end up backwards. But the best part of the day was seeing the sailboat on the lake. We don't know whose it is, but it's roughly the same size as the boat Dad used to sail on Bear Lake.

the static quo: Helmet audio and gear packing.
http://fnirt.blogspot.com/2013/09/helmet-audio-and-gear-packing.html
I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Sep 5, 2013. Helmet audio and gear packing. The $9 helmet headset kit from office max. Fits like nothing is there and sounds great. In past years I have done everything from drain my phone battery by listening to mp3's to getting an old old ugly mp3 player and taping that to the scooter. I think this is probably going to be a bit easier solution but it may be kind of a hassle with the cord hanging down. We'll see. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Dec 6, 2012. Jill is out of town for a couple days and she's barely out the door before we converted the breakfast nook into a soldering/glue gun project station. I got the kit for the brain machine. At the Maker Faire last year but hadn't put it together. Lily has been bugging me to do it so tonight was the night. Me: "Will it hurt if we burn ourselves on the hot glue gun? Lots of fun for all. Bonus project danger: seizures! It's OK we're all fine.).

I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Oct 2, 2013. British Comedy I love, also available streaming on Netflix. Trippy, funny, dark. Comedy about hangmen. What's not to like? I wish there were a thousand episodes. Simon Pegg, a bunch of wonderful actors, and more sci-fi references than you can keep up with. I wish I was Bernard Black. The League Of Gentlemen. A show so strange and funny you can smell it. If I were British, I would be this uncool. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I feel more like I do now than when I got here. Dec 14, 2013. Harold the Christmas Spider(s). Google turned a couple stills into an animated. GIF automatically. Wasn't that nice of them? It's Harold, the Christmas Spider! We took out some Christmas decorations today and Lily noticed a couple of dead spiders. They looked kinda curly and scary, but my first thought was "let's look at them closer! Here is a quarter close up:. And a few more pictures of Harold, the Christmas Spider. Links to this post.
