Again it’s been ages since I wrote an update. A lot has happened and even more to come. I don’t like to write about personal stuff that involves others than myself, so I’ll just say close family has had a very rough last couple of months.
Some problems of my own, but nothing too bad. I have a back that’s been haunting me for over two weeks now, so I’ve finallytaken the step to have it looked at. Hope it’s just a muscle but the doctor warned me about it might being a prolapse. Read More..

As I wrote earlier, I ordered and Arduino Duemanilove and a Protoshield from eBay. Early this week it arrived and I was thrilled to get my hands on it. I haven’t had much chance to play with it yet, as we’ve had an immense snowstorm here. It’s been snowing for at least 4 days straight now, and that ammounts to over 4 feet of snow during those days alone. My back’s out and more snow is coming down. I don’t have much components lying around, as I forgot to order them and there’s no way I can drive to get some. I have some stuff I want to try but for now they’ll have to wait. Read More..

I was seriously late in watching last weeks episode, even though I was waiting for it for ages. Last episode was for me one of the best to this date. I thoroughly enjoy when Sheldon steps of the realm of sanity. One thing that’s become more clear in season 3: Leonard has become more “human” and normal. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still the same neurotic, lactose-intolerant nerd he always was, but he just seems more at ease. Read More..

This isn’t really an idea as I’ve already built one of these, and the other one is not mine.
First: I’ve been into model rocketry almost as long as I’ve been tinkering. Started out with some simple store bought rocket and moved into (of course) making these things myself. Rocket motors are dangerous and when firing you should be a safe distance away. A 9V battery is sufficient to fire the starter but that’s not a decent solution for a maker. I did some searching and thinking and came up with the VERY high voltage circuit from a disposable camera. This thing cranks out about 400V and is VERY DANGEROUS! You should only attempt to Read More..

This has been a curious week. I was anxiously waiting for the next episode of The big bang theory, but that was before I had checked to see the next airing 
No new episode this week, had to wait. As I couldn’t watch that, I remembered Legend of the seeker. I watched that show like a hawk during season one, but somehow lost track. Got caught up again now and the show delivers even more than the first season.
It didn’t take all week to catch up in episodes, but I’ve been Read More..

I came across the YouTube user makemagazine a while back, but forgot about it until I found it again yesterday. There is also a website MakeZine where the videos and content is available.
If you, like me, enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together (might not be in the original shape/way/form), this site is a must-read for ideas.

No more work today, day is all done. I haven’t made any plans this weekend and hope I don’t have to. The plan is to relax and try to get better. Been a bit under the weather this week, and just now started feeling a bit better. I was supposed to work tomorrow, but had to get someone to take that shift for me.. No way I could be outside for hours and still get better.
I’ve got work bright and early monday morning, and have to be fit for that. Maybe I can watch a movie or two and also try to get some personal stuff done.
Hellboy II: The golden army is on the TV now, but I’ve seen it allready so I’m not really watching. The movie is OK and all but I think it’s too much like the first and looks like it was made just to make a sequel.

I wasn’t too happy with the layout I had, so I’ve been looking around to see if I couldn’t find a better and more suitable one. Only tested this a few minutes now, but so far it’s looking pretty good.
Once I’ve played with it a little and worked out a few kinks, I’ll post a better update on this.

I watched the latest episode today, and this show just doesn’t stop delivering. I don’t want to write too much, to spoil the episode but here’s the basics:
Leonard and Sheldon get home to find their apartment burglarized and Sheldon goes off on one of his normal rants.
