A beautiful sunset - the picture doesn't do it justice because I have a crappy camera - you should have seen it.


And... fun with a pumpkin carving kit! Tara's is on the left.

Robotic webcam

Yup...im officially an evil genius... I built a robotic
web cam that can be controlled via the internet. It can
move left and right or to any point on a 180 degree radius.
It uses vex robotic parts, a programming controller, a
wec cam, imagr capture software, and a web server. I'd give
you the link to check it out but I don't want hundreds of
people checking it out and breaking it or worse ... Hacking
my network. If any one wants to check it out though just
drop me a line and ill send you the link.

Edit:
My beautiful wife informs me that I'm not "that" important, and perhaps hundreds of people don't visit my blog... so I'm pretty safe in posting the link to the web cam here.... But be gentile with it - it's still in alpha... ;-)

Fall?

Is it fall already? This tree has lost most of its leaves
already and they are all brown ..... And its only the beginning
of august!

Friday night

So I guess I'm just not much of a partyer... Its friday night and tara and I are at a party where we can get drunk and not worry about driving... And instead of partying... I am sitting in the car by my self blogging. I guess I just don't enjoy the party scene too much.

I like the concept of partying but when it comes down to it I just don't like it to much... Anyway I think tara is having fun and that is what is important to me anyway. :-)

Robots

robots are my friends.

Thus is a robot that built and wrote the programing for...
It would automatically find all the walls in the room. Some
would call that a waste of time...not me...to me its pure
fun!!!

Two days in muskegon

Thursday, after our car "broke"... We went to muskegon.
We spent the night at our "boss's" house... We humg out
and had some mike's... Then on friday, we watched his kids
and that is about it. Sound boring? it was... And that was
what was so great about it. Very relaxing. We are on our
way back to the real world now.
