Finally decided to relax after Finals and hand paint my 3D printer. Very therapeutic.

The semester has finished up and the control deck has been installed on the arcade. Everything works as expected. This was a great project because it forced me to become familiar with MDF wood, wood routers, laminate installation, and general woodworking techniques. I’ve always wanted to build my own Arcade cabinet from the ground up, and with this experience under my belt, I feel I finally have the confidence to tackle such a project in the near future.

I’m fixin’ up and dusting off the old Thing-O-Matic. Time to make the robots.

Time for internships, kicking back, and working on robots.

This semester I get to work on building custom controls for an Arcade Machine for class credit. My type of project!

So the Spring 2012 semester has kicked up and so far it seems manageable (knock on wood). Let’s hope the stress levels are maintained low and I get some time to work on my side projects.

Enjoying the time away from school, commutes, homework, projects, and exams.
