It was my first ever christmas on the west coast away from family. Quite a strange feeling. Made the best of it with my friends here. And also made brownies.

I moved into a different room in my house in August and the process of getting my computer / work area settled has been quite slow. I put up my desk about month ago and today I put up a strip of 3/4” oak against the wall. I HAVE to have thing hung up and keep things off the floor so this gives me a sturdy surface to work off of, and flexible too, since I’ll be adding and removing screws / nails / hooks / whatever as time goes on as I find what works best.

For now I put up some nails to hang my bags, a steel plate for a magnetic board, and some cans for various tools and writing instruments. A can hangs by a single nail and is removable so I can bring it down to the desk when I need it.

The knife is just for fun. It’s a vintage Boy Scouts of America that I found in a free box. It’s a good start for now, I plan on hanging up a lot more stuff, and uggh, some ART please. Enough with these white walls.

It’s nice having a landlord who lets you put holes in your wall ( ^ _ ^ ).

Added a new project, a radio/cd player I created in Rhino. Check it out in the right column or click here.

Added my Cardboard Icosahedron Map Lantern to the projects list. Check it out on the right column or click here. 

Here’s some sketches of a plywood bench I’m currently working on. Expect a full write-up later.
