Current Projects

What have I been building lately?

I have a few projects going on right now.  Read on below to see what I am working on:

  I am working on my Prusa I3 3D printer.  Right now I am working on getting stable prints as the hotend and Y-axis are giving me problems right now.
  I have been learning Python on the side as I never really had the chance to learn it while I was in college.
  Besides that I have been working on some arduino projects as well, as I have been fascinated with arduino and all of the cool things that can be made with them.

Track Tuesday

This week I would like to take a look at some interesting instrumental music.  This genre seems to be overlooked, but I feel it is definitely good music to play in the background or while studying or relaxing.  Today's track is entitled Electric Daisy Violin by the artist Lindsey Stirling.  Stirling is an violinist who does originals, and covers of many songs.  Her music is quite good, and it is full of depth and is pretty upbeat and entertaining to listen to.  If you watch any of her music videos you will be able to see that she really does enjoy what she does. You can check out her Youtube channel here For those of you who can play the violin, she also has some of here sheet music for sale She is currently touring in the U.S. check out the list of venues and see if she will be performing near you.  Enjoy the track and look forward to the next Track Tuesday!

Track Tuesday

I have been terrible at blogging lately (since august, whoops) I'll try to work on that.  Anyways it's track Tuesday and this week I would like to show off a wonderful remix I came across yesterday.  It is a remix by Kygo of the song " High for this " which is itself a cover by Ellie Goulding of song by The Weeknd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBXeed9Xz8E .  That's what you could call musiception. The song itself has a catchy beat to it and I admit I might be listening to it as I write this.  The instrumental beat is light and it has a way of resonating in your head until you want to get up and move to the beats. If you enjoy this song you will surely enjoy Kygo's other songs on his soundcloud page and best of all they are all up for a free download.  So go over to his soundcloud page and snag yourself some great tracks.  Happy Tuesday everyone! Edited for links to the Ellie Goulding and The Weeknd Versions.

Workstations: My Two Cents

I came to realize in my high school years I needed a place to do my homework.  This need translated mostly to the kitchen table or maybe the computer desk if I needed to do research.  My first years of college I was issued a desk in the dorm I lived in.  When the time finally came to moving out on my own, I had to make a decision.  What type of work space would I want to have? This type of question might seem simple enough.  I certainly thought so at the time, not much later I realized it was not such a simple question.  For me I was tired of the desks with all of the crap and shelving added.  I wanted a simple desk, a minimalist desk so to speak.   Example of a desk which drives me crazy I searched everywhere in the stores and online with no success.  All I could find were terrible desks which would drive me crazy.  I had one final hope with my search: IKEA.  First of all let me say IKEA is a really interesti...
