Projects

A note on categories

I've tried to categorize my projects as either "Physical" or "Digital". There is usually some overlap, so think of it as a Venn diagram where some projects will most likely be both.

Color Changing Outdoor Light

My wife has this globe garden decoration that hasn't worked for years and I've started fiddling around with it. I'm currently waiting for parts now. Parts are in, but I've hit a snag.

ESP32

When I started working on the Lucid Gloves, I didn't expect to be sucked into playing with microcontrollers. I've been having fun playing with the ESP32 microtroller and some cheap sensors. I even created a Github repo .

Attention Grabber

As a parent of a video game-playing teenage boy, it is sometime hard to get his attention. This is an ESP32 running a web server with a light attached.

Light bulbs

What do you do with hundreds of burnt-out incandescent light bulbs? Save 'em for years until you can think of what to do with 'em. I'm right on schedule.

Currently I'm creating my own slip ring.

Ring Swing Game

A game that I saw at a graduation party that I wanted to enhance. It's pretty low priority. After sitting on it for a year, I finally got around to building it. It's almost complete. Will I actually write anything about it?

Rain Train Fix

I have a rain train that has stopped working. Water pours out of the bottom. I bought a replacement o-ring but it's too big and doesn't allow the "arms" to spin. I have to go back and try again.

Animations

Just some fun I've been having with CSS animations. If something doesn't work for you, I'd love to know.

1.0.0 Released

2021-08-31

I felt obligated to release 1.0.0 of the site when I read on semver.org that if you are in production, you should be at least 1.0. So, I pushed 1.0.0 today. And of course, writing this probably makes me have to bump this up a version. I won't if it's just a new post, but I really don't have posts up yet. So here's to 1.0.1! 🍾

Headphones Holder

I designed and printed a thing that would clip to my desk at work and have a hook to hold my headphones. I wanted to keep the cord

from getting tangled up, so I created a groove that would allow for swapping of different other pieces so I could prototype different ideas.

I used my "wood" filament which allowed me to lightly sand it in the end and I think it turned out well.
