For a long time now I’ve been developing a fictional setting in my head. The earlier permutations were posted as webcomics, and I’ve since gone back on those plot ideas. The basics of this setting are that the Fair Folk are real, and they have developed FTL travel. The Sol system where we live was…

2011 Robotics season
In posts for previous years, I have done a bunch of complaining. But I’d like to emphasize the good. Frankly, I’m amazed the team still exists. We managed to get sponsorship somehow, that was good. I have learned a lot about engineering, and it’s been fun despite being frequently harrowing during build season. To be…
Demurr
I’m making this program. And it will do cool stuff. With math. I’ve actully restarted this. The original used Qt 4.6 and MAPM, this one uses Qt 4.7 and CLN. Likely to include SymbolicC++. Planned features, in rough order of precedence: Elementary functions on integer, rational, floats, complex numbers, and real numbers with uncertainty. Vectors,…
Fuel Cell Car
I got a fuel cell car kit for Christmas a few years ago, and I set up the solar cell but not the fuel cell. Turns out the fuel cell acts like a battery. When the solar cell or power supply gives power, the cell conducts electrolysis and produces the gas components, and when the…
STAR Test Spoof
Back in middle school I made this spoof of the STAR test I wasn’t fond of. If I can find the document I’ll update this post with a pdf. I actually traced the cover to make the picture in that entry. Since it’s STAR testing time again, maybe I’ll make a new spoof. But I…
Trellis
I built a simple trellis for some bean plants I’m growing. I kind of went into it without a detailed plan, so I hope it’s not too kludgy. There’s this weird feeling I get when I make stuff, whether it’s art or especially something mechanical, or a program, it’s almost addictive to create. Granted, I…
Favorites
You know what they say about playing favorites. But in an effort to provide you, the reader, with a coherent browsing experience, I have selected the following flash animations from the sites under Domain Index. Since those sites may not be as clear as this one. Also, I only recently realized how much stuff there…
Fly on Screen
Random flash I made awhile back…click the link below to see (no loading screen).
Robot ship day
Tomorrow the robot our team made will be shipped to a warehouse. I will choose this moment to reflect on my FIRST experience. Our team is kind of falling out of favor. Our school is full of people who think it’s cool but aren’t interested, and the interest is vital. We don’t have much of…
