This is worse than that time the raccoon got in the copier!

I present to you, the self destructing Pigeon

I think that when Mitsubishi designed these things it wasn’t so much as a post war re-industrialization project for Japan as it was a psychological weapon designed to harm Americans in the future. I was working on it for the last couple days swapping out engines since the one in it had a slight rod knock, and after getting it all back together it backfired on the first kick and sheared the flywheel key. Maybe they were never meant to be ridden, maybe they are more a stationary sculpture then a scooter. The other c-75 Pigeon I have is not getting its original drivetrain put in it after this crap, thinking of force feeding it a nice Honda CRF four stroke.

This game is awesome. Beyond awesome. I mean, just look at these screenshots that I took! LOOK AT THEM!!

Those are all from the game, not any cut scene or other pre rendered crap. I just can’t describe how freaking beautiful this game is at times. If I had the moneys I would totally buy an Impreza Sti and tear up some real tracks, but since I don’t this game helps bring that dream a little bit closer. If you like racing, rally, etc then you have to get this, its just out of control.

Awhile back I picked up an Arduino to play with. They are pretty fun to mess around with and seem very flexible as to what they are hooked up too or running. I scrounged around the printer grave hard until I found a Lexmark that had a serial LCD display poking out. Some quick screwdriver work liberated it, and then I looked up the data sheet on it, grabbed a tutorial from Lady Adda on LCD’s, and ended up with this.

It spits out random sentences on the top and bottom every so often. So it could say Chuck Norris… Caught fire. Ostrich… Ate a Banana. etc. Not useful, but kind of cool.

Here is something from a ways back, Mr. Bear!

Its the comps from when a couple of my co-workers and me decided to try and make an Xbox 360 XNA game. They were doing the coding side, and I was tearing up the art. So I did some lvl comps, made some flash animations of Mr. Bear running and walking to be used as sprites in the game. But sadly thats as far as we got. I’m not calling the project dead, cause I would still like to get a little flash game out of it, or maybe use the stuff for a kids book or something. Anyways the bears hopeless look makes me smile for some reason, he’s one melancholy bear.

Heres what my lil controller for upcoming circuit bending projects looks like. Gotta love reusing old PC power supplies, they rule for little project boxes.

It has 2 rows of just normal old throw switches and two Potentiometers that run down into some old parallel ports that I ripped off some old computers. This way you can take an old printer cable, hack it in half, and solder the loose ends into what ever electronic device you want to break bend. So now its just a matter of ripping something open and playing with the wacky sounds.

So I know I haven’t posted a lot of stuff up here recently, I think it has to do when I had to get my apendix out back in the middle of last month. So heres the run down of what is on my to do list.

Circuit Bending- Have the switch box made, need to break some toys now

Nerf proximity gun- Have the parts, needs to be built

Aerial Video- Picked up a small camera, need to shove it in something

Got a new bike- Need to write something about that, cause its new and a bike.

And need to get up more pictures/photos

So that gives me a good pile of stuff to sort through. Check back often to see how much of it I completely ignore and end up not posting, its going to be fun
