Magnetic Clothes Hanger System

2007-04-18T10:35:00.000-05:00

Check out this new design by daniel to! It's a revolutionary clothes hanger system. Instead of a suspended rod to hang clothes on, the hanger hooks have been replaced by magnets and you have some kind of hanging magnetic sheet that allows you to attach the hangers anywhere you want.

Painting the Mona Lisa in MS Paint!

2007-03-31T14:37:00.000-05:00

I came across this video at UNEASYsilence.

This is an awesome video of someone painting the Mona Lisa in Microsoft Paint! According to the video, it took 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete.

I'm sure they were using some kind of pen tablet, if not a Wacom Cintiq...

Simple Harmonic Movement

2007-02-25T12:13:00.000-06:00

I pity the non-engineers who cannot discern the sinusoidal motion on the part of the subject… We engineers, on the other hand, take delight in burying ourselves in such interesting research.

John McEleney, SolidWorks CEO

2007-02-09T22:03:00.000-06:00

Here's a pic of me with John McEleney, the CEO of SolidWorks. It was taken on February 6, 2007 at the offsite event SolidWorks takes it's customers to. Since we were in New Orleans this year, it was at Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World!

The WOZ

2007-02-09T21:23:00.000-06:00

Here's a pic of me meeting Steve "WOZ" Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple. This was at SolidWorks World 2007 in New Orleans on February 6, 2007. He was the keynote speaker for the General Session that day. He was pretty much giving an autobiography of his life and what influences and experiences he had in his life when he was young that shaped him.

He is a very energetic and humorous speaker. Sadly, he ran out of time before he finished. I could have listened to him all day talk about everything he got into when he was younger and coming up through college to him founding Apple Computers with Steve Jobs.

Sorry the image is so crappy, but I took it with my phone while driving and had to do several shots. I was trying to get it before it rolled to 100,001 (although that would've probably been a pretty neat image, too!). I suppose I should have just pulled over and got a better pic, but oh well!

2006-03-20T23:24:00.000-06:00

When retards drive slower than the speed limit up to a light, holding everyone behind them up, and then run the fricken' light!!! Stupid ass!!! I wish I had time to get my cell cam ready, I would have got a pic of him running it redder than hell!!!

The Most Awesome Remote I Have Ever Seen!

2006-03-13T22:44:00.000-06:00

This remote is fricken' awesome! It is THE only remote I will ever need. No more keeping the "supplied" remotes out to do what the universal one won't do...and the macros you can make are almost unlimited! I never thought that I would spend that much for a universal remote, but I don't regret it in the least!
