Now everything is in clean up mode. I have to completely reorganize the lab space I am working in, as well as two adjacent rooms for the coming year. With the course load I am planning to take, I do no know how much time I will have to work on personal projects. However, I will make sure I get everything that I work on at least mentioned on this site.

Last night, a crate filled with a plethora of electronic and mechanical goodies arrived. Included in this crate is my electric motorcycle project, which means I will be able to work on it more while I am at Olin. It is going to be very difficult to focus on work today....

It's not perfect, but at least it gives a sense of the maneuverability of the little bot. I just wrote up a little piece on an omnidrive mechanism I have been working on. I should have videos up soon. Check out the page under Works in Progress and let me know what you think!

And finally after three days, it came down with:
If everything works out, I will soon have my electric motorcycle project, Lloyd, here at Olin. Assuming it doesn't disappear in transit, it should get here this Wednesday. This is going to be way too much fun.
Today I learned that CA "Un-Cure" is not, in fact, foam safe. Now my plane looks like a chemical burn victim. Oh well. Epoxy time!
After a short few weeks of summer in California, I am back at Olin, working my first job with a weekly salary. I love it. Even though my hours are flexible, I tend to work a fairly standard nine-to-five routine. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy the projects I am working on, but having something to get up for in the morning is making my days feel so much more fulfilling.
However, my lack of culinary skills has left my stomach slightly less fulfilled. This weekend I am planning to go to Haymarket to purchase some real vegetables and fruits so that I have more than prcoessed wheat and cheese to eat. In all honesty, I've been eating better than that, but there is still quite a bit of room for improvement. Speaking of which, I need to decide on what I can make for dinner tonight. Cheers! |
