My Project on "Futureweapons"

MMW
Wow, I am actually posting something...

A project I have worked on for over 2 years is being featured on the Discovery Channel's "Futureweapons" Show. It has already aired but I have put a copy of it on vimeo. (See the Video After the Break.)

I designed 5 custom Circuit boards, many cable harnesses, and assisted in the mechanical design for 3 motion systems on the MMW side of the Vehicle.

Christmas Light Videos

Hey guys. I know its been a while since I have posted. I have been busy at work.

As you may or may not know, I put computer controlled Christmas lights on my house. They are synchronized to music and free to anybody who comes by my house. This year I have only added songs and not any lights.

Here is a link to this years Videos

Here is my Main site.

Best Buy Black Friday Lines

Westinghouse 22Well today is black friday and earlier in the week I saw the black friday ads on bfads.net. Since my birthday was this month and I asked for money for a monitor I felt that a deal from Best Buy was great.

A " Westinghouse 22" Widescreen Flat-Panel TFT-LCD Monitor" for $199.99. Therefore, this morning my father and I got up at 4:00 am and went to best buy. We got there by 4:30 and the line was about 500 people long. It got even longer by 5:00 though It was probably about 750-800 then.



Annoucing my website for the CLAUSE Project http://palmbaylights.com

I have Launched the website, and am almost finished putting up lights. More to come soon.

lortutorial1.jpg Ok some of you may have wondered how I made my screen captured videos of my Christmas Light Animations. So I decided to write a tutorial for those who want to share.

First off you will need Windows Media Encoder 9. You can find it at this Link

After Installing WME 9 Then follow the following steps:

Yesterday I started putting up lights for my Christmas display. Everybody kept on saying, Halloween isn't even here yet don't put you lights up. I told them I don't want to feel rushed later because I am going to have my official lighting ceremony the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Anyway I have finished all the lights that are up on my gutterline 14 strings of 150 lights a total of 2100 lights. And I am just getting started.... Evilgrin.

I ran into a couple problems once they were up and I was starting to test them. Half of one strand of Icicles is out, I still need to go figure out what bulb is bad.

Dell Axim x51v PDA

This is gratuitous self advertising, but I am selling my Dell Axim x51v PDA, I found I don't use it too much, it works fine but I would prefer having the money for Christmas presents. IE. being able to pay Jessi for her Purse Making Work that she is doing for me.

Here is the EBay Link.

clause_lor_1.jpgI know its been a while since I have talked much about this project, but I have  been busily working on it for the past few months.

I believe I last left you off in Part 1 with Pictures of my FM Transmitter assembly completed. Since then I have assembled my Light-O-Rama [LOR] Controllers, pulled power and signal wires, Built and mounted enclosures, and sequenced some songs.
