Venture Bros Season 3 shirts. They have a new one every week for each episode. The first two designs are already out of print. :(

Ever since I was 16, I've wanted Kaneda's bike. A few years ago, i saw a japanese website where a guy welded together a steel frame took some cycle parts and basically built one from scratch. That's way too hard for me, but last night I found this:

A full body kit for a Japanese moped

Now being a wacky looking Japanese moped, I assumed they were ( Read more... )

I've been itching  to get back into working on my car and the boats now that the weather's nice. I spend a lot of time in my car, so I don't see why I shouldn't have a decent audio/video system set up in it. Car Audio and Electronics mag had this review of some 2008 Pioneer 6 3/4s ( Read more... )

Fuckfuckfuck. Too much to finish and ship out before Acen.

Here's some quick pics, progress steps and notes later this week:

I don't have a 360 yet, so I don't have Rock Band, but I know that in the future, I'll get them and play a lot with friends. Jen's friends have Rock Band and one guitar, but are missing the adapter piece for the second guitar. I wanted to make her a custom-graphic guitar to bring over to play with them, but finding art compositions that would fit ( Read more... )

So I can finally afford to do research on gel polyester resin spray coated shells with an expanding foam core. The gun's about 150, but the rest of the materials are pretty cheap. I reeeeeaaaally want to see if this actually works, and if so, how long/short it takes. I don't feel like making a large rifle to make molds of just yet, so I'm thinking ( Read more... )
