My next title is almost done! Check it Where Madness Watches!
My latest scenario, The Chiaroscuro Descent, just made COPPER! Check it out here: The Chiaroscuro Descent
All done... Well, as good as it gets. I will start posting more stuff soon.
Life is been way to busy. I need to get some pictures taken and write up a few things... More to come.
The Star Wars Speeder Bike page is up! I also got the galleries up for the Speeder Bike and my Prusa i3 Mk2 mod to 2.5! I will be doing a a write up on my Prusa upgrade shortly.
I just got the 3 new Star Wars Propel Drones! Will be taking pictures soon.
I am rebuilding the site from scratch. But I do have the images and text. Just not and an easily importable form...It is going to take time to fix. I am not going to re-add all of the news articles.
Most links will be broken until I can fix them. Some will not be fix - the old site is gone. No time to fix it.

Welcome to My World!
Well, at least that is how it seems to me. We have had a lot of work done around the house and we are almost done with this round of it. Judy is prepping for the Pikes Peak Studio tour. Which means, I have to help as well.
The Drakenberry Pi is still on the bench. I have all of the bits. I just need to get it all wired up. The LCD and RetroPie install is done. I just need to find the time to finish it up. Once I get it done, I will do up a write up for it.
And Prusa Research finally got in the spring steel PEI coated sheets. I ordered one and got it in 3 days... not too bad. Looks like that solved my first layer issues. Now I can work on the old sheet and see if I can rejuvenate it...
I want to get back to painting again, but that takes time too...
More to come.

I haven't had much time to do many things lately.
Recently, we started moving my wife's art studio from the basement to an upstairs room. Needless to say, it has been quite the affair, and it still is not done. I am hoping that the worst is over. She found a map cabinet locally for an excellent price. However, I did not realize how heavy they are. Each drawer weighs about 50 pounds... there are 10 drawers per cabinet and there are two cabinets - over a thousand pounds of steel.
The original plan was to stack them on a cart so they can be shifted around and the top one would get a work surface put on it. BUT... at over a thousand pounds, it still did not want to move with the big wheels I put on it. So, she sold one of them and I put even bigger wheels on the cart. Now it moves at least and I had to build a table to go around it. Been a busy weekend.
Lots of little stuff to finish up for her studio, but it is coming along.
I have been working on a portable game emulator, the Drachenberry Pi. I got the STL files from Thingiverse. So far so good. Been working on getting all the wiring done. I will do a project page for it once I get it done.
I also finally have all of the parts for a new quad... Just need some time to get to it.
ttfn,

June flew by... I haven't been painting much, but I did get some stuff primed for painting. My sister came for a visit and we stayed really busy the whole time she was here. But I did manage to get one project done...
I made a RaspberryPi Echo Dot clone.... and it works, just like the Amazon Echo Dot. Keep in mind, if you had to buy everything, you could probably gotten 2 dots. BUT, what fun would that be and I can extend it to use the GPIO on the RPi. The only thing I had to buy was as usb microphone. - I had everything else on hand.
You can find a walk through on Lifehacker. I did mine as a part of a stackskills course, The 2018 Ultimate Guide to Raspberry Pi. It was $9.99 and covers a lot of ground for the price, from webservers to camera servers, but the final project is to build an Echo Dot clone. Now I need to learn how to set up skills.
I plan on taking some photos and doing a little write up on it. I am just not quite there yet.
ttfn,
Keith
