T-Shirt Folding machine

( My Day )

T-Shirt folding machine

Found this on digg. Built one this morning out of an Amazon box. It works pretty well, although I like my tshirts trifolded vertically and this only does bifold. Ah well, maybe it’s time for me to switch that up, if only so that I can use my new machine.

UPDATE: […]

Happy Chinese New Year!

( My Day )

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone (Year of the Dog). El and I went up to Milwaukee on Friday for dinner with my family to celebrate. We had to drive back the same night because I had this thing early the next morning, so that was a little straining.

Got back from my Malaysia […]

Ironic Hold Music

( My Day )

I was just on hold for a while with Cingular Customer Service (getting my phone unlocked before I leave for Malaysia). First I had a lady ask me for my identifying info and then I was put on hold. Then another operator picked up and asked me the exact same questions. I […]

The War Book

( My Day )

When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids. I read and reread the book over and over and it probably inspired several crazy recurring ideas throughout my life. Basically, the story is about a kid named Skinny Malinky who leads […]

Holiday Recap

( My Day )

Happy holidays, again… hope it all went well for you.

I finished wrapping presents here at the condo late Fri night and drove up the next morning. Went pretty much straight to church with the folks. The Christmas service has definitely changed over the years. This year was a multimedia presentation through some […]

Snow!

( My Day )

First snow! Just dandruff right now.

Z-Day

( My Day )

I think that zombies have become my new favorite Halloween monster. I was really into vampires as a kid, but there seems to be a zombie renaissance going on. I think that while they have certain similarities (being able to turn their victims), zombies have a certain charm. I mean, most of […]

TV…

( Geek Stuff and My Day )

Just purchased a TV from Abt Electronics… It’s the Sony 42″ LCD rear projection. This should last me for years.

So, anyway, drove out to Glenview w/ Todd and my brother to scope it out in person. They didn’t have the 42″ out, just the 50″, but for all intents and purposes, […]

Days go by

( My Day )

Just got internet set up at the new place… Grr, the router I got from Staples doesn’t support WDS, so my airport express is lying on the floor of the living room, gasping for air. I ran a cable from the kitchen over to the living room so that the Tivo could phone […]

Almost…

( My Day )

I’ve got 3 hours til the arrival window of my movers. Think it’s mostly packed. If not, it’s not the end of the world. I’m pretty excited to have my own place as I was woken up this morning around 7AM by the kid downstairs throwing a temper tantrum. In the […]
