I finally received an email from Think Geek about my missing Airzooka. They apologized and shipped it out on Thursday. It arrived today. It’s larger than I thought it would be. Kinda nifty though. It really does shoot air a decent distance. Bailey positively hates it. This would be great with cats too. I bet Read More …

It’s been 3 years since I’ve been to Kings Island. We went down on Saturday which was part of the GE Aircraft Engines weekend. The last time I went, 3 years ago, it was the same weekend and just as crowded as any other Saturday. This time around though, crowded was the last word I’d Read More …

My order came on Thursday but something was missing, the Airzooka Air Gun. The shipping invoice said it had been shipped. The email notification from ThinkGeek said it had been shipped. But it did not arrive. The email notification with tracking number for Airborne Express listed 1 package at 11 lbs. I received 2 packages, Read More …

Here is something I found interesting and possible only because of recent advances and the openings of the world: The New Diamond Age. The possibilities are quite endless once mass quantities of cheap diamond can be created. Many SCI-FI books have countless uses for diamond in a world where it’s almost free to manufacture. We’re Read More …

At long last the basement office is begining to look done. Of course, it woudln’t be one of my projects if it went entirely smooth. They ran out of splash material at on end of the room and have to come back when more is fabricated. Also, the need for a brace at the back Read More …

This weekend saw another visit by my uncle and another 20+ hours of work on the office. All the cabinets are hung, doors are on (but still need adjusted), file drawers and CPU holders are in place. Tomorrow morning the counter top gets installed. Check out the progress.

So far, nothing. No summons, no more phone calls, nothing. It could be that the court system is just slow or maybe this is normal, I’m not really sure how long it takes to file in small claims and get served. More than likely they guy was bluffing and I called his bluff. Why would Read More …
