…he just doesn’t know it. But, hey, he responded to a Twitter post by one of the @PredFans participants! Oh, and if you didn’t know, he’s a HUGE New Jersey Devils fan and a pretty active Twitter user.
For those who do not know about @PredFans and ReTweetBot, it’s my little programming baby and [...]

Let’s just start from the beginning (aka “the excuse”). I had to install Windows XP or Vista on my MacBook Pro for the data architect class I’ve been taking. Since this is work-related, I snagged work’s copy of Vista. We have a volume license, etc, etc, so it’s legit. However, I [...]

After assembling the prototype template using cardboard, I started taking external measurements. Refinements to cutouts were made and all dimensions were converted to millimeters. I’m strongly considering using Ponoko for this project. It’s a good excuse to try it out.
