I haven't posted anything here in a while. That's probably because I haven't _DONE_ anything here in a while. Work has been keeping me busy, but so has a new passion. This is kind of a 20% Time kinda project, but it's likely to take far more than 20%, and it involves a few other people too, so I created a new blog for it.
I'm building a Steampunk stylized live steam powered rickshaw/pedicab. My goal is to take it to places like Maker Faire, Steampunk Exhibition, Handcar Regatta, etc. Less steam-specific uses are places like San Luis Obispo Bike Happening, Arroyo Grande Harvest Festival Parade, etc. And besides, I think it would be a hell of a lot of fun.
I do still have a few 20% Time projects I need to keep working on. For example, I would really like to get the audio mixer system working on my motorcycle. I also need to keep making progress on puffer. Thirdly, my analog panel meter clock is so close to being done, I need to just bang that out and finish it. So hopefully I won't be totally neglecting these other projects.
