Here’s something I’d love to build:
It’s an RC car modified with a kit to replace the battery power cells with a compact hydrogen fuel cell system. It’s a bit expensive, unfortunately — the whole system would probably be ~$2,000. But it would be educational, right?

Merry Christmas!
This is just a test of the WPVideo plugin I just enabled:
How it works: the two Tesla coils have a primary frequency around 40kHz+ — outside the audible range for humans. The signal can be turned on and off at, say, 440 times per second (440Hz = A) to produce an audible tone. So it’s like radio waves being modulated to carry a signal, but it’s actually lightning ![]()
Having read about it from my sister, I decided to find out my own motherstyle:
“My kids are better off arguing their own point of view than telling me, ‘But everyone else is doing it.’”
I’d say it’s pretty close.
I took the superhero quiz and I’m somewhat surprised at the results…
Your results:
You are Superman

You are mild-mannered, good, strong and you love to help others. ![]() |
Not that it means anything, but it’s interesting… share your results!
This is a cool optical illusion — try it out. The brain is weird.
Here is an interesting article on making a career out of designing & developing computer / video games… This is something I am very interested in, but most likely just as a hobbyist. Perhaps once I get to be wealthy enough through other means that I can pursue this full time, that would be fun.
I am interested in developing games mainly for two reasons:
The type of games I’m interested in making are very much family oriented — but it seems to me that current ‘family oriented’ games are geared at ages 3-6… there’s not much there for pre-teen, even into teenage years. I want games that I can play together with all of my boys, something low-key but engaging. It needs to be easy to get into the action, and play for 1/2 to 1 hour — say in the evenings after homework and such is done. Most games I see are just to large in scope to fit that, not to mention that most ‘high action’ games are too violent for my taste.
Anyway, it’s a dream to work towards, hopefully before all my kids are grown and out of the house
What do we like to play now?

This sounds like fun, for when the boys get a little bit older. Close to home, too.
