Slight Delay -Today

The kiteboard article is all written and was ready for posting this afternoon – as promised, but my FTP would not connect to my server today for some reason. Hopefully it will work tomorrow – it’s done and will be up as soon as I can send it through the clogged pipes of the interweb…

I’m still here!

It has been quite some time(almost a month) since my last post in which I was hyping my fancy new kite I had just built and promising a how to article. That article is still coming (today or tomorrow) I am about 3/4 done with it at this moment. I was Hoping for a nice lazy summer where I wrote articles and blogged a lot, but I got bumped up to 40+ hours a week at my job (where I have been making quite a lot of interesting things I’ll write about when I get the time. An image of one such interesting thing (a vacuum chamber) is pictured below) and a phrase I’ve never understood until this moment: “life happend”

I’ll still be writing my articles – nothing can stop me from creating things and doing projects. The best way to stay informed and find out when new interesting things have been posted is to subscribe to my rss feed.
