New Equipment

          I have some new equipment to play with now!  From bottom to top: Isolation transformer, Oscillator, Fluke DMMx2, Waveform Synthesizer and HP voltmeter.  I'm planning on getting an oscilloscope in the near future and a rack mount PC chassis so I can use GPIB ports, USB etc. for data collection.

Custom iPod Dock

           A couple months ago I decided I wanted an iPod dock for mounting on the wall.  The plan was to use it as a wall mounted (and portable) iTunes remote.  I couldn't find anything on the market that had the 'aesthetic' I was looking for and so I set to work building one.  Behind the screen is a sheet of polycarbonate that I sandblasted; it serves as a diffuser for red LED lights.  When it is set up the screen behind the iPod glows red and lights the wall around it in a red glow.  My goal was to give it an industrial look and I think it turned out pretty well.
