Essentially, all I did was take a bluetooth headset, one of those little ones that fits in your ear, and put it inside a retro looking phone. This is only a prototype, but eventually I will make a more advanced one, this is quite rudementary. The red button you see is the call button. It is used to pick up and hang up the phone. It is also used for voice dialing. The power cord is attached to the phone cord through the back of the phone’s base. Then the power travels up the stock line to a 1/4″ stereo jack right to the base of the phone for easy removal. Thats it. Instant bluetooth handset. It works quite well for being my first go at it. The sound is good and so is the range. The total porject cost was barely $75 dollars.

Since I was kid, I have always been in love with classic European automobiles, especially the 1970’s BMW 2002 (the model number not the year). Although these cars are often forgotten, they still live on today as what we now call the 3-series. This car is infamous in car circles, all over the world, and especially in American because this was the first large-scale production vehicle to hit our shores.

So in August of 2005 I found the perfect one for me and went out and bought it from a guy in Navato, just north of me in San Francisco. When I bought the car it was burning oil, was in need of interior repairs, but all around a stable vehicle. This is literally the FIRST car I have dug into like this so follow along and watch as I learn. Nothing is that hard if you have the patience to learn and understand what you are doing.

Here are some photos of the old beat up motor

 

After years of having the same logo that I made when I was 17 I finally decided on something interesting fitting. It only took me 5 years to figure it out. Well here it is.

I created this way back in Junior year of college for a class in which I was doing somewhat mediocre due to my lack in the introductory level discussions. Yea, yea. Anywho, I’ve been tuning and tweaking it on a off over time, but here it is. Please dont sue me for the use of copyrighted works. It was for school.

A friend of my was attempting to open a wine bar which unfortunately never got opened. In the short time we worked together we went through several iterations but never came to a conclusion. He had a hard time time deciding whether he wanted something modern, traditional or somewhere in between. So, what I try and do with my clients is attempt to jog their thought process. This happens often.

This is the final Flash thing that I made for my site. I am not sure why I carried on so long. I guess its because Flash was, at the time, the “flashiest” way to get your message across. I gotta say, it got me some business but its pretty out of date. Nevertheless, is some of my better work and it took many long hours to produce.

While digging through all my old files to try and create this blog I came across this Flash site I never launched. I remember when all the Flash buzzed died I decided to tone down my site but I guess I never got around to launching it.
