Rival Messenger
Its late, but I got the entire object tree figured out for chat windows, tabs and chat sessions! It will be an adium style tearable tab chat window interface, but with chat/call headers much like skype does. The header will expose participants as well as extra functions
I got up early and managed to get some code down. Started on the chat interface for Rival Messenger. I am basing it roughly on how Adium does chat windows with tabs. It’s amazing how quickly even skeleton code balloons as you start something like this!

I finished the pending friend request logic tonight. We now bounce the dock, show the dock badge etc. Clicking the dock with a pending request will show the pending friend requests window, accept/decline works as expected and updates the applicable states of everything.

Cheap vibration isolation for your couch/sectional for bass transducers!
I was looking online for a good solution for vibration isolation for our sectional. I was looking at bass transducers such as the Clark Synthesis or Buttkicker LFE. Both companies offer rubber solutions of varying expense, all far too expensive
Project Dyson v2 - Time to revisit this project, the last one failed when the stock impeller melted solid due to the speed of the brushless motor I had attached. This time around I will be mounting an EDF inside the housing, and blowing right out the back it. With
Time for me to start making stuff again… It has been FAAARRRR too long. I whipped this together at lunch time today, simple 3 channel PWM using TIP142s. It is driving a 30W RGB LED at 30V, and at peak it runs around 1.8A of draw.
