Sexy Computer Calendar 2011
According to Google, the search term “sexy calendar” frequently resulted in hits for galacticstudios.org. So to satisfy all you vintage computer pr0n fiends out there, here’s 12 more lovelies for 2011. And you can print them out to make your own calendar!
Really Easy Calendar Printer
Every year I make a calendar with pictures of my daughter. None of the available programs or services had the features I wanted so, as with my envelope program, I wrote my own. In the spirit of the season (New Year’s, not Christmas) I’m making it available free for downloading.
A Homemade Spectroscope
Scientists use spectroscopes to identify chemicals – even in stars billions of light years away. They also use spectroscopes to find planets orbiting other stars. With about an hour of effort, I was able to build my own and show my daughter how scientists do it.
Really Easy Envelope Printer
Grandma needed a really easy envelope printing program. I wrote one, and it’s so convenient, I use it myself. Download it here and try it yourself.
Bye, Bye, Birdies
The bird house launched a brood of babies on their way. Now’s the time to catch up on what happened.
Today’s Clueless Kids
It’s been observed that each generation thinks it invented sex. Likewise, each generation thinks its video games are classics. Sometimes, you just have to smack these kids upside the head.
Bob’s Bird Blog in 3D
Three years ago, I put a web cam in a birdhouse and filmed wrens building a nest, laying eggs, and feeding the young. This year, I’m doing again. Except now I have two web cams in the birdhouse, set up to give me a 3D view. Watch out, James Cameron!
Mini Altair 8800 PC
When I was a teenager, I wanted to get an Altair 8800 computer, but I couldn’t afford it. Now, I can. But I wanted something smaller, quieter, and about a million times faster. So I made it. I consider this the crowning achievement of my mid-life crisis nostalgia kick.
Rotation Station for Hole Creation and Wood Ablation
It’s a cross between a workbench and a wheelbarrow, and it’s a great place for a drill press and router table in a cramped workspace.
