So maybe I can figure out how to list my site updates in chronological order on this page.

In the past I had hired three different people to build me a website & none of them got around to  it.

(OK, the first guy I didn't pay, but the other two got retainers & nothing happened.. )

It seems web designers can be the new Prima Donnas in our culture.

Anyway, I tried to figure out how to build websites.

I built this one & I take all the pictures & write all the copy.

I think it's doing OK, but I get too busy to update it, & when I come back I often forget how the darn thing works.

What I am going to try to do here is asign anchors to various images on the site, & then link the dates below to those anchors.

Click on a date below, & it should take you to the page & the latest projects.

Heck. Maybe I'll get creative & send some of the links to other places. That would be interesting.

I remember my luggage got sent to Singapore once instead of London.

Maybe the baggage handler did it on purpose, or maybe like me he wasn't quite sure which buttons to press.......


September , 2010   Fuel injection update.


August 2010:  How long hs it been ?  The best of intentions, and too many projects. I just posted a few snaps to the what's in the shop now page.  Built a 7 tier Organic garden in the back yard, & each tier is 4X 8. It burns an incredible amount of time but the food is exceptional. Several Bands I am in have been active recording & playing shows. The recording studio I run has been constantly updated, & sonically is providing some impressive sound reproduction. For many years I have been a winemaker, & last year I hit some new highlights on the learning curve towards being a commercial producer, but the time investment is immense. Started a new company to market some of my designs. I started with a 5 channel data logger for vibration analysis, but it got so complicated I don't think I can market them commercially.  ( what people really want is one red button that does it all. Waveform analysis gets  a little deep for the generic consumer I'm afraid.) Great tool though. As an obscure side bar, I'm now building a Guitar players' appliance code named " the Zombie Love Box"   The prototype is sounding great & I'm fine tuning the graphics. The Logo floats in side illuminated lucite & looks pretty cool. The original lucite sign  idea came from a shop I visited in Florence Italy years ago. I showed up on a Friday & the cranky owner said : "Come back Monday. "  I burned 2 days of Hotel time I couldn't afford & arrived Monday at his shop. Of course it was closed . Finally I have been able to fabricate a reasonable version of what I had envisioned: The type of sign that would hang on the side of a building in Milan around 1949 to indicate a Doctors office on the third floor.  Cool !


May 2010:  Let's convert a car to fuel injection ! Currently gathering photos.  This will be interesting,  a new link soon... ( OK, it's August & finally a link.  It is really looking good on the bench. The last fuel injection conversion was to a throttle body & it runs just great. The new one is Multi Port & I can't wait to compare the differences......)


April 2010:   A nice Lancia Fulvia SII coupe comes up for sale.
