RIP Dell XPS 700

My computer died on me today. It turned on but nobody was home. According to Dell the motherboard needs a replacement but being that the computer is 5 years old and out of warranty my only option is a new computer. Replacing just the motherboard would cost as much 25-35% of a new equivalent PC. …

I’ll be posting the next update (possibly final update) for my starship project soon. But as of today it just occurred to me that I have been working on this model for over an entire year! I started on it on October 12, 2009 and it is still not finished. Of course, I continue to …

I had previously said in my last update that the next update would probably be the last starship project update but in reality there is still a lot to do. A lot of time has passed since update 15 and that is due to other SketchUp projects taking focus. The Infirmary and the Brig are …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge, SketchUp

My entry for this challenge (F1 Inspired 3-Wheeled Roadster) is a 3-wheeled lightweight roadster designed for high performance yet economical. It would be powered by an Inline 4 cylinder gasoline engine (likely a large motorcycle engine with a lot of torque). It would be constructed of all lightweight materials including fiberglass and carbon fiber to …

For this challenge I created a concept for a compact stereo system. It is a combination of a full 7.1 surround sound AV receiver, a BluRay player and a biometric iPod safe. As far as I know there are no biometric iPod safes in existence. When you place your iPod in the dock it is …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #103 – 2D Components

This challenge seemed very unconventional to me so I decided to do something unconventional for SketchUp. SketchUp is a great program for 3D modeling but not so much for flat 2 dimensional images. For this challenge I decided to created a parody of a game I used to play as a kid called Wolfenstein 3D. …

After taking a long break from competing in the Google SketchUp 3D Challenge I decided to give it a go with Challenge #102 – Public Transportation. I just looked to see how much time has gone by since the last entry into the challenge and I was stunned to see that my last entry (#88 …

In my last update I said that I was going to work on 4 things this time. Well, that didn’t happen but for good reason. I didn’t create Hyperdrive motivators because I found out that a Hyperdrive motivator is the same as a Hyperdrive generator and I already made the generator. I didn’t move the …

I decided to give the new default theme for WordPress a try. It is much simpler than the other one but it will let me try out some new features in WordPress 3.0.  So far so good but it still needs work.

Once again I have broken my record (like a broken record) of snapshots for these starship updates with 40 pictures. This time I worked on the rest of door controls, the elevator controls, but most importantly I created the new engineering section in its entirety. There also were some more inconsistencies and minor underlying issues …
