MacinTap[edit]

I have a proof of concept utilizing a cold plate from a jockey box, some Peltier coolers and a Macintosh Plus case to create as far as I know... the world's first solid state Thermo-Electric Beer Server. It has passed an initial alpha test, but requires some beta testing.

Urban Assault Vehicle[edit]

Stella and I just bought a 1972 Winnebago Brave we in the process of hacking.

  • It of course is requiring some mechanical upkeep, but this vehicle is older by far than the vast majority of NB members and is arguably in better shape.
  • We are installing an EVDO card, WiFi router, new speakers on the inside, KVM mounted to a wall, on board computer for music/movies, PA system outside, lots of lights...
  • We are painting the whole thing matte silver on the outside, medical white on the inside, blackout fabric curtains, lots of fans...
  • We are making a permanent bar in the rear, and maybe install a beer keg and/or absinthe fountain.
  • Basically we are making the best possible place EVAR to hang out at Burning Man during a dust storm.

/etc/blah[edit]

  • I pay the bills as an Apple Certified Trainer, so I teach newbs how to deploy and maintain Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server in various ways, and repair the hardware under warranty. I could teach (of the record, nothing relating to my company or Apple) some of the basics of networking, basic Unix navigation and troubleshooting MOSX systems.
