Lego Base Mod(s) #2
Workshop Side Projects (2)
Lab Work – Lego Device Housing or Base
Lego® Base Mod update… it’s been awhile since I’ve posted any information or updates on the tablet/device base, so here it is base mod 2.
- Situation – think fast, tablet housing. Need a handsfree, desktop friendly table housing.
- Challenge – build a tablet housing (landscape orientation only) to house an iPad. Regardless of what model or make, we had an iPad, make something that will work in 5 mins.
- Accessible materials – Legos®, Toothpicks, Pipe cleaners, various
- Go!
While base mods are for prototyping only, we recommend getting your hands on the Brenthaven.
Pulling this content forward, second edition accounts for ‘tipping’ and/or stability issue, number of bricks, screen angle and orientation. Issues, devices would tip or fall forward/backward depending on how the user might set the device. Reduced a few bricks, however most were repurposed as support columns or ‘feet’ which helped acute screen angles. Moving forward, mod features portrait and landscape viewing. Caveat, charging cord need was nixed, user will have to set the tablet down when charging or charge in landscape only. There will come a point, at some point, we will include a charging cord mod down the road.

Those of you who own an Innova 3320 Multimeter, here is the manual in pdf form. (( LOUD NOISES )) I don’t believe the manual was ever included in the original packaging…
Buzz kill. PUN INTENDED.
However, QR codes help if you misplace yours… not preferred. One improvement from my perspective Innova… kindly provide a manual with purchase. Provide a QR code for lost manuals or backup.

Lego® Train Depot, always good to have Legos handy… especially since this train has a big smoke stack and weird oblong, unstable shape. Most of the time, the ‘casing’ was upside down where the electronics are housed.

Grumble Grumble – The Legend of Zelda
“Grumble, Grumble” (reference noted below) Everyone needs a little 80’s gamer nostalgia, 80’s NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) NOSTALGIA! Warning, this post may not be for everyone, certainly aiming to cover the Golden Ratio – 80/20 split, 20% being the hardcore gamers of the 80s/90’s. Those of you in the 80% or more, fair warning.
For those who had the pleasure of playing the first NES golden catridge, a.k.a The Legend of Zelda… more specifically had your own run in with the Goriya… you’ll remember, in order to pass through the halls of the Angry Goriya, food was the trick. So, finding meat and feeding the beast was truly the only way forward. Between the Goriya trap, other tools of the trade – sword, the boomarang; the flute. I spent along time on this game, way back when. If there was only a way to play the game online (PC) via DLC or SIM… I’d be up for a new adventure, the adventure found in The Legend of Zelda.
You’ll need some NES (this afternoon? tonight? all the time… people it’s THE LEGEND OF ZELDA). Could be a top 10 fan favorite for others, Top 5 of 10 NES games of all time? Might be #1 fan favorite for some, definitely at the top of the heap, may be top 3 or 4 for others.
* COFFEE WARNING *
Heart Coffee Co. – ((COFFEE WARNING))

Heart Roasters – Bodum French Press
…running low, DANGEROUSLY LOW on coffee! Love this stuff by Heart Roasters. #PerqSRQ stop in the near future, feed the need. #HeartRoasters coffee.
My go to is the Ethopian variety, dubbed ‘Ethiopia Worka Sakaro’ (my opinion, the best I can get my hands on, week-over-week or when in a bind). Not a coffee snob per say, nor do I claim any such title, but this stuff brews well in the Bodum Chambord french press… its hanging around the office here… somewhere. You can pick this ‘frenchie p’ up for ~$40
The Bodum french press will be posted at some point. We will highlight the Nespresso machine, Coletti Camp Percolator and other EDC(DD) every day coffee dispensary devices. We will hold off on the Keurig machine, and the pour over… Again, for now we will focus in on the french press, percolator and espresso machines.

Guitar Lessons Online by Justin Sandercoe
A classic YouTube offering, YouTuber, guitar lessons online via Justin Sandercoe. ((SHOUT OUT)) to Justin Guitar… I’m sure there are far more to note here, but here are few I’ve been watching, trying out while tinkering around with my acoustic guitars. Of course, one of those videos shares a few tips on smoothing out the neck, waxing the sound box/body for SG’s (solid guitars) and others are more posh, vintage guitar history. In the next few months, I’ll post more videos, stories regarding my investigation into guitar building, tips/tricks and whatever else I can find amusing.

N64 Kart
Whose Got Mario Kart 64?
Lab Work – N64 Games
WHOSE GOT MARIO KART
Top 5? May be Top 1 of 4 (We are including The Legend of Zelda in this list), what makes your list of favorite NES/N64 games? This may be in my Top 1 of 3 of all time…
I should preface this short by saying this, not a gamer by any stretch, but this was one of very few games throughout my life – early teen, teen years, late teen and pre/post college that was played in and around the dorms, apartments, homes etc, we played the most. Great +2 player game to play, most is 4 players, least 1. Like FZero, the slide/drift was in play, along with hazards, superpowers, items to threw and Mario hero-to-foe characters.
Takeaway, ‘Hey Nintendo, how about some more characters to play via N64 Mario Kart via Nintendo online?’ We specifically ask for Kart 64 additional characters. Someday, I’d like to see a mix of characters across the NES game world, similar to Mario ‘Super Smash Bros’ or Mario Kombat (rom – Super Mario and Mortal Kombat). The others mentioned here are from memory only – #N64 #SuperMarioWorld #Goldeneye007 #WaveRacer #FZero #StreetFighter #Tekken #MortalKombat #DonkeyKong64?
