Current Cerebrations
Apple II Saturn Reborn
Recently got around to doing something that's been in the back of my head for decades. Read more about it here.

Goblin Amongst The Clouds
Beautiful day today, albeit slightly chilly for this time of year. The sky was very pretty. See the latest video on the Pico Goblin page.
Cheetah Painted
Finally got around to designing a nice...well, design, for the Cheetah. I thought it turned out quite well. I was originally going to airbrush it completely, but after the first layer of green shapes, I noticed that the paint was easily being pulled from the foam, meaning the next vinyl decal masks of the other colors would just completely pull them off. So instead I opted to just cut them out of vinyl as well with the Silhouette and stick them on.
Pico Goblin FPV Maiden
The weather has finally gotten nice enough to use the FPV goggles again, and with the sunlight quickly fading, I grabbed the Pico Goblin and set out to fly it first-person for the first time. See the latest video on the Pico Goblin page.
Scratch Built Tiny Whoop
For my second FPV drone, I wanted to try the smallest version possible so I could fly it indoors, as well as without much fear of crashing.The Tiny Whoop scratches that itch.
DIY Anemometer
This was a project I had started last year after getting into RC flying, but never got around to following it through. With the weather not being so great, I found some time to finally finish the project, and it turned out quite well.
Cheetah v2
The Cheetah RC conversion wasn't a complete success. I was having issues flying it, and I almost went mad trying to get to the bottom of the problem. Read about the v2 update here.
3D Drone Camera
Electronic cameras are getting smaller and cheaper, and being installed in just about everything you can think of. Pretty soon your ice cube tray will have one - for every cube.
Which means it's easier to put them on things like RC planes and quads, which I've already done. But then I had the bright idea: what if I had TWO cameras - I could make a 3D video! Behold my latest creation.

Finally got around to putting a GPS module on the 5 inch quad, and was able to see what kinds of speeds it was capable of. Check out the video 'Speed Test' on the First FPV Drone page.

Mari0 1.6 Rail Gun 1.2
I always felt Mario was missing something. And that something was...being able to fire off aluminum bolts at close to light speed. This is the first iteration of my mod; I have some other ideas I may or may not do as my time is limited. Haven't tested this on multiplayer, or every single cheat mode, or even very heavily at all, so caveat emptor.
Use the cheat by changing the MODE from 'portal' to 'railgun'. It uses coins as ammo. If you also turn on 'goomba attack', you get unlimited ammo as well as the firing rate being twice as fast. My previous 'bullet-time remap mod' is already incorporated in this mod. Turn the bullet-time cheat on as well to really make it feel and sound Matrix-li...Read More
Mari0 Bullet-Time Remap Mod
Here is a mod I made for Mari0 1.6. For some reason, bullet-time isn't allowed to be mapped to anything but the mousewheel. With this mod you can now map joystick buttons or keyboard keys. It works by going full bullet-time when a key is down, and stops when the key is released. Grab it here. You will need to install the latest unstable build of LOVE for this to work - Get the latest build for Windows here. Before running the mod tho, make sure you remove the current options.txt file, as it has settings that will not be read correctly with this new mod - find it on Windows 7/Vista in %AppData%\Roaming\LOVE\Mari0. (You can add the "gamefinished;" setting back in after running the mod and creating a new file if you want.)
