Latest from Applied Engineering

Hey guys! Just wanted to give y’all an update on my projects with Applied Engineering & Design. After finally getting the ball rolling and figuring out what kind of videos and projects I wanted to work on, I’ve been able to start preparing for getting them done. Originally, I had “started” Applied Eng. to do […]

Introducing Applied Engineering & Design

I’ve created a pseudo-business-identity underneath Erica’s company, Technotic Media, called Applied Engineering & Design. I am using it to create some great HOWTO videos on YouTube for various products like Rhino3D and RhinoCAM, as well as using it for some contract work on CAD/CAM design. Additionally, I’ll be doing videos and articles on 3D Printing, […]

Solidworks Pumpkin

Hey Readers! Check out this pumpkin I made for the Solidworks Education contest. I modeled the pumpkin first using sweeps and mirrors, then cut the liberty logo through it. Lastly, I added some point lights inside the pumpkin before exporting through PhotoView! Click this link and like the photo on Facebook to help me win! […]

Sweet. MBP. 8GB RAM.

Recently decided to purchase some RAM upgrades for my laptop. It’s not that it wasn’t that fast with 4GB, but when using a 2GB RAM windows 7 VM (VMware Fusion), things started to slow down. I still need to use windows in a VM for software applications like QuickBooks, and to access the KVM switch […]

Saving state with the jQuery Accordion Menu

I have been working on the new True Negative website pretty much non-stop lately and I’m using several differernt things from the jQuery JavaScript library. One of these is the jQuery Accordion Menu, from their User Interface library. It’s a great simple menu that can be implemented with very little javascript code. One thing that […]

Photoshop World 2009

Last week, my intern, Jordan, and I went to Boston for Photoshop World 2009. Having never been to one of these conventions I was a little uncertain about what to expect. With that said, I had a great time at the show! I learned a great deal and was able to polish up some of […]

update to windows 7 benchmarks

Well this is quite odd… after overclocking, the windows experience rating actually went DOWN. Another weird thing was that cinebench stopped being able to work… I removed all of the partitions, and I’m doing a clean install of Windows 7 to see if that fixes the issue. There is no reason why I should be […]

Allstar Graphics Website Launch

Finally finished the Allstar Graphics site and launched it yesterday. It incorporates PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, AJAX, Flash, and more. I designed it to be optimized for search engines as well as user friendly. There are some more things I need to update on there, but I think it came out great! Check it out at […]

No news is good news?

Well, I haven’t updated much on here because I’ve been busy working, and taking care of personal things. With my wife being pregnant, we’ve had to do so much around here to get ready for it, which takes up a lot of my personal time. I’ve had a lot of work come in lately for […]

New Flashlight!

So I’ve been wondering for a while what the clips on the back part of my truck’s headliner were for. Someone mentioned to me that it was for a flashlight, but I had trouble finding a flashlight that was large enough. Finally I came across a 6 D-cell Maglite Flashlight. The flash light is definitely […]
