Happ Vision Pro 19″ Monitors – $130-$135 Sale

I heard this on the forums and decided to check into it for my Pengo at the local HAPP rep by my work. Well, as of June 30th, they shut down that location. Crap….

So I did get contact information for the sales rep who is now based out of their house in Greenfield. She said the sale is until the end of Sept. 30, ’07 and they are $135 a piece, or $130 if you buy four. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Shipping she estimated at around …

How do I use Photoshop to make someone look less fat?

How do you slim someone down in Photoshop you ask?
This was a challenge that was posed to me the other day, and I wasn’t sure of the answer myself. I hadn’t ever tried to take a photo of someone with clothes on, in a group of other people, and make them look a little less fat. The camera adds 10 lbs and all that rot.

Well, I did some searching. Tutorials in Photoshop on “slim”, “fat”, and “weight”. I found a tutorial that spoke about making someone …

Space Invaders Boards in the mail

I dread sending large boxes in the mail, many-fold.

• First, I have to find the time during working hours to get over there.
• Second, a lot of times it is crowded when you make it just before the end of the day, so you have to wait forever.

One Savior, a bunch of Pirates and a guy going to war

That was our day:)

We got up and walked the dog before church. We went to late service, which made things super fun because we were going to have Lori over for breakfast. Sarah had blueberries, so we were going to have pancakes with bacon. I am sure everything tasted good as we wolfed it down, trying to make it to a 1:00 showing of Pirates of the Carribean – At World’s End (Finally at the cheap theaters).

The movie was pretty fantastically executed and had some stunning imagery. But, I didn’t …

Worked on Ms. Pac-man separations

Got through miscellaneous pieces of the seps. I started on the large ghost, I worked on the middle ghost at the bottom, and I also worked on the little Ms. Pac at the top. I also deleted some of the extra layers and separates out the easy patterns.

Space Invaders Boards Out

Have to figure if Alex Yeckley at Elektronforge needs the angled pcb supports or not, but the Space Invaders Deluxe game boards and the power supply are one step closer to being in the mail to be tested together and hopefully finally fixed for good.

Removed Diodes from G07

Figured out during the day today what I need to replace them, and the part number.

Will call or stop at Meunier tomorrow hopefully to see if they have replacements, along with the fuse. I did notice that the diodes symbol points different directions on the bottom of the chassis. You can tell how much I know. That is good that I noticed that, so they are directional. But the D401-404 are all the same so that makes it easy.
