Self description:
I'm a programmer of (hopefully) entertaining things by day, but sometimes I get the itch to make stuff with my hands. tsmaster's creations   | Created by tsmaster 22 weeks ago"When I was a kid, they had small type interposed into the name of the cereal, so the full name of this project might more correctly be "FROOT flavored CAKE". I'm not sure why they had to double up on making sure you knew that the cereal contained no real fruit - perhaps the quantity of froot wasn't..." |
 | Created by tsmaster 24 weeks ago"Taking inspiration from a popular domestic television show, I wanted to have a picture of a boat over my couch. In fact, I wanted to have the same picture, to some degree.

 | Created by tsmaster 25 weeks ago"I was mucking about with cWiiRemote (version 0.2, but it looks like the project is now maintained http://www.ecando.it/faceplate.html# here), putting a SWIG wrapper around the library, so I could do Python prototyping of games using the Wii controllers.

One of the toys in my bag was a plastic burr puzzle - the sort of puzzle where you pull out one piece, and all the other pieces fall apart in..." |
 | Created by tsmaster 25 weeks ago"Inspired by the other discussions around here about cool bleached shirts, I ran out to my nearby Ben Franklin's, which has t-shirts in a small selection of colors. Today, the options were orange, black, red, and blue - I suspect orange might get swapped out as it becomes less seasonal.
I cut out..." |
 | Created by tsmaster 25 weeks ago"Inspired by "The Office", a buddy and I decided to embed things from our boss' desk in Jell-o. I put a gamepad in orange Jell-O. My buddy was going to try a chess set, but that turned out..." |
 | Created by tsmaster 25 weeks ago"I was thinking about 3d printing and how neat it is, but was lamenting how the price needs to come down some before I could screw around with it. Like Bathsheba Grossman said: "Think of 3D printing as the last resort when you've dreamed up something that is flat-out impossible to make by..." |
