I almost forgot that I made the beginnings of a platformer. Only has a couple short levels and the running/jumping could use some refinement.

For a long time this Xbox would turn on randomly in the night, spooky. And for the past year we've used it on a switching power strip because the power button stopped turning the Xbox off. And now the Xbox wont turn on automatically when power is applied (like it was).
So I put a new power supply in it, which I figured was the root problem. And what do you know, the Xbox turns on again but the power button still doesn't work.
After some research apparently this is a common problem in original Xbox's, apparently the traces corrode. I guess Microsoft doesn't know how to make a console without problems. I've x-clamped and reflowed solder on more than my fair share of Xbox 360's.
So here's my fix:
And now it works, hooray.

made a little gameboy style holder for my phone

it uses thumbies (http://www.iwowcase.com/iphoneipod-thum ... -3499.html) capacative buttons.
it's 3d printed and is designed for use with nes and gameboy emulators
i don't have any photos of my phone in it as it is my camera.
however it does work decently enough.

Updated my platformer with a couple new levels, better feel for control (I think), and sound.

Over the past few weeks i have been collecting guitar pedals. They were in a disorganized mess of wires on my floor. I decided to make a pedalboard using only scrap material I had laying around.
IGNORE!
Top layer is elevated
Power supply is underneath. Its a 9v one I found laying around, wired in parallel to each pedal. No isolation on circuits, but I'm not getting any noise.
The ditto looper was a gift, but this pedalboard cost me less than $150 total including all pedals, cables, and materials.
The distortion and metal core are run in parallel, so It sounds like 2 playing at the same time.the order is
(In)>Distortion+metalcore>overdrive>danecho>looper>flanger>chorus>(out)
Here's the real kicker: I don't play guitar. I don't own a guitar. I play ukulele.
Bonus picture of my ukes
