Knitting Present

Now that I’ve cleared my knitting past, I can post something a bit more up to date. True, these projects aren’t exactly today, but they’re recent enough for me.
Knitting Past
Posted by Nanc
Looking back, there have been some significant knits that, although completed and enjoyed by their recipients, I never blogged. These projects were all knit in 2007, most in the later part of the year, ta’ boot. But still, that’s no excuse.
(Long and picture heavy post.)
Back from Minnesota

We just got back from a long weekend visiting with Rachel, Jason, Ben, and Sam of welikedogs fame. We had lots of fun. We played with Sam, who is wee tiny and super-cute. Ben was also fun, and is a super-awesome big boy. We ate ridiculously well. We played video games.
Revitalizing Roomba
Posted by Matty
As our Roomba started getting older, we noticed that he didn’t have the same pep. He would peter out after vacuuming for 30 minutes or so, and he wasn’t doing the best job, either.
I checked my manuals, and tried reconditioning the battery, but to no avail. There was no way around it. Roomba needed a new battery.
I could have just bought a new battery from irobot.com, but where’s the fun in that? How could I turn that into an article?
Hee hee – He said “duty”

This morning, I went to uphold my civic duty and serve on a jury. This afternoon, most of us were sent home. Huh.
“An elegant weapon for a more civilized age”

I recently finished wiring and putting together our den/theater room, and was stumped on how to decorate it. I came up with an idea, which Nanc readily agreed to. (Remember that did you agreed to this, Nancy.)
I thought that it would be fun to decorate the room with props from some of our favorite movies and TV shows. After doing a little more research, I realized that the stuff that I really wanted was just a tad out of my price range.
Being the resourceful guy that I am, I decided to build some of the pieces myself. It’s fun, and keeps me from doing anything useful. My first piece is finished. Pics and details inside.
