I found a shop that sells replacement screens for my tablet. It kinda sucks because I already ordered a new tablet... They didn't sell those screens yet back when I ordered it. I think I'm gonna try to replace the screen and then sell the tablet for half the newprice.

My friend gave me a netbook that was practically new, except for the screen had cracked, and he dubbed it "broken". He gave it to me for free, I bought a new $40 LED screen, plugged it in, and it works like a charm. Still use it! My shipment of RAM I ordered for it just came, actually. They also have a $99 touch screen kit you can get and install yourself, so I may do that.

So you can poke your finger right into the screen causing it to crack again, HA!

Well looks like I'm going to be up all night soldering.

[< Maxlaam >]

What you craftin'?

A led sign that says "VOLT" for my coaster.

[< Maxlaam >]

I just keep wondering though, so many people are like:"I want a LED sign!!" But I don't see the point in doing it for a "regular" model. I make them because they add to the ride as they go on display for multiple days and usually multiple times. I wouldn't do it for 1 time deals. It just seems a bit expensive to keep making them for every model. Not to you Snake, as electronics are a hobby of yours. But there are numerous example of people shouting out that they want one. Not that it actually happened (yet).

^^ They do look awesome, though.

Because it's FUN to do!
Max, you are saying that you are only making them because it's practical?

Anything but practical, lol. You get bored after you've done 1 or 2. Hell I'm not even amazed of the Super Mouse sign any more. It adds to the model, but they more fancy they get, the more expensive. Not something I would do on every model.

What do you do?

I'm a machinery specialist at a historical village by my house. I fix and maintain anything mechanical, so basically I spend a lot of time greasing and oiling old machinery.

That actually sounds like a fairly awesome job.

There is a guy I work with who is also a substitute teacher.
We had talked about math and physics and I told him about my knex hobby, he said he was interested, so I told him about the youtube videos. I gave him the Euphoria video and the SSC Best of 2011 video, and he said he'd check them out. Yay!

EDIT: I can't believe I've never done this before....
I spent some time wandering around in the construction forum.
Seeing some of my favorite builders' failed rides along the way.
Arrogant posts are, apparently, nothing new. Lol.
An Expedition GeForce/Mega Lite crossover sticks out in my mind.
And I had no idea VV building went waaay back.
Makes me feel... what's the word... privilaged?
And I'm only in early 2009. I'm gonna have to do this again sometime.

I saw Wicked tonight, it was absolutely amazing! It was a graduation present from my girlfriend's mom. The seats were awesome. I highly recommend it, I got goose bumps several times and the story line is fantastic.

So how was the BJ afterwards?

Nearly broke my wrist, and I have two tennis matches today that decide if our team goes on to regionals. Feeling better, though. I think I can play both. Wish me luck!

Haha, well we did delay in the parking lot a little bit, but nothing that explicit

[Old_Hag]

Apparently I can go to Hersheypark and Canadas Wonderland this summer.

Fuck. Yes.

[< Spitfire >]

I had a dream last night that they painted Millennium Force orange.

[< Maxlaam >]

Went to 2 little themeparks today with Themepark.nl We got a tour at Billy Bird park from the owner. He wants the park to be eco friendly so the station of their only coaster is actually after the lift hill and you get out before the lifthill, it means that the motors have to work less. Anyway, he went up the stairs with us for the tour and I took a seat in the coach. He had to go down too, but the quickest way down is by taking the roller-coaster though so I rode the coaster with the park owner, lol!

[TheSUCKCrew]

Hemelrijk huh? I've actually been there a couple of times. They didn't have a rollercoaster back then though.
