This is a raytraced image of the Mandelbrot set and a four-dimensional Julibrot. The image was created in Fractint and POV-ray.

 
   

I have made a number of guitar effect pedals of varying success. The one pictured here takes a control voltage or line input and modulates the guitar input signal with a voltage controlled amplifier and filter. Others are simple overdrives and distortions as well as some envelope follower filters.

 
   

A while ago I made a simple electrocardiogram using a high gain instrument amplifier chip and some electrodes I acquired from a medical supplier. The image is taken from an oscilloscope displaying the signal from my own heart. I might use the circuitry later as a control mechanism for a robot.

 
   

My friend Tomo and I made this double scooter two years ago. We pretty much made the whole thing in two days. We took two scooter and cut the back wheel off one of them, then welded them together with some electrical conduit. It works considerably well, although we need to make some sort of shock system between the two scooters to lessen the strain when we go over quick changes of inclination.
