I love building things and I have an insatiable curiosity for finding out how things are made. For instance I think most people do not have any idea what hydroforming or broaching is let alone how they work. If you want to see videos of manufacturing processes and a few virtual factory tours I recommend you visit manufacturing.stanford.edu and check out their “How Everyday Things are Made” section and watch a video about how jelly beans are made or how Boeing assembles a 777.
I am in the middle of building a new computer and sifting through my old computer parts trying to decide what is useful and what has outlived it’s usefulness. I am hoping that I will have enough spare parts that I can build a Mythtv box to try to hook up to my television and experiment with. If you don’t see any new postings for a while it means that I didn’t fare so well in this project.
