charger wire repair complete!

ah, its been a long time since i've used my tool box, and oh boy its still messy as it ever was!


as to fixing the broken laptop charger's tip, i used:
a new surprisingly cheap yet efficient solder gun, my moms old trustee glue gun, a cutter,


and obviously a solder wire.
oh, and duct tape and some metal.

before the fix is the broken charger tip:


to start fixing the broken modded charger, i had to take off the hardened glue by firstly chopping it to bits, carefully so as to not the working wires, then after most of it was cut off, i used my glue gun and melted the rest off. this process took roughly about 6 hours. thankfully that day i had no hw.

the next day after school, i de-soldered the loose/broken wire which took 2 hours or less so as to avoid more conflicting wire problems. then i grabbed a new better wire and soldered on the new wire to the charger which is a very VERY tough task to do without a holding device.

after connecting the wire, dangerously might i add as the charger was still uncovered in the air, i grabbed the glue gun and covered the working charger in glue that i had chopped off before in thinner amounts than previously used.



with a working covered charger, i then took parts of an old broken laptop charger's brick metal casing and used those parts to cover the glued parts of the charger, thus giving the charger a more tougher structure as bending the tip of the charger may have been the cause of the loose/broken wire in the charger. user error.



then to put a worrying mind to rest, i layered the glue covered metal topped charger tip with layers of tight duct tape, possibly hopefully decreasing the chances of the tip bending by accident.

and with all that done, i have fixed my laptops' chargers' tip! and proudly name it charger 2.0!

old VS new

some pics to prove it works fabulously! >:D



next thing to repair if i aint lazy, my lil sis butterfly laptop fan.

creativity is a designers food......OM NOM NOM!

i am amazed, no, i'm BLOWN away by peoples creativity! i found these awesome websites that show awesome designs by awesomely creative people.

heres some images from thechieve.com:
dont pretend that youre not impressed!




this is just some of the pics present there.
when i get/design my house, im totally installing a hidden room for myself.

and here are more designs that impress me even more
from thedesignblog.org (a pretty cool website) that my D&T teacher suggested checking:


and heres some gundam(giant japanese humanoid shaped robots piloted by humans for non-gundam fans) designs by the awesomest coolest wickedest smartest most creative Gundam designer, Hajime Katoki-san.


the above image is one model i hope to build soon......if i have the money.....


and more sexy designs from Katoki-san.

and one last pic of the coolest motor bike design i've ever seen and wish to own:
the MP3 Piaggio scooter


and a quote from Hajime Katoki from his art book that increases my passion to be a designer:

"Do people, like myself, spend time imagining what it would be like if Gundam robots were actually present on the streets of our cities? Are you sure you're not limiting yourself to the images that were offered in the animated series? One of the reasons that I fell in love with Gundam was that it excites me to imagine what it would be like if these machines actually existed, and I worry that other fans may be losing out..."

o'level D n T artefact

this is my project which i hope gets me an A for D n T 2010.

its a castle like design with an orange clock tower in the black castle fort thingy but also a hidden secret with in the the castle itself.......a HIDDEN money box.



a free formed snippet of my castle clock tower, with some parts removed cause it looked a bit.....gay you could say?



heres me with my creation



the hidden secret unbeknown unfindable invisible not naked to the eye MONEY BOX.



the orange clock tower,nuff said.

a new year and a new blog?

2k11, a year after 2010 that feels the same.....huh.

anyways, this blog even if infamous or not, will be filled with creative crap ive made and some ramblings from me bout stuff.

and to start this new blog concept, heres a home made Daft Punk Thomas helmet i made for my cuzin,E1, who wore it to last years New Years Eve Day(s?).





my cuzin kept rambling that this usually took roughly 3 weeks to make following the instructions but for me, who is feeling so smug bout this creation of mine, has made it in an impressive 2.5 days! ah,this lil crappy home made designed helmet is what actually drove me to change this whole blog thingy!!!!!! hurrah!

oh and heres me in my favourite get up, Heath Ledgers infamous portrayal of Joker.
this might sound insane but The Joker was absolutely awesome and hilarious!
