Work has been getting really interesting lately. Interesting and hectic. For those of you interested in where my project is located, check out this neat thing I figured out how to use:

Also, I got started on my clock project (I hope it turns out this well). Using that scroll saw is both fun and a little frightening. It's very quiet (relative to any other power tool), so I'm not afraid of disturbing the neighbors. But man, watching it tear through plywood just gives me visions of it tearing through my fingers. Some of the mechanical parts are kinda small, so I'm taking my time to cut them slowly and keep the fingers away..... I took a cool picture but my camera suddenly forgot how to talk to my computer. So maybe I'll post that later.

In other news: I just finished reading The Fountainhead. The book as a whole is good (not great), except for the last 5 chapters, which are mind-blowingly good. Aspiring Engineers: if you want a great read, just plow through the last tenth of this (!700 page!) book. It provides a neat summary of her interesting philosophy.
