Keyboard Wallet

Ta dah!

This project was largely inspired by this. I modified their design to suit Canadian $$ a bit better, plus I added more card-holders.

I took apart two old keyboards; I found this process oddly satisfying.

This was the target material:

I found that using a paper cutter was far easier than the exactos that were suggested.


It's holding up well, just added a little more packing tape today. Cheers!

Some of my current favourite songs are from this list. Cheers everyone!

icky thump

Alright, I haven't listened to the new White Stripes album yet, but, news:
they're selling the album on specialized USB Flash Drives - Apple lossless format files all on the drive, pop 'em into your computer, and you're set. That's pretty cool.

Updates, plus the Engineering Cycle

I made the sweet wallet that I talked about a while ago. I also have pictures; however, they are currently stuck in a digital camera (not mine. Mine is dead). So hopefully I will get some pic-a-tures up soon.

I now have all of the songs that will be present in my mixtape experiment. This experiment is currently in the testing stage. Y'know, because I'm following the engineering cycle and all:
1. Understand the Problem
-Robyn needs some new music.
2. Design/Plan
-Robyn asks everyone for music.
3. Build a Prototype
-Robyn forgets a step
-Actually, Robyn listens to the songs, and puts them in an order with minimal connectedness
4. Test
-Robyn listens to the songs and tries to create some smooth transitions
If there are still problems at step 4, Robyn goes back to step 1 to understand the new problem.

Once the problem is solved, Robyn shares.


In conclusion: Robyn should be an engineer.

Robyn also promises to stop blogging in the third person. Unless she really wants to.

ohmygoodness.

Everday by the Field.

Holy shiznat. J'aime.

Note to self (and you can take note, too):

(I was supposed to write this after I ate breakfast today, but didn't get to it).


STOP buying and consuming Tim Horton's breakfast sandwiches. Bleh.
