For Halloween 2007, I created a Lego skull to display at the Palisades Center Lego Store Community Window that we of the New York Brick Artists (aka Sick Brick) control and display our creations in.
The skull is built completely with Lego, the LEDs behind trans black bricks and controlled by an Arduino stamp kit so the eyes glow in and out.
I finally put it online on Flickr, YouTube and Facebook to share with the world (and maybe enter a contest or two online).

RonFez.Net is going thru some upgrades tonight, as I’ve posted on the board. The site may have a little downtime as I upgrade the site, but hopefully it will be short.
The changes are primarily to 3 sections:
- The blogs are getting some bug fix upgrades, nothing major.
- The Gallery is getting an upgrade as well, but since this is the least of the three tonight, it’s the last one I’ll do and possibly not tonight.
- The message board is going through some upgrades and additions to core functionality. This is the part that will require some downtime, since the pages will be changing, it’s tough to allow people to use them and to make changes to them. The chat room will be opened access and will not require a login while the site is down.
Hopefully the changes will be quick and painless, since I’ll be doing them and watching Dexter season 2. Any big updates will be posted here. Incremental updates will be found on my twitter feed.

So I started this blog with the intention of talking about different projects I was working on and whatnot, but then something happened that I couldn’t talk about until today…
About a month ago, I was bored after I got home from kung-fu class and bounced around online, and one of the sites I hit was craigslist, and I found an ad for a “Senior Developer/Potential CTO.” I sent out a resume, the only one in a very long time, and had a phone interview with them the next day. I arranged to consult with them for a week, and towards the end, they made me an offer that was too good to refuse.
So today, I tendered my resignation, gave two weeks notice at my current employer and am preparing to work in New York City again at an internet startup style company. I miss working in the city, and although I can’t beat my current commute, it’ll be good to work in such a vibrant environment again
Not bad for just sending out one resume on a lark.

So I was talking to Beth yesterday and she did not know what Rick Rolling was until dinner the night before, when Danielle told her about it. Since they were in person, and not online, there was no actual Rick Rolling, just discussion of said Rick Rolling. Beth tells me this and I figure if no one Rick Rolls her by the weekend, I’d get her when she wasn’t expecting it…
So last night, she is reading sites with Dino online and he IMs her what appears to be a link to this very website. Of course, she clicks it and it brings her to a YouTube video of Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up. Good job, Dino!
So in honor of Dino’s Rick Rolling of Beth via this site, I wanted to put a couple links to my favorite Rick Roll videos from April 1 of this year.
The Tiki Bar Rick Roll - featuring Lala and Doctor Tiki
The Muppet Rick Roll - featuring Beaker, Rolf and the Electric Mayhem
Feel free to post your favorite Rick Rolls in the comments.

Seems visitors can’t leave comments on that first little blog. I wonder why not. That’s the problem with a turnkey solution vs. a custom made one. I need to learn the ins and outs of a piece of software, rather than building it from the bottom up and editing it to my whims. Alas and alack, I’ll figure it all out eventually…

Ok, so I caved to pressure and relaunched a brand spankin’ new personal website. It’s a bit of a work in progress right now, as I’m still filtering thru themes and I’ll look for some plug-ins and whatnot, but I now have a place to plot and discuss online projects and maybe some other things I want to put online.
I don’t really want to invest the time in writing a custom blog software again (I spent the time years ago, now I just want to get on with the other stuff with the site), but with all the different social networks and whatnot, it’s good to have a central location to tie it all together. Myspace, Facebook, RonFez.Net, Twitter, etc. So many different points on the intarweb, good to have a point connecting them all.
