I've learned a lot in thirty years. I've learned who I am, what matters to me, and how to survive in a world where assimilation is the norm. Breaking those boundaries took guts. And even though they were removed during surgery in 2001, I still got 'em. I spent my days playing the drums, meddling with web design, and restoring a 1986 Porsche 944.

Skins & Rhythms - Throughout history, the drums have been the cornerstone of Rock n Roll. From Ringo Starr to Stevie Wonder and Marie Carpenter, nothing thrills me more than a good solo with the sticks.

1986 Porsche 944 Restoration - Called the Poor Man's Porsche,the 944 has only four cyliners, puts out 150HP, and is now a classic automobile. I have attemped to bring this once-beaten vehicle back to life as a daily driver. From the engine to the interior, the story has been a long and hard one.

New High Score at 7:49 pm

I took home a new high score today hitting multiple Super Jackpots and Orbits on their respective multiballs. Woo! Take that Zegema Beach!

Had to do some editing to remove the refresh error on the LCD panel. My new camera's shutter speed is fast enough to pick up half-drawn frames on the LCD.

Pop Bumper Fixed and Other Issues at 11:02 pm

I've been fooling with the game a little bit to determine what's in working order and what is not. The third pop bumper was non-functional. Thanks to PinballLife.com, it's back up and working!

I'm a Pinball Wizard at 9:55 pm

I've always wanted one. My uncle had one. They grabbed my attention more than the arcade machines in the pizzerias. Galaga and Zaxxon stood idle while I put my quarters into something a lot more fun. It's been my dream to own one. I found a cheap one on eBay in completely working order (minus a few small items) and had to get it while they were still available. Their era has passed but the fun never stops!
