So one of the things I decided to do in 2011 was try and do some of the things that I have been putting off for so long saying “yeah I will get around to it”. Obviously keeping up with the site is one of them. But I had also planned a couple of other proejcts. One of them was a 24″ Digital Photo Frame. I had an old Dell 24 Inch Monitor lying around doing nothing. Then Work ended up dishing out some Old pcs for free that were “take it or leave it” situation. If it didn’t work, it didn’t work. Well my ultimate goal was to turn this into a decent looking digital photo frame. Why put up with a tiny little thing for the living room when I can have this awesome, decent sized hi def screen.

So another thing happened. For christmas my good friend Alisha gave me something to help me stay on track, each day. She gave me the words Inspire in big letters (wooden) that you can mount on the wall. But they wouldn’t sit up on the shelf. So back to the drawing board. Well, I looked at a way to get it on the wall and then thought, well now why don’t i do some “construction” and see what happens.

Well i spent Saturday morning, working in the Garage putting together the letters using some cheap stuff I picked up from Bunnings (with a bit of Dad’s advice) but it turned out pretty well. It’s still sitting on my wall in my room (as u can see below from pics it looks pretty good). Then the same day I started working on the Photo Frame. I’ve named this the “Reflect” Project thanks to a suggestion by an old friend.

So I spent Saturday and Monday rebuilding the old Dell PC for reflect. Started from a scratch install and it took forever (they weren’t exactly speedy). But hey, it was free, I am not going to complain. Now the next step is building the frame of the shell and then moving onto putting the final touches on it. So more updates to come.

Other projects, well there is the usual RNA photo comps but other than that, i am open to more ideas!
