14 Mar 2011- Mini-update

Been ultra-busy lately.

Here’s an incomplete summary of all I’m doing:

• Working on an experimental “carbon fiber” motherboard tray PC mod.  It’s actually not what it sounds like, i.e., it’s not as if I’m building a motherboard tray made out of carbon fiber.  Actually, it’s nothing more than applying a vinyl sheet that looks incredibly like a sheet of carbon fiber to a motherboard tray.  I love the look of CF, so I’m studying application techniques right now to see how feasible it is to make this a signature feature on my custom PC builds.
• My “V” fanfiction novella “Echoes” is now well into chapter twelve.  (I’m considering starting a new blog, purely for posting fiction/fanfiction, actually.  I’ll plug it, for sure, if I go through with that plan.) 
• On the weekends I’ve been helping taking care of my nephews and hanging out with my sisters.  Family time is essential, so weekends are incredibly valuable to me.
• I’m continuing my studies in football.  Right now I’m focused on “bunch” sets, formations, and play packages, as well as 4-3 defense philosophies.  Very fascinating.  I have to admit, though, that my brain seems heavily biased towards understanding offensive principles much more readily.  I’m struggling understanding defenses.
• My sports blog has seen a small yet very pleasing jump in hits and readership.  I’m grateful to whomever visits and reads my thoughts on sports, though I keep hoping that people leave comments and thoughts on it (and on this blog as well).
• I’m also currently amassing (old) PC parts to build two systems for family in the Philippines.

I’ve got other projects, but these are the ones that come to mind most readily.  As you can see, I’ve got quite a full plate.

No complaints, though.
