Looking for my blog? You can find it here. Sometime after I finish my bathroom project I will put up a new intro page to direct people in the correct location.

What's in my blog? No, not teen angst, dont' worry. I just thought it would be an easier way for me to update the type of information that I post here already, just without having to handcraft an HTML page every time. Plus, if you sign up for my RSS feed, you will get notices whenever I update something, so you'll know when to stop by.

Mostly I will be covering my bathroom conversion project, as I build my bathroom upstairs. I also hope to keep most of my current photos there. I even plan to cover some design and/or SolidWorks topics, to appease the SolidWorks bloggers.

I'm having second thoughts about going all-flash, but I'm not sure if I can pull off a half-flash site well. My temporary flash-based photo album works alright, and it is a lot more slick than anything that can be done in HTML, not to mention it's only 32kb. We'll have to see if I can pull it off. I'm going to be busy working on my new bathroom for upstairs, so maybe in a few months you'll see a nice flash photo gallery.

In the meantime, here are some things I did in Solidworks. For those who are unfamiliar, it is a 3D design program for mechanical engineers.

Happy Halloween.

I went backpacking to Isle Royale with Norm Strain, my dad, Mike McLaughlin, Lyle Williamson, and Tom McLaughlin (above). We went for a week, and yes, it was enjoyably cold.

Also, I have stopped putting low quality JPEG images up, so hopefully everyone has high-speed internet.
