My reasoning for wanting to start this blog is intangible. Laying in bed last night, I experienced what has to be the most mundane and interminable epiphany of my life. "Perhaps I should start my own blog in the interest of keeping track of the progress of some of my projects." Being gainfully unemployed was a strong point of inspiration to start this blog, I'd imagine.
I digress; since roughly the 18th of March I've taken it upon myself to fill the immeasurable void of joblessness with learning what I am steadfastly convinced is a worthwhile skill. I'm talking, of course, of making half-baked 3d sketches using popular design & drafting software, Solidworks.
Here's what a weekend of coffee, cigarettes, malnourishment and a $10 usb mouse has generated.

It took me longer than I am personally willing to admit to figure out how to arrange those images like that. Actually, I'm convinced it happened purely by accident; an accident I've grown to love much in the same way so many new parents have.
The potential for this blog to be interesting will grow exponentially* once I'm set up in my new garage in April.
