Power Up!

I stayed up way too late last night, but it was totally worth it.

Plus the new living room set up, just before we did our decorating. Will update with more pictures when we finish the other wall.

 

Slide Rules and Power Ups

So, in the mail today, I received my ticket for admission to the PE exam. There was a long, detailed list of things that are and are not allowed in the testing room. Highlights of the contraband list: slide rules, hoodies, pencils, and friends/relatives. I don’t even know what to say.

In other news, I finished making a Power Up Mushroom pouch for my laptop mouse. The USB key attaches conveniently to the bottom of the mouse and the mouse is cleverly designed to turn on when the key is removed. This, of course, caused problems when I would just throw the mouse into my bag and wear down the battery inadvertently. Clearly, I needed to make something to protect my mouse:

It took about 6 hours to figure out the dimensions for the pattern (I use the word “pattern” very loosely) and to put it all together. I think actual construction time was about one day of commuting — 1.5 hr round trip.
