This is the video from my Christmas Day ride.
2 1/2 hours of helmet camera footage edited down to 11 1/2 minutes.
Just another photo from my ride Christmas Day. I really quite like this one.
Went on a ride on Christmas Day. Down the 55 to PCH, then followed PCH south to Dana Point. Almost kept going south to San Clemente, but I decided to turn around.
Headed back north on PCH. Got to Bolsa Chica when I heard my helmet camera beep, telling me that it was out of space. I wanted to take a break so I tried stopping at the Bolsa Chica ecological reserve, but they wanted to charge $15 to park.
I headed back down to Huntington Beach because it’s free to park and took a break.
It was a good three hour ride by myself. I need to take trips like this more often.
I have about 8 GB worth of helmet camera footage. I’ll try to edit it and post later this week.
Crystal, Linda, and I at last night’s Ducks / Kings game. The Kings would go on to lose the game in the last minute, but it was still a good game.
I helped this guy out at the shop today. Turns out he’s an OC Sheriff’s deputy with the marine operations bureau.
He gave me an OCSD Marine Operations challenge coin for helping him out with his airsoft gun.
Pretty cool.
My boss gave this to me over the weekend. It’s Manny Pacquiao on a skate deck. Pretty rad. I need to pick up one of those skate deck hangers so I can display it in my room.

Video displaying the guts of my arcade cabinet and how it works.
This is the guts of the arcade cabinet I’m working on. This stuff will eventually be placed into a Sega New Astro City candy cab I bought off a friend of mine. Cool history note: the cabinet once belonged to the recently closed Arcade Infinity in Rowland Heights, CA.
Instead of just dropping a PC tower inside of the bay where the arcade boards would live, I’m going to mount the motherboard onto MDF to install into the cabinet as if it were an arcade board. It should provide for a clean installation, as well as be more aesthetically pleasing.
Finding a full-size ATX motherboard with the LGA775 chipset was difficult. There isn’t much left; they’ve all pretty much gone mini- or micro-ATX. I probably could have gotten away with a mini-ATX board, but call me old-fashioned. I’ve always used full-size ATX mainboards and I’m not about to change now.
Gigabyte P45T-ES3G motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad overclocked to 2.66 GHz
8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM
nVidia GT120 1GB (emulation doesn’t require high end video)
640 GB Hard Drive
Running Hyperspin (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com) as the front-end.
Will post more as work progresses.
Short clip of how fast my bike gets up to speed. I wasn’t even going wide-open throttle, but I go from 25 MPH to ~85 MPH in a couple seconds.
