Hello World. It’s been almost 8 months since my last post and amazingly, I still have visitors. “Welcome!” to anyone that happens to stumble across this page in hopes of finding something cool.
So what have I been doing the last 8 months? Nothing of interest to you, unfortunately. I have however started quite a few other sites with varying degrees of success (read: none). I have lost 40 lbs. I am training to run a 10K street race. I have started a new job with a fancy title: Computer Engineer III. I got a dog. I turned 25. I had my first glass of wine. And I have more project ideas rolling around in my head than I know what to do with.
Welcome back, me.
Lately, all of my free time seems to be going to my growing amount of web “investments”. I still love electronics and hardware hacking and all such experiments in geekery, but this blog has simply propelled me into other areas of interest as well. Through all my great experiences with Zerosign.net over the past year, I have really learned alot about web development and what it takes to make a successful (and profitable) website. I would really like to keep posting about all of my technological endeavors, but if I am really going to be honest, most of these projects are going to be about my web based projects. Actually, I am still developing some hardware hacks and circuitry projects that I’ll be discussing soon, but if Zerosign is to stay alive through these upcoming months, it will have to be sustained by the tablescraps of tech development that I learn through the process of achieving my ultimate goal: to be making full-time money from a combination of profitable web sites. Hopefully, this journey of risks and successes (and no doubt, mistakes) well make a welcome addition to the usual fare of Zerosign geekery. Don’t unsubscribe from that RSS feed just yet! Hopefully, you’ll like what you’ll see.
Inspired by the recent comments of Sen. Ted Stephens and the love of retro gaming, this shirt represents my contribution to the latest tech meme.
Currently I am taking pre-orders to gauge if there is any interest in owning this limited edition piece of internet geekery and, if so, to see how many to make. If interested, please feel free to order below.

The sixth volume of Make Magazine will be hitting the newstands later this month and everyone should definitely check it out. Why? Well not only is it THE best magazine for makers and modders in the DIY community, but it also will feature a spinoff of an original Zerosign project. Longtime Zerosign readers may remember a little project I made known as the Rumble Mouse. Those same readers may also remember that a good friend of mine made his own version of the project using my design and put it up at his site, DIYLive.net. Well, his version of the mouse has been chosen to appear in this issue of the magazine! Not only is this a great bit of encouragement to both DIYLive and Zerosign it is also an honor to have a derivative of a project of mine showcased in a national publication as respected as Make.
“MAKE 06 is shipping, lots of robot projects, it’s my favorite MAKE so far! - In this volume build a pair of electronic insects, BEAM robotics, VEX robotics, make a soccer playing robot, T-Shirt laptop pouch, make LED throwies, 3D photos, MAKE controller, RFID for Makers, make a rumble mouse, read Xerox codes, rodent-powered nightlights, floating tower structure - Bug suckers… and more!”
