What did you make in 2012?

- An electronic hoonja-doonja for work
- A soft sci-fi YA manuscript, probably going to put it in a drawer sans title page and pretend it came with the apartment if anyone happens on it.

I like electronic hoonja-doonjas. please tell me more. I made a photonic integrated circuit in our lab for work

it was kind of lame, though, because it had no lasers on it

This was a pretty simple Bluetooth device. I didn't do the engineering but participated in the design and it's going to manufacturing, so I learned a lot there. PICs are rad!

a baby. huge quantities of beer. a beatles cover. an electronic track which was supposed to be the theme song for a friend's podcast. a small hill covered with mint (thenceforth called 'mint hill'). three woodpiles. a hop garden. a necklace for my wife. banana chocolate chip walnut pancakes.

that's a good year. you brew all types or specialize?

all types, pretty much.

about 500 gallons at a time.

- a flash game where you have guide rick santorum through a field of man/man and woman/woman symbols without touching them, soundtracked by the vengaboys "we like to party"

- an giant panel with a projected image of the golden girls cast with that spills out vhs tape whenever the show is on the air in my zip code (still in progress)

- a video with 54 2 minute looping clips from the 1987 and 1988 crystal light aerobics championship, hosted by alan thicke

- some sort of formed metal whale / biplane looking thing

- a hollowed out log

- a lot of different foods

- sweet love
- turkey tortilla pie
- GAYDAD in scrabble

- myself, crazy
- out like a bandit
- some really cool photo ornaments for my family for christmas
- nothing of note

- a game

- a single-speed bike from a 12-speed bike (put on new wheel, shortened chain, removed derailleurs, adjusted brakes, etc)
- horchata
- an organized an unpacked bedroom (first time in like 5 yrs)

canned and dried fruit & veggies from our backyard

a guest bedroom (cleaned, painted, furnished)

a grape arbor (the old one fell down)

my first cocktails

a succession of messes

I want to know more about this YA sci-fi manuscript, is it the beginning of a vast series of interconnected novels and stories that manage to shed light into every facet of 25C life and manners?

the same pasta salad recipe six times

i made (acted in, that's making, sort of) a play and people came to see it

I made a short album as a birthday present, which was fun to do and I learnt a lot, but sadly didn't make for a very popular gift

progress

30k, miserably. a move to the city, lots of p good dinners.

I made the realisation this morning on reading this thread that I didn't make anything all year. Then I made myself unhappy with this realisation.

Ho hum.

Sorry your album was not a popular gift, Ismael. If someone did that for me I would be totally in awe and yet terrified to listen to it in case I didn't like it. I always find it weird listening to the music of people I know, especially if I met them in a totally non-musical context and they didn't say "hi, I make music" within the first five minutes of conversation.

my brother gave me an album three years ago, i'm afraid to listen to it for that reason

a paper aeroplane for my little cousin....possibly more than one paper aeroplane

aiden mcgeady beef with darraghmac

coffee, a few times

it's not a particularly lengthy list

- many, many mistakes
- some good decisions, too, mind you

- I made the decision to retire and now I am retired (at least until the system breaks so badly I must unretire to survive).

- more good meals than I could count
- pies
- whoopee

since

- vanillekipferl

- a 7" record
- most of a Beatles cover

a record

Plans. Award-winning cream cheese brownies. A lot of fig-studded pound cake for people's birthdays.

on further reflection, I made some banana bread and a Lego T-Rex. it's not quite the groundbreaking techno album, SF novel and string of 2d platform games that teenage spacecadet probably thought I should be cranking out every year past 21, but it's a start

- 223 gifs
- a piece of code that lets you use a slider to control the framerate of a gif
- a few really stupid youtubes

a pop video
a new club night in glasgow
various improvements to (other) people's houses.

- a knitted elephant
- some fingerless gloves so I can pretend to be Glenn Gould in the only way possible
- whole buncha soups
- deal w/the devil (dental insurance) to get some corpse bone put in my jaw on Dec. 21 –– THAT is how to usher in the end times

- A worm composting setup
- A hell of a lot of visceral fat thanks to bad lifestyle choices
- A bad decision not to get my wife on a Medigap policy before the deadline, though it wouldn't have helped the current situation.
