Losing sleep...

when I become focused on something, I can attain amazing levels of obsession... too toften over things that in the grand scheme of things are not terribly important.

Right now I am completely consumed with modifying all sorts of electronics into :steam punk" versions. I've not DONE any conversions yet, but my mind is swimming with all sorts of possibilities, which has already led to taking apart a few things... (luckily they are things that, while not BROKEN, are things that were no longer useful to me)

my first project, and one that I have high hopes of success, will be a land line phone. I already have two old phones, one rotary and one touch tone, both of which work. if it weren't Christmas Day, I would be off to Goodwill looking for more whole pieces, and off to American Science & Surplus for the sundries...

Don't know what I will DO with the final products, as I will probably make several... but I have some time to worry about that
