My Favorite Christmas Specials

Aaron Eiche — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 03:14:17 +0000

I love Christmas. I love it. I wouldn’t pin it on the notion of getting a bunch of free stuff though. That is exciting, but the season and the build up are far better than whatever loot I come out with on the 25th. It’s the whole season. Decorations, lights, music, special candy… and Television Christmas Specials. [...]

School

Aaron Eiche — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:21:47 +0000

Even though this blog is at AaronEiche.com, I tend not to make it very personal. It’s mostly because I don’t really want to expose most of my personal life to the slings and arrows of the internet. However I made a decision a while back to return to school, and it’s gotten me thinking about [...]

Yup, I made a podcast: http://aaroneiche.com/podcasts/AE-podcast-1.m4a Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I’m a bit of a performer and after listening to podcasts for years now, I’ve finally broken down and made one. This isn’t my first attempt to make a podcast, but it’s my first successful attempt. So give it a [...]

Well now what? (My new laptop)

Aaron Eiche — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:27:42 +0000

We have a handful of computers in our house. My Desktop, my wife’s Desktop, our media/backup server, and a netbook. The netbook’s job was relatively simple. It lived in the back room of our house hooked up to a couple of things: Our rarely-used printer/scanner, and my MakerBot 3D printer. Over the past few months [...]

Back on the 3D-Printed Horse

Aaron Eiche — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:08:47 +0000

Several months ago, I finally got my hands on a mostly-working 3d printer. A maker bot. After irritated months of tinkering, I had trouble getting it to print out things that I wanted it to, and I gave up. Well, I took it somewhere, and when I got back I just never got it back [...]

Blurring the Lines in Digital Content Shifting

Aaron Eiche — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 22:41:26 +0000

I ran into a dilemma today that I never expected to run into and it has to do with fairness when it comes to digital property. I’m an advocate of time-shifting and space-shifting content. When I say content I mean books, movies, TV-shows, games, whatever. Time-shifting refers to the process of utilizing something at a [...]

I’m in a Show

Aaron Eiche — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:55:58 +0000

A couple of months ago, I decided to try out for a musical my church is putting on. I have been cast in the part of Charlie Davenport in “Annie Get Your Gun”. We have 3 performances starting a week from Friday. The ticket cost is $2 a seat, but if you have more than [...]

Last Minute Halloween

Aaron Eiche — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 06:06:39 +0000

I’ve always been very taken with Halloween setups. The orchestration, the excitement, and creativity all lead to a fun expression of the holiday. Halloween has taken it’s place among this generation as the time to do really really cool stuff. Every Halloween for the last 5 or 10 years, I’ve wanted to do something creative. [...]

My First Printed Plastic Part

Aaron Eiche — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:57:53 +0000

I have been working at this for months. A couple of years ago, I found out about the RepRap project. The idea behind the reprap (if you haven’t talked to me recently) is to create 3-dimensional objects on a computer, and produce them in reality by “printing” them. Today, I printed my first object. After [...]

A Beginner’s guide to making an Arduino Shield PCB

Aaron Eiche — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 17:27:36 +0000

(This tutorial has gotten really popular recently, and I’m very pleased that so many people are interested. I learned all of this stuff while working on my first PCB. If you’re interested, I’ve started to sell the most recent version of my Arduino ProtoShield. If you’re making a shield, have fun and good luck!. If [...]
