Foam Cutting, originally uploaded by Form<->Function.

Here I am with a half of a longboard blank cut out.I got myself a ten foot block of foam from a new foam maker and have started cutting for my next production run. The foam looks really good and I am anxious to shape it.I am cutting 2 longboards for now; one for my friend Steve and the other for myself. Got some small wave riding planned for the summer.I gotta say….. that sure is a lot of foam! …I am almost 6′5″ tall..:-)

Surgery, originally uploaded by Form<->Function.

My 15″ Titanium powerbook broke down a few weeks ago after more than 4 years without a hitch. After doing a bunch of research online; I narrowed the possible flaw down to a few things, and started with the cheapest piece, a PRAM battery off of E-bay.

Unfortunately, the surgery proved unsuccessful.After much hair pulling, gnashing of teeth and usage of other peoples computers, I went out and bought a new iMac. I can now get back to having fun and doing the business that I need to do.As usual, Apple makes a good nice looking machine and the new Leopard OS has got some nice features. If it gets the mileage that the laptop got, then it will be well worth it. {I guess I mean figurative mileage here :-)}

When I have some more money flowing I’ll keep tinkering on the laptop and see if it can’t be resucitated. At least now I am back up and online!
