The Full Mock-up
August 2, 2004

This past month I celebrated my 35th birthday.  It was an Arcade bonanza!  Thanks to Karla spreading the word to her family I recieved an Imperial Trackball, Slik Stik Tornado Spinner, and four Happs Perfect 360 joysticks.

The Prototype

I started gathering some of the stuff I'll need for my arcade machine.  I don't think I'll be able to get around to actually building the cabinet until the basement gets closer to being done.  So instead, I decided to start ordering the supplies I'll need so that I can play around with some of it before the final assembly.
