Custom Boot Screen
My computer boots with Windows XP FBI Edition.
Look:
Well, actually, there’s no such thing. I’m sure most of you know that. So what did I do?
There’s this really cool program BootSkin that allows you to change from your old windows xp boot screen to one of the built in images. You can also download hundreds of boot skins from the online directory. You can even make your own, it’s not too hard, that’s what i did. The website also offers software that enables you to have a custom login screen too. Yeah, so check it out.

Plexiglass LED table
Awhile ago I decided I wanted a small table for my room, and I thought it would be fun to make it myself. I also got the idea of making it out plexiglass, so it would glow if I put LEDs in it. I went to Home Depot and found a piece of plexi that was the right size, then a long piece of wood and some metal clip thingies. I had already bought some blue LED’s online and had some wire laying around. I cut the piece of wood into four equal sized ones for the legs. Then I spray painted them black. Next i drilled holes into the plexi and attached the legs with screws and the metal things. The table was still shaky, so i got some smaller wood pieces and attached to the legs for support. Then i drilled holes into the side of the plexi and stuck the LED’s inside. I finally managed to figure out a way to wire them together so their wouldn’t be wires everywhere. I connected them with a switch i had attached to the side and to wires leading to a 3V wall adapter. Then i used electrical tape to cover up the wires a little bit. It was a fun project, and not too difficult. Here are a few pics:
