With a new GT Academy  contest coming in May, and with a new home. I have to build a new steering whell mount for racing in Gran Turismo. Here you will be able to check out what I will be building and my building notes.

This plan is for a collapsible Steering wheel mount for a separate chair or couch. Personally I will be using it with my couch for Gran Turismo. I need this to be portable and collapsible for easy storage because I will have to use it in my living room and it will need to be put away when not in use.

The whole thing will be made of PVC pipe and fittings. There will be several stages to this build. The picture shown only shows phase one and the base line idea. Phase two will involve wood or fiberglass inserts to close it in and base boards on the bottom with carpet for a better feel. Phase three is still in the building process, as I would like to have some sort of lighting effect with the GT logo on the front. Ideas for this are many. An effect and working idea are still in the works. This project starts this weekend (4-21/22-12). I will try and post pictures and progress as I go along.

I have a laptop now and I have noticed that while using a laptop on any given table, there is a large amount of neck fatigue. My neck is starting to hurt just writing this blog. I came up with a cheap design for a DIY laptop stand made out of PVC Piping.

This is fairly Cheap design and construction. Most of the pieces usually cast $0.30 each, with the pipe its self costing under $2.00. If you need tools for this your looking about an extra $20.00 for the cutter and the glue.

I will update this post as soon as the project is complete and I have some pictures of it

A lot of time has pasted since my latest entry. There is good reason for this. Currently I have been diligently working on completing a business website with my wife. So much had to be done and checked over that it has taken up a lot of my time. The Website can be viewed here at http://mksdesignss.com. I have also been working on an Iframe site to go along with MKS Design Services called Pink University. Its is a site of sorts that has over 900 files of Training and tracking documents for Mary Kay Consultants. There is so much more that went into this, but I wont go into it.

I recently received an email from HostGator. As most everyone knows, I completely support this service and they have a promotion going on for $100 off for the first month, on Windows Dedicated Servers. I didn’t see an end date, but I can only assume it is until the end of November. Personally I prefer a Linux Server because it is more stable but some like Windows Server because of some of the benefits to asp and .net. If its something your interested in Please click on any of the links.

So what is in the future? Hopefully soon I will have a personal review of Uncharted 3. Gran Turismo 5 has some great updates lately and I should have some new screenshots to display soon.

I invite you to take a look at what I have been creating at MKS Design Services.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

The Silly Season is always busy for me and I seem to let the little things slip away. I am still working on my GT Academy trials but things are slow going. I am having fun playing with new Christmas toys and playing MAG. I do have to say that MAG is a very fun game with lots more to do then the mindless Modern Warfare type of play on other FPS's.

I haven't had a whole lot of time on GT5, but plan on making some time up in the coming days. With Having a wheel and getting at least two hours of play time, competing with a ten year old and my wife for time on the TV, then working… It's not easy.

I am also working on MAG. I have a skill set in mind but it is slow going as I am still discovering new aspects and strategies of the game. Other than that not much else going on. Have fun.
