Hello all (though I’m being a bit optimistic with the word all),
I’m Nirav Patel, a rabble rouser, robot herder, meatsmith, moonshiner, psuedocryptozoologist, and all around eclecticc individual. I’m also a Junior in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. This web log, or blog as it may be known, is documentation of the ideas I have and projects I undertake to provide warning to others of what not to do with their lives.
The following is a list of things I’ve done that may or may not end up documented on this site, depending on how bored or lazy I am:
- Pac-Man shaped arcade machine
- Snowmaking
- Microdistilling
- Grado mods
- Headphone amps
- POV (Persistance of Vision) devices
- Baking/cooking (meatcake, etc)
- Bonfires
- Various small things and less interesting projects undertaken for classes
There are far more things that I plan on eventually doing. Most of them are completely stupid and/or unrealistic, but there are a few gems:
- CPS (Continuous Pizza System)
- Low cost EKG for OLPC
- Vision processing for OLPC
- Stop motion photography for OLPC
- Multimeter glove
- Sugar rockets
- Portable Dobsonian telescope
- Crocheted Amigurumi
- Flavored snowmaking
- Steam powered robot
- Wireless POV display
- FM transmitter/amplifier
- Candy fab
- CNC
- Robotic Zeppelin
- Mobot
Some other topics that may come up time and again include:
- SpongeBob

- Banjo
- Crocheting
- Robotics
- Pyrotechnics
- Classic movies
