Well, went to the first party I've been to in ages Saturday night. Was kind of nice to get out for a change. I'm going to have to make an effort to get out more often.

I am advanced into my crafting of a generator based on the Wood 103. I have the shell of my stator in the process of being made, and I almost have the core with the magnets done. I'm doing mine a bit differently because for one I don't have the wood working skills that the authors of the article do and two I intend to hook it up to my bicycle instead of making it into a wind genny. My friend NTL from the otherpower.com discussion boards was up a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that without his positive attitude about it I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have. He's a whiz with wind gennys and a very supportive person.
