Life updates and my Experiences with the Burkheart center for Autism within the past two weeks

Well I have obviously been offline and away from here for quite some time But now i am back. Anywho to keep things simple, my first week was a bit rough since I was still getting used to how things work at the burkheart center but I am adjusting. Though with my new living quaters its a work in progress as I am still getting everything placed to my liking. This second week has been alot better as I am currently doing two internships through them,
1) Texas tech Greenhouse or the Greenhouse as they refer to it as being.
2) the Theateare next door to them (though the name I can not seem to remember)

(Just thinking about it at the moment my blogging skills are probably aweful but yet here I am still doing it.)

On a seperate note I have started up another project for myself to work on. though to be specfic its a radio under the branding Stewart Warren.  I am not particualry sure since part of the model info is a bit obscurred. Though my game plan with the unit is to keep the original casing and add two additional speakers to make it a three channel system. Then with the dial that controls the radio station give it a  new backlight and maybe if possible allow it to control what the actual station it is. while in the grand scheme of things use modern audio equiment to operate it. Lastly the old record player removed and the space where it once was converted into storage space for magizines and whatnot. But overall the original asthethic kept as i do like the cracked wood appearence.

Now might be asking how I got it, well then to put it simply it was from buying two excellent condition desks from a family in Lubbock that did not have a need for them anymore. they were asking $30USD for it but they gave it to me for free as a gift along with a collection of awesome games, two of which remain unopened .

Life updates

This post I'm going to try and keep short and sweet as being more of an in general life update. Overall since my last post life has been ok for the most part as I have been preparing to take my last and final exam for high school level British literature after I ace it then off to the world of normal life after High school. Then with a bit of help from the Burkhart Center off to the grand world of the workplace, hopefully doing something that I can enjoy and fits within my level of skills.
Though lately, I have not worked too much on the fursuit project aka "furst costume I have ever made" but I do have a general idea as to what I am wanting for the end result. Minus the fact that I seriously do not know how to draw or create the required design images but if someone who knows this area of expertise wants to help me out that would be super awesome as we might be able to work out something of an agreement in exchange.

On a separate note getting my annoying Toshiba cavio connect 2 external hard drive working is a lost cause. To the point that I have to more or less take it into a hard drive repair shop just to get my data back. So I am majorly annoyed since I spent an additional $60 just to buy another drive to repair the one that died. Overall I would recommend avoiding Toshiba branded products.

This is the general Idea I am going for, I do not own the image Image credit "The Tigres"

Life Updates

OK so this post is going to be something of a two in one kind of blog post. As it will count for the post I missed doing yesterday. Other than that on with the post.

So yesterday in the afternoon I had an appointment the Burkhart center for autism research and development. Where I had a bit of a discussion about the programs they were offering to help me out in the development of my future. From the experience the two programs seemed to be of equal interest but due to it being that of a personal discussion, the information will not be given other than that of a link to their services. Later that afternoon I went to a very unique thrift store called Savers. Where I picked up a good deal on a used iMac G4 that was in pretty good shape other than a bit of cosmetic wear and tear. On the hardware side it is a fully working unit but the MAC OSX system does have a tendency to crash and the computer has to be restarted but it only happens when left in idle mode. CD-drive works but the motor that spins the disc might need to be replaced. But overall it is in pretty good shape. The other item I bought was a rare disney store item form the Jungle Book film, a shear kahn plush toy. Between the two items I do plan on selling them to make a decent profit to buy other things. The rest of the day I finished up my christmas shopping and ended the day with going to a Chinise buffet for dinner. Later that evening when testing the iMac my toshiba cavio hard drive died on me.
