Skull Case-Mod Project, Update 2

I’ve been improving my skull casing on the watch, building the mechanics for the scroll wheel, the linked centre button, and a bottom skid-plate. The fit of everything is good, but I’m almost obsessive-compulsively working on it to perfection. There is more left to do than seems obvious, but here is where I’m at, holding the pieces together essentially as they should be.

And here are some pictures of the component parts, not including the parts inherited from the wireless mouse. These are the main circuit board, the scroll wheel, and the battery cable (just the cable since I’ve fabricated a better and easier-to-hide battery holder for the single AA cell).

And that must be it for today even though I have much on my mind to write about. However, I’m not doing myself any favors staying up so late, so after a tiny bit of whittling and a little sheep-counting browsing to induce slumber, slumbering I shall become… But yeah, until you hear otherwise, I’ve experiments to run, there’s research to be done, and believe me I’m still alive. I’m doing Science and I’m still alive.

    Those words make me incredibly happy.

    That there is a highly saleable object. I know I’d buy one.
    But that’s in part because it kind of looks like it could be a dragon skull with the scroll wheel. :P

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
