Launched Utah Small Business Development Center new website!

We've recently launched a new website for Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC).  We worked closely with them to revamp their website strategy to give the state-wide network a more cohesive feel, optimize it for all devices, and add eCommece functionality to allow for easy training registrations.  Their goal is to increase their reach to small businesses around the state and give them access to the business service most businesses need.  Good luck!

Drupal Watchdog

My latest article now available!

I've become a regular author in the trade magazine Drupal Watchdog. My 4th article in a series of articles was published this month. I've been writing about a command line tool that we use on a daily basis named Drush. This tool allows a developer to perform many types of tasks that would otherwise have to be done "the hard way".

There are a handful of the previous issues laying around the office. We're happy to give you one if you're interested!

Reprap Update - Motors, and Bed

At last! I have the bed and the motors mounted on the printer. The motors weren't bad, I just had to find the right bolts to secure them to the plastic pieces.

The heated bed was a little more difficult--and by a little, I mean a lot. As mentioned before, we have a bigger heated bed. This required us to custom-cut the aluminum bed, as well as custom-sized glass to cover it. Both of which we bought from Home Depot, and used a grinder to cut the metal.

A new module for Drupal's Display Suite

Often we get designs that call for specific layouts, sometimes these layouts are uncommon, other times it's run of the mill. There are tools that help make these layouts easier to manage.

Launched Ski Club Pro

We're really excited about the launch of this new software product we have created.  It has been 6 months in the making and is only the beginning.  We created this new product to serve the specific needs of winter sports organizations, such as ski racing, freeride, snowboard, and freestyle teams.  The software helps streamline the registration process, stores important medial and release waiver information, and helps staff communicate with their participants in a quick and effective way.

A $20 Standing Desk

Many people have written about standing desk. Many are for standing, many are not. How do you feel about it? For me, I only have a basic understanding of why someone would want to use a standing desk. Here is what I understand in a summary:

Lever Pulley 3D-Printer

Lever Pulley Reprap - Frame Complete

Well, after a few weeks of waiting for everything to come together, we have finally finished the frame of the 3D printer. The width of the frame ended up being about 396 mm, or 15 and a half inches. At the widest point (the two rods on top) it is about 22 inches. The rods are threaded zinc, with a diameter of 5/16 inches. The nuts used were also zinc, as well as the washers.

Lever Pulley Reprap - Parts Arriving

After quite a few months planning on what to get for this Reprap, we have finally purchased the parts we need. Now they are slowly starting to trickle in, with the plastic pieces being one of the first to arrive.

These plastic pieces were bought from Amazon, and upon initial inspection, definitely need some cleaning up. In my past experience with 3D printers, a straight-edge razor works the best with this kind of plastic (ABS plastic, or the same plastic LEGOs are built out of).
