Visit the Benheck.com Showcase!

Hey thanks to Skyler Lipthay we have a brand-new section of the Benheck.com site, called “The Showcase”.

www.showcase.benheck.com

The basic idea is that anyone who belongs to our forums can post pictures, specs and How-To’s about their work, all in one convenient place! It uses your same login as the forums, so no need to re-register. New users can sign up on the forums to use the Showcase.

Some other great features:

  • Your work gets shown on a somewhat popular site (mine) that always gets linked to by much more popular ones. It’s all about the synergy, you know.
  • Separate pages for your projects and yourself as a modder. Is your stuff for sale? Tell the world!
  • Proper link titles for when external sites link to your work. Better than directing them to the forums.
  • First “main” image is hosted on my server, making life easier for everyone.
  • Visitors can sort by date, project name, or projects by modder.
  • Stick in additional photos, YouTube videos, whatever. The forum mods monitor new entries to keep everything crisp and clean.
  • Cool, calming colors present a serene viewing experience.

So be sure to check out all the great projects in the Showcase – more are being added everyday, and if you wish, you can add your own! I’m even going to put my stuff on there (one project per day) since it’s easier to navigate than my main blog!

Enjoy…

Commodore 64 Auction Ending Soon, Plus Other Stuff

Just one more day to bid on this fine piece of American engineering! It’s a two of a kind item, and it can be yours! To place a bid that benefits Child’s Play charity, click here to submit a bid. (Auction ended, thanks!)

In other news I am taking off work until August 16th. If anyone wants work or projects they can contact me to discuss, but no work will be performed until then. I’m tired, I’ve built, what, 6 or 7 Xbox 360 laptops this year, usually I only do one! But don’t worry, when the time comes I’ll be rearin’ to go.

All is not lost, however! One way I am spending my free time is getting some serious work done on Bill Paxton Pinball. As you can see above the display is done and working… next is sound, which Chris Kraft and I have already started working on. Should be pretty cool, though I’ve still got a lot to learn before I get it all working – stay tuned!
