More Pixar Short Films







I noticed this ball from Luxo Jr in Red's dream. Daddy saw it also in Toy story. We checked the google and learned it is in all Pixar movies. Now we have to watch them again and look for the ball.

39 Clues

I have been reading a really exiting book series, The 39 Clues. I have already read book 1, and received books 2 and 3 today. They also have a really cool website where they have nice games and missions. Each book comes with 6 playing cards and one of them has a code you can use at the website. There are also card packs with 16 cards (but I don't have those yet).

I recommend the books for everybody who is interested in agent adventures.

My Lightsaber


I made this lightsaber all by myself. First I found the good pieces. A metal tube with a hole for the handel, a piece of plywood for the belt clip, on/off switch, and the bottom cap. I used drill, circular saw, saw, file, two washers, a nut, a bolt, and some glue.

I made it by:
1. Using the circular saw I cut a piece of plywood to match the hole on the handle, colored it red, and glued it to the hole
2. Using the circular saw again I cut a square then used the saw to make it an octagon then filed the edges to make a circle and glued it onto the bottom.
3. Then using the drill I made a hole for the bolt.
4. Using the circular saw for the third time I cut a rectangle and drilled a hole for the bolt and using the saw I cut 1/2 cm in the midle and 1/4 cm on the side then filed the corners so they are not sharp.
5. Finally I screwed the bolt onto the belt clip and slid the two washers on and screwed it onto the hole on the handle
6. When i got home I filled it with a bunch of LEDs and lasers and batteries and a switch.

When it was ready I placed a camera onto a tripod, started the timer to take a picture, took the attack stance and turned on the lightsaber.
