A little delayed on the post, but we built a cornhole set, followed one of the many online guides. As you can see, we painted it Mario themed, overall I think it turned out really good!
Been a while since I posted, retro-actively adding some post.
Retro Pi’s (Raspberry Pi B, Raspberry Pi 2, USB Hub, USB Hard Drive)
May 26th, 2015 | Posted by in Personal - (0 Comments)I received a raspberry pi 2 for valentines day, so I set off on a new project. I found a Bentley Compu-vision at good will. Used this as the case for my original raspberry pi, usb hub, usb hard drive, and new raspberry pi 2.
Wow, what a year 2014 has been for running for me.
I have keep track of my miles per month over the last several year, you can see the last 3 below. I finished 2014 with 216 runs with a total distance of 1,360 miles.
Took a screenshot before I had to reboot.
Ice Age 50k registration
December 14th, 2014 | Posted by in Fitiness | Personal | Running - (0 Comments)Just registered for my first 50k (31 miles) ultra marathon…. nervous, check, excited, check, ready to train, check! Only 145 days until Ice Age Trail 50 race day!
Been a while since I posted, but I finished the Chicago Marathon this last weekend in 4:13:49. My wife made a video, so make sure to take a look.
Just wanted to provide an update from my previous post (http://akschaefer.com/2013/08/11/flatpi/ ). I did a new layout which allows me to easily access the Power, Ethernet, and HDMI without any issues. The previous layout I had to get my hand in the middle to unplug the device. I also added a USB hard drive, the connector I used is from an xbox 360 transfer kit, I just removed the plastic cover.
Alright, so while I love the title steam machine, its not a steam machine from valve, its more like a Windows machine that runs Steam Big Picture.

Ah video card!
Hard to see, but I had to cut part of the case so the video card heat pipes could fit.
Motherboard came this way, the northbridge heatsink was not latched down, I found the clip and spring, and attached it. No problems so far.
