I started the summer off with about 200 dollars, tried to get a job and ultimately did not because this town sucks and if you give someone your resume before they actually start hiring they will keep it "on file" which basically means throwing it away.

My other plan was to make arcade controllers for profit/fun. It has taken my friend and I way too fucking long to get anything done because he has stuff planned on a regular basis, whereas i do nothing but sit in my room all day if i am not working on soldering a board or working in the woodshop. We almost have our first prototype done, how exciting.

Making ps3 controllers is really easy because you can buy easy to deal with control units but 360 controllers are retarded and the only way to have a not ridiculously shitty to deal with board is to buy a goddamned mad catz 360 gamepad, which have at least 7 different internal board versions to begin with so its a fun surprise every time you crack one open because maybe youll have to make a signal inverter out of a transistor for the triggers or maybe youll have a board that has TEST POINTS for you to solder! what a concept how exciting.

by the way you guys should buy one of these, i am really really hungry.

Oh wow. What do the pads look like so far? I'm actually thinking on buying one, the afterburner maybe since it's only $130 and it's good from what I've tried. My friend let me borrow his CB for 6 months and I hate it, it just feels awful to play on.
