Easy Street

A fun and simple project to help reinforce Java Swing concepts as well as reinforce our understanding of inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and abstract classes.

Easy Street implements many basic Java concepts. The vehicle classes share a signature defined by a vehicle interface as well as a parent AbstractVehicle class. All of the "vehicles" animate on each tick driven by the GUI and each has a death animation based on vehicle interaction.

Skills involved:

Java
Java Swing

3D Printing

A skill and interest picked up in High School, 3D printing and CAD is a process that rewards foreward thinking and planning.

CAD makes designing things very quick but 3D printing is an inherently slow and time consuming process. For creative pieces some forethought helps, but for functional pieces with tight tolerances it pays off to plan and design your piece with correct tolerances for your 3D printer.

Skills involved:

Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk 3ds Max
Slic3r

Photography

A passion and skill derived from my mother's love of capturing our childhood.

Photography is a great creative outlet because there are so many ways to photograph any one subject and so many pieces of equipment to use. Because of this you can spend time finding angles and composing your photos and even more time going through and editing your photos. It's great to see the product of dedication and natural progression in your style and skill over time.

Skills involved:

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Lightroom

Automotive

Cars are an integral part of many people's lives, for most they are simply a mode of transportation, for others they are a lifestyle and a culture.

My first video game as a child was Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, you can't have a much more striking cover image than a yellow Lamborghini Diablo SV being chased by the police. While my interests in cars has swayed from exotic Italians to Japanese tuners the passion is there regardless of make or model.

Classic American cars were big, fast, and chrome. Japanese cars offer performance and style for cheap. Italians cars offered extreme performance and looks. And Germans cars offered luxury and quality. Despite the differences we are all auto enthusiasts and we all love our cars.
