Welcome to the world of Bald Brain: designer, inventor, dreamer...
This site is dedicated to sharing my many hobbies, Halloween being my favorite. I've got some how-to's for Halloween costumes and haunted house props.
You'll find other stuff here too like some music I wrote way back when, some old Flash animation humor, and whatever else distracts me from time to time.
Only 251 days until Halloween!
For quite some time I have been wishing I could add the ability for my visitors to comment on my projects. I didn’t want to have to re-do my entire site just to add that feature, but after trying to find a simple solution to add commenting to my site, I came to the conclusion that re-doing my entire site in WordPress might actually be easier in the end.

I turned my garage into a haunted house again this year. It consisted of a projection screen at the entrance showing various Halloween scenes, a pair of TVs showing “white noise” clips, and a table covered with real animal skulls and fake body parts.

These are photos from my vacation to Drummond Island, Michigan. We stayed in a cottage that can be rented for a week at a time. My favorite day was when we went kayaking on First Lake. The water is a dark brown from the tannic acid, and it reminded me of the swamp in Lord of the Rings where Frodo fell in with all of the dead bodies. I expected to see a corpse float up to the surface the whole time. We saw several beaver damns and two bald eagles flew right above our heads.
My wife and I started kayaking in the summer of 2010. Nothing better than a new hobby to feed my need for more creative projects!

This is a simple DIY iPhone Stand using Technic LEGOs. You can easily adjust the angle of the iPhone. There is also an adjustable radar dish (from a 1980s space LEGO kit) to reflect the sound toward you. I used rubber caps from a metal shelving unit to prevent the iPhone from slipping on the plastic LEGOs.
