    The Garage Computer

    I have an older netbook that I use in the garage when needed. Has a 9-cell battery for long battery life and is small enough to be set anywhere, perfect solution for what I need and I get use out of something that was just sitting around.

    Things I wish I knew 20 years ago . . .

    These are all really good tips, learned a lot in a few short pages. Considering I was only 8 years old 20 years ago I would have to say there are a lot of things I did not know back then naturally. This is a great topic thanks to everyone who contributed!

    Vintage Box Tag-Style Logo

    Designed it all from scratch using some textures and Photoshop trickery. The type was derived from the original hand lettering found on my pops tow truck, which I created digitally with some more accents. I am working on another for my blog that I will post up soon. Thanks for the comments...

    what did you learn in the garage

    DL: A lot so far, including how to utilize the space you have available. Also garages built out of turn-of-the-century barn board can hold some surprises (like cool old pulleys).

    Thanks all, much appreciated. Have not shown my pop yet, going to take this design and build him a website around it for his shop.
