Quin seemed to enjoy meeting the neighbors and collecting as much candy as he could. Here are a couple of shots of little Yoda in his first moments reviewing the loot and then passing out after he was allowed to enjoy a few treats.
What do three Star Wars characters do after a free lunch (in costume) at Chick-Fil-A? Run around the yard and pose for pictures. Enjoy! (Quin and his cousins, Grant and Marah sure had some fun today. And yes, Yoda does need a pacifier for some reason. Thank you cousin Grant for loaning us a light […]
We finally made it to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Our friend Jill kindly invited us to join Ella and Jack there. She was also kind enough to drive us. Thank you Jill! This place was definitely a great spot for Quin and Ella. These two started out the day by painting, then doing […]

Today I took a long overdue opportunity to update the section of our website that shows off my arcade machine. A lot of changes have happened since I first took some pictures and did a little write-up — BACK IN 2004! So I decided that a simple way to organize writing about the different swappable […]
Yes! A Star Wars yoke! I found this yoke a couple of years ago on ebay. It was actually from an Apache 3 arcade machine. I cleaned it up, painted it, built a “steering column” of sorts for it and got it working with my cabinet. I used the “Dual Strike hack” (which at the […]
Obviously, this is for driving games. Pole Position is the one that I play most often with this panel. The steering wheel and the gear-shifter came from a Badlands cabinet (ebay!). It feels very natural when playing Pole Position. The shifter is really a 4-gear shifter, so games that have more gears still work (like […]
