Welcome to my website. Your
source for all things Mark. This isn't an eHarmony profile, so
I'm not going to give you a full run down of myself. Afterall, if
you don't know me already, chances are you wouldn't be looking at this
site. The main purpose of this website is just to track all the
little projects and other events in my life that I find worthy of
sharing. You will probably learn at least three things about
me by looking at this page:
1. I am a nerd and, as such, I
have nerdy hobbies.
2. I am generally very
thorough. I post a lot of this stuff knowing full well that 1%
of the people who view it will actually care or read every little
detail. I just like documenting things, and more over, I like
re-reading this stuff myself and seeing everything that I've
done. Not to mention that I don't have the best
memory. If I document it all, I won't
forget.
3. I do
not claim that this website is anything more than passable.
Be prepared for a few loooong websites with lots of pictures all on the
same page.
Here's the links to
all my various project websites!

My First Arcade Machine (2008-2009)
I built this machine for myself. It was my first arcade, and I knew very little about anything at this point. It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it. Some day I will probably revamp this machine to fix a few things, but what you see on this web page is essentially how it looks today.
My Second Arcade Machine - The MAME Tapper (2010)
I built this machine for a friend of mine. Giving it over to him was actually very hard for me after having spent so much time making it. I basically righted most of the mistakes that I made in my first arcade machine. I'm extremely proud of this thing and how it turned out.My "Friggin' Epic" Dr. Mario Achievement (2010)
Ok, so this page is a bit ridiculous, but I can't get myself to delete it. Basically I beat Dr. Mario on Nintendo on the highest speed, on the highest difficulty setting, and this page documents what I found out in the end scene that that unlcoks.
This game has been in my family since the early 1960's. In recent years, it stopped scoring correctly, so I decided to fix it up and make it work correctly again. This page documents everything I've done to restore it.Restoring My Ms Pacman Arcade Machine (2013)
A friend of mine handed down this amazing Ms Pacman machine to me. This page documents everything I've done to restore it. Although, it was in such good condition already, saying that I "restored" it is being generous.Restoring My 1977 Gotlieb Cleopatra Pinball Machine (July 2014)
I finally got my first pinball machine! It was a lot of work and a big learning experience for me. I really enjoyed working on it, and I think it's a great starter pinball machine! I'm very proud of the way it turned out. I can't wait to play it more and become an expert at it!
My good friend from college asked me to fix his 1980 Black Knight that has been in their family for years.
