Xbox 360 Modifications

I recently obtained an Xbox 360 that had an overheating issue, so i fixed that and decided to install a new fan that glows green and makes the xbox cooler by ~5 degrees and is much quieter than the stock fan. I also researched how to paint it online so I just took it apart, cleaned the pieces with rubbing alcohol and painted it with plastic spray paint that required no sanding. The most difficult part was taping the small areas and cutting out the stencils I used using an X-acto knife.

Crab Project

Yesterday Tara and I went out and collected crab pots out in Fritz Cove in Juneau, AK. We are gathering young molting tanner crabs to study their growth and take hemolymph samples aka "crab blood", to start studying bitter crab disease.
