I'm just getting into modern and thought this looked cool and fun , suggestions and comments would be of use.

You'll definitely want {steel overseer}- buffing everything isn't a bad play.

Very good card, agree completely.

-3 {Mycosynth Golem}
-4 {Darksteel Relic}
-2 {Galvanic Blast}
+3 {Glimmervoid}
+4 {Signal Pest}
+2 {Springleaf Drum}

??  Getting Tez and {Academy Ruins} could be a little sketchy with just the opals and the 2 drums.  {Signal Pest} is a force to be reckoned with haha!  And drum is just good!

I agree with this, but would drop tezzeret before i dropped {galvanic blasts}. also:

-3 {Ethersworn canonist}
-1 {Arcbound Ravager}
+4 {Steel Overseer}

{Steel overseer} ends games quickly and reliably. He's the best card in the deck besides {cranial plating} or {mox opal}.

It's looking much better, but 20 is too many lands. I'd say:

-2 {Ghost Quarter}
-2 {Academy Ruins}
+1 {Ornithopter}
+2 {Galvanic Blast}
+1 {Arcbound Ravager}

Vindog

Anything else trying to make it competitive so I can take it to Totalcon and FNM

I'd say sideboard {torpor orb} for Kiki decks and {graffdiggers cage} for birthing pod decks.

Is   {Thopter Assembly}and  {Time Sieve} worth running?

Too slow for modern, especially affinity. You want to close out games by around turn 4/5, and drawing only one of the two combo pieces will only slow you down.
