I ran the first machining job with my newly operational Lumenlab Micro CNC robot (did you hear the champagne cork pop?). I say newly operational, since I won’t consider this thing “finished” for a long time, if ever. I anticipate fitting new tools to the machine to do different things for years to [...]

Thankfully, my 6 year-old son has no interest in this outstanding vintage Towncraft blue ringer TV treat pajama top as a replacement for his worn-out favorite PJ’s.
My friend Pat gave us this shirt when we first got pregnant, and I’ve been savoring notion of someday outfitting one of the kids with it.
But since Harlan doesn’t [...]

If you’ve ever ridden latest iteration of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, you will remember how, right before you hit the first drop, you are greeted with the ghostly image of the tentacle-faced Davey Jones creature warning you that “dead men tell no tales”. I certainly did.
The effect uses rear-projection video, [...]

An internet meme in physical form halfway between P2P zip-archive sharing and a flea market. It arrives full of wonderful (and possibly useless) components, but you will surely find some treasures to keep. You [...]

Although coconut shells do have some well established niche market uses such as novelty swimwear and small caged-pet shelters, I can’t help but to feel as though too many of them are going to waste.
The New Altoids Tin?
No I don’t mean as a mint holder, but as an improvised homebrew electronics project enclosure. The Altoids [...]

I think that I may have just out-nerded myself. You see, the 2-minute dueling sabers were fun for a couple of days, but they weren’t the most durable things in the world and were a bit lacking in the realism department. So I decided to build a nicer set of “elegant weapons [...]

Here are 3 hyperstereo views of Seattle, taken from the observation deck of Smith Tower. These stereo pairs are set up for cross-eyed viewing.

Last night I found myself in a remarkably Ratatouille predicament.
It is rare that our cat Rudy brings an animal into the house in anything but either a dead, or mortally wounded condition. Last night we were hanging out in the basement to escape the upstairs heat (Seattle houses don’t have AC). We kept hearing [...]

They’re falling all the time
