Friday, February 19th, 2010I remember filling out the application that came stuffed in the liner of my copy of Duty Now for the Future.
cool scale cockpit video
My wife noticed this in the family archives.
Motorcycle racing in Lilliput.
Here’s an RC multicopter big enough to ride on!
I had a fun time talking to Mark Frauenfelder in episode 4 of his new podcast, Make: Talk!
I feel like I could be getting more mileage out of my right foot.
An Etsy portrait. Thanks, Danny.

My friend Tess just made the cover of ReadyMade with her cool lamp design.
Can this be for real? The design is so awesomely Thunderbirds. Via
Are Go!
Sweet assemblage spaceship’s bridge.
Watch the sink slowly, all but disappear from the design .

There was a time when I was an avid garage saler, addicted to the thrill of the hunt and anxious to harvest the bounty of better than new, once treasured goods that the weekend had to offer. Not so much in recent years. These days, I am pretty happy to live vicariously through Mr. Jalopy. […]
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 come. Lithophane […]
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 […]
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, […]
Stereo pair set up for Cross-Eyed viewing.
Taken – read Flickr notes. ”The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk is a progressive lending library of electronic components. 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. […]
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 from a more […]
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. Hyperstereo Hyperstereograms are image pairs that are made using a larger than human interocular spacing. Huh? You know, the cameras are further apart than your eyes. The effect on a landscape […]
