Real conversation from work yesterday

Co-worker: <Demands Christmas present for some flippant remark I made.>  Wait, do you celebrate Christmas?

MakerBlock: Well, I don’t have any Christmas stuff up in my office, so… I suppose not.  Well, I do have a picture of an Easter Bunny.  But, that’s because I believe in bunnies.  I believe in bunnies but not Easter, teeth but not fairies, and claws but not Santas.

Aren’t you glad we don’t work together?  You would have to put up with this kind of nonsense all the time.

Why would anyone want a vortex manipulator?

Answer: It’s a lot more convenient than strapping a TARDIS to your wrist.

Ever since seeing the season 5 finale of Doctor Who I’ve wanted my own printed vortex manipulator.  I have a feeling Nick Starno’s pocket watch case for the MakerBot Watch would be a good place to start.

Just another random thing in my list of stuff I want to make.

Doctor Who Christmas Special 2010 Trailer

Since the revival1 of Doctor Who they’ve had a Christmas Special each year, but it airs at least a day later here in the States.  Last year I totally missed the Christmas Special and had to wait several more months before BBC America re-aired it.  This year BBC and BBC America will be airing the Christmas Special on December 25!  Huzzah!

In case you enjoy this show too, above is the trailer for the upcoming special.  :)
