Oh, right, because when I went to college the web didn’t exist yet.
And, even if there was such a class, I wouldn’t have heard about it as a philosphy major.

It’s always the funky ones…
I bought several1 pairs of glasses online recently. They’re so cheap2 that when I order them online I make a point of getting one pair that looks like the pair I’m currently wearing, one pair that is kinda funky, and two or three pairs of glasses that are somewhere between what I’m wearing at the time and funky.
The funniest part is that I invariably3 enjoy wearing the funky pair the most. Out of a $40 order, I’m overjoyed if I get one pair that I really like. In any case, the above is the funky pair with the other four being considerably more conservative. I’ve only been wearing this funky pair for a few hours now, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be my favorite.
I’m so giddy!
I can’t wait for OpenSCAD to finish rendering this new object I’ve fashioned out of a DXF file!
Toolpath was basically:
- Inkscape importing PNG image
- Convert image to SVG, reduce colors, simplify lines
- Export to DXF
- Incorporate extruded DXF into design
It will be mine. Oh, yes, it will be mine. 12

- That’s a red herring. It’s clearly a Doctor Who themed object. [↩]
What the heck?!?!
I just listened to a song by Amy Winehouse courtesy of Pandora. I was very pleasantly surprised.
MakerFaire car magnets?
I’ve been seeing these around for the last month or so. I think they’re from the Young Maker’s program. At least, that’s what my friend Google tells me.
What would you do?
I watched a show the other day that featured a bunch of rich people. It showed them showing off all the stuff they were spending money on – sports teams, boats, etc.
If I suddenly came into a pile of cash, I’d move to the middle of no where and have a big damn library and a small workshop for making cool stuff.
Perception Filter
Yesterday I had a coworker tell me I’d like the TV show Bones. I was told I reminded them of one of the main characters – smart, arrogant, and completely lacking people skills.
I think it’s a compliment?
9:30PM…
And I just finished watching the Doctor Who premier.
It was really good.
2:00AM and it has begun…
There’s a Doctor Who marathon leading up to the premier of season 6.
Right now the episode “The Waters of Mars” is on. This is a particularly magnificent episode – if for nothing else than for the last ten minutes or so. If you haven’t seen the episode, turn back now and stop reading.
The reason this bit is so great is that the Doctor, who normally tries very hard to stay out of the way of established history, declares himself not merely a survivor, but a winner1 and a lord of time with the mandate and right to rewrite history.

Aren’t you glad you never return my e-mails?
A real conversation:
- Friend: “how the fuck am I going to model a knight and a horse though?”
- Me: “Psssh. That’s like two lines in OpenSCAD”
