It’s always the funky ones…

Funky glasses

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.

ProfileMaker Version 2.0 is coming!

Posted on by

A few cosmetic details to work out yet…  but I’m almost ready to launch the second version of my ProfileMaker.  I released the first version late last night.

I’d like to think that I’ve increased the number of options while still keeping a slim and intuitive user interface.  I would really appreciate any comments, criticisms, or questions you may have.

It’s alive!

I’ve got my Thing-O-Matic operational.  There were some initial hiccups, but it seems to be working.  However, I definitely need to calibrate Skeinforge and the “end.txt” cool down settings for this machine.  More on those details over at the MakerBot blog.  My initial print, a mini mug1 , turned out reasonably well – but is a little too sparse for actual toasting.
