Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
We are in the process of attempting to sell our house. That means we have spent most of the last two months cleaning it up, painting it up, doing minor repairs, etc. Yeah, it was that bad. Don’t judge me. Anyway, the good news is that as of this morning I have finished cleaning, patching, [...]
I used to post a lot here about my gaming activities. Since setting up a separate gaming blog, I’ve stopped posting about games and making miniatures and building terrain and other gaming activities. But just for the sake of reminding folks who might be interested, my gaming blog is here. Some recent posts have been [...]
So I had already been anticipating a comet that is supposed to light up the sky in late spring early summer called “2014 L4″ (Yeah, weird name, it was discovered by an automatic software scan of millions of sky images, not by an actual astronomer), and now we get this news: At the moment it [...]
New to me anyway… So pretty much all of the 3D printers I’ve been posting about and watching for the past few years have been one of two basic techniques, one of which has two basic technologies. The first technique is the “extrude and build up” technology. This is when you take a long thread [...]
One of the things that is always able to get a chuckle out of me is “science reporting” in the news. The sheer level of stunning ignorance on display always gives me hope for the employability of the mentally disadvantaged. Earlier this year the “big news” splashed across newspaper and web pages around the world [...]
A long time ago I used to play the game “Magic:The Gathering”. I even played in a tournament once, and won a few games before being sent home by a guy with a deck full of moxes and lotuses (lotii?) If you don’t know what moxes and lotii are, consider yourself lucky. Because the game [...]
I have been invited to join a group of shooting enthusiasts this Saturday for a full day of shooting prairie dogs on some private land where the owner of the land has deemed the prairie dogs to be dangerous pests which threaten his horses and cattle. The purpose of the activity appears to be a [...]
So here is an interesting situation… I’ve been making molds and casting things out of plaster and resin now for almost a full year. In that time I’ve made thousands of items out of plaster and probably at least a hundred out of resin. But the only things I have created that have actually been [...]
Yes, I am still fascinated with the potential of 3D printing. I am still regularly checking on the progress of the current 3D printing technologies, and I am looking into the cost and convenience of 3D outsourced printing. I have been using “Sketchup” lately. I need to use it more. I think today I’m going [...]
So I decided tonight was a good time to do something I’ve not done in months. I’m guitaring the night away…
