Sorry to say, I'm dead

Today's nuggets of joy (and confusion)

First, the snow show,, coolness in cool. Check the links, all the structures are made of snow and ice,, SO COOL!!!

Second, the game runner,, So hot!!! (hot like that Hilton chick hot!) It's awesome!! Now I can run in HALO!!!

Third, and last for now, a cool pro tools plugin called izotope, that will make any recording sound like it came from vinyl!! So Rad!!!!!

Happy thanksgiving,, oh yeah, and some people in Canada are nuts (guess which ones!)

Hope your wonderful American day of gluttony was great!! (mine involved far too few spices and not really tasting the wonderful chantrelle mushrooms we picked and placed in the stuffing).

Oh yeah, and here's a great article on the demands of one Canadian minister, who wants to communicate with E.T. communities. You know, because they've conquered crime, and war, and all the other things municipalities and countries have to do. I guess you do have to note he's retired. So that's good,, I guess.

Hapy today!

well that's just SUPER!

SUPER MAN!!!

Chia Rocket, grow your own!!!!

They've tested and found lichens to be able to survive the great void of space, and well,, be fine!!

COOOOL!

Now all we have to do is coat a Saturn 5 with the stuff, shoot it up there, gut the inside, bring it some water, spin it up, and we can triple the space station size in a matter of seasons!!

Found me, and I found the great PV!

So here's a pic and a link to the old MSU solar car project,
it's fun to find yourself places!

If you look really hard you can see my head in the solar car!

Thanks to the GREAT PV!!

(he's smarter than you,, and I don't care who you are!)

oh yeah, and just in case you forgot, Voltron is loved by good and feared by evil,, I'm just saying.

Thing of the day!! and more!

Today, I begin,,

THING OF THE DAY!!

Where each day there will be 10 sketches of a regular type thing, in new design stylings.
I won't be posting them for you, (since it'll take too much of my time) but it's a great little exersize tool for my brain/fingers.

oh yeah, and I found a neato hybrid type article from wired.

There be monsters about.

So, umm, found thing, hope I didn't break your mind, but umm, here's all the power rangers monsters, in order,, (I didn't make it, I just found it!)

whey hey!

Here ya go Ross.

Whoa Mo!!!

So I found this in the Communication Arts design annual 46.

It's a company called MO they make awesome binders, folios, and paper. They do some great design, I applaud them!!!
(hint they're cool!)

Oooh!! and I found another I like too!! Lost Luggage!!! Get found! Their stuff rocks!

Solo,,, uhh, not you Han.

So I'm looking at getting into auto racing, seeing as the new Toro Rosso red bull formula 1 team has filled their seats already, I have to start at the bottom (damn!)

So I'm checking out the SCCA autocrossing. Here's the link for first timers!

Rules

Apparently they have loaner helmets, (helmets are the big requirement, no rollbars or anything).

So it's like 30$ to race! (that's the dues).

They make you help out, (you do timing a few times during the race day, if you don't they're mean to you).

Looks like fun! I'll report back if I go!

Cheers!

Fun design links for you today!

Ohh!! Design Council (those brits are good!)

Bombay Saphire has some cool stuff for you to get from their ads!

Morten Hippe is kinda cool, and

just in case,

There are people talking about TO, STOP IT!

Jeff Wants to see how to make a blog

Let's help Jeff!!

First, Jeff has to go to www.blogger.com
Little does he know,all he has to do is to click on the link and it'll take him right there! Then he can name stuff and send people all over the web!

Sometimes, Jeff gets lost, so we'll hook him up with my friend Erik who makes GPS units and controls tractors. Trimble is cool!

Oh yeah, and we can't forget to show a cool picture!

Shaun Forsyth!!! You get away from those zombies!!

So this is a multiple Shaun post. I know that makes no sense,, shut up and read!

(warning, I've had coffee today!) ahahahahhh!

So first of all, you have to see Shaun of the dead, it's really funny! (that's what the pic is from)

So then some other Shaun in Scotland, had to fight off zomb,,, er some muggers for his mum (that's the way they say it over there), so he got out a frying pan. Big ups to you Shaun!!!

Oh yeah, and if you didn't know, homestar's full name is Homestar Michael Runner. My little PSA for the day.

Cheers!!

Shazam! It's a house!

Check this site out, they've got a great pre-fab home configurator that you can set up really quickly and develop a great bill of materials, (especially if you wanted to do your own home and wanted hints for what you need!)

I'm just saying.

Spongeworthy!

Thanks to the folks over at DesignSponge,
I now know about cool things like this stainless steel cereal vendor!
A must for the kitchen of tomorrow,, today!

oh yeah, and if you're a 28-35 year old GM of a major league baseball team, um, you may want to see that your mortgage is paid up and that you have a job, cause, well, odds are, you don't,

But that's probably mainly just today.

Fuel cell tastic, and "still flying"

So you may remember the coolest little RC airplane I blogged about waaaay back. Well here's the first real review I've read about it, and, It's AWESOME!!!!

Ahh, see I would've been right and would've set the toy company I used to work for straight!

Alas, it was not meant to be.

Also, as you know I used to design for the great Sharper Image, and well, that genius that gave us all the wonderful blue LED (that has helped form the latter company's designs), is now working on a kick ass fuel cell system. Gosh he's a smarty!

Oh yeah, and for some reason I can't upload my images to blogger anymore, what up with that?!

George Takai is fab, but so is this lab

Yes, Sulu is gay, get over it middle american weirdos!

But this Fabrication system thanks to our buddies at MIT is really cool, it's to make and put together anything, from anything, (basically, super machine shop). Just really neato (I want one completed in a garage! (that I also want))

Sadness, and Happiness, all at once.

Porkins is dead. Rest easy Red six. The great William Hootkins has passed away. He will be missed (but never by the imperials, no matter how many times we watch). You made us always love the extras. You were the best of them all. (I'll have to put his picture up later, but you can see him at this link here)

Also, in recently outed news, Sheryl Swoopes, and George Takai. Hey people, I wonder, why are people afraid of those who are gay? It's not that big a deal, remember that life liberty and pursuit of happiness thing? Let them get married already! In the words of some comics "They have every right to be just as miserable as the rest of us." It doesn't hurt anyone. It makes people happy, and well, there's no reasonable reason they shouldn't marry. Some of the best relationships out there are gay people, so cut them some freaking slack!! (oh yeah, and you beards, it isn't helping). Arrrgh!!! Oh yeah, and you can't "Get Gayed!" People that shy away from people who are, and think "gay people are going to get them, and turn them gay" are absoloutely insane! (well, they're probably big fans of that guy on the plus too.

Well, enough preaching, enjoy the star warsy goodness of the star wars website

Retreat!!! Bookworm!!!

ok, so as we've previouslyconfirmed, I'm a weirdo, so here's three books to read, that will not increase your IQ one lick, (unless you're doing production design for a movie and want to learn stuff).

The Science of Star Wars: An Astrophysicist's Independent Examination of Space Travel, Aliens, Planets, and Robots As Portrayed in the Star Wars Films and Books

The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide

The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons (Star Wars)

You know,, if ya wanna do any reading.
