I’m looking at my suitcase and wondering what security will think of it. For the monkey build, I’m taking my DeWalt radial sander, belt sander, three boxes of industrial hot glue and two shafts of nylon for milling parts. My other checked bag contains 8 bottles of Frameworks Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and a roll […]
We took a load of furniture down to our storage locker today. As we were packing, we decided to take the mirror off the vanity from Dr. Walker’s (my great-grandfather) bedroom suite. It seemed like it would be safer to move and pack. Then today, Rob noticed that it further disassembles; the shelf between the

I spent more time packing today and got a corner of the dining room cleared. Whew. Also, finished reading The Android’s Dream, by John Scalzi, which I really enjoyed. Good clean fun, which is something to say for a book that starts with a chapter-long fart joke. Rob and I took the bus over to

I went into the WRW recording studio today to get caught up on some of the audio work that I owe folks. I didn’t get it all finished, so Rob and I are hoping to head back down tomorrow at some point. (Thanks, Sam!) It felt good to get back in there, and I loved
While we are on the subject of very cool bug, -e- sent me a link to The Zymoglyphic Museum Curator’s Web Log: “Designer” Jewelry with Insect Larvae which features the art collaboration of Hubert Duprat and a caddis fly. The caddis fly larvae create a wearable tube out of the materials in their natural environment.
Jay Lake mentioned the Anthology of New Weird, which has a very cool clockwork bug on the cover. That bug is made by Insect Labs, which combines antique clockwork parts and actual bugs to create confections of neo-victorian clockwork. There are also some “higher tech” ones with LEDs. These are very, very cool. Go check

Monday, October 12, 1998Day Seven Today started at 6:00am. It was very hard to get up. And it’s raining, of course it’s Seattle so I shouldn’t be surprised. We had a very busy, full day as our first day of school shows. The first show was at 9:30 in, ironically, Marysville. Our second show was

I just got the pdf galley proof of “For Solo Cello, op. 12” which will appear in the March/April issue of Cosmos. Pretty! Full page art! In color!
Thursday, October 8, 1998 We had planned on rehearsing yesterday, but spent the day doing errands or repairs instead. Today was much better. Joe and I both had meetings, but we were able to get some time in the evening to run the show all the way through. There are some rough spots, but most

Modern Mechanix has posted a fascinating photo from 1934 of miniature skeletons, which are strung like marionettes, and can be posed for artists. How odd.

Thanks to -e- for sending me this link. This is freaky, amazing and wonderful, all at the same time. The BBC news reports on an experiment at growing bone in the lab, which then spins out of the laboratory and into the hands of artists. Couples are being given the opportunity to exchange jewellery made
