On the topic of making sugar sculptures:

A couple made a machine that can create 3D objects out of pure sugar (link). There's a vid of it in action right below the article, and it's pretty cool.

On the subject of unwanted company:

This is Cat. Say Hi to Cat. Did you know cats can fart? Probably not very surprising, but that question wasn't exactly on the list of life's wonders to contemplate up until Cat decided to get off my keyboard/mouse. I was going to thank her for graciously allowing me to use my computer again, but then I realized she was probably not moving for my sake.

Well, this has been my story. Say goodbye to Cat now.


Not that she particularly cares.

My Job is Sweet

I drilled holes in multi-million dollar pieces of machinery today, and I was payed for it. My job rocks. I also had to tap the holes, which was not as cool. Now if the manufacturer ever ships me my part I can hang it on the machine and test it. With any luck I'll get photos and I might be able to put them up here. That would be quasi shady but o well.

Come visit!

You guys should all come visit me and Jayant here in Connecticut! Stacy is totally doing it, and she is therefore awesome.

(You should ask her for details if you want to tag along with her!)

neckless

i found a pretty cool neckless place, they carve writing on both sides of a grain of rice and put it in a colorized oil and seal it in a pretty cool container. and hang it around ur neck.

its $250 nt ($8USD) i will take picture of more containers. i just thought its pretty cool.
you can choose containers, they are glass and have different shapes i.e. tooth, horn, twist, lighting, bottle, heart ect.
you can choose the color. he mixed the colors so you can be pretty specific.
you can choose the writings, one side of the grain can fit 13 letters. there are 2 sides to it.
or you can fit 4 chinese characters.

anyway i will take more pictures next time i go there and maybe you guys can order it from me.

Did you celebrate?

So according to the Mercury News June 29th was "Go the Speed Limit Day."

I don't think I participated in the festivities.

Super Powers Here I Come

I left my window open last night and got 3 nasty bug bites on my hand. Am I sad about this? No, I'm ecstatic. See I work in the NUCLEAR medicine department. That means there's all sorts of radioactive material all over my building not to mention x-rays and probably lasers if I'm lucky. I figure there's a decent chance somebody forgot to lock up said radioactive material. Even as I type my ridiculously itchy bugbites are being bombarded with equisite, superpower-inducing, good ol' American radiation. Next time you see me I'll be climbing walls and fighting crime. Either that or I'll have gnawed my hands off from the itchiness. Plus I can never make babies, but that's probably for the best anyhow. Anyway, I'm going to go try and stick to a wall or something, maybe jump off a building to see if webbing shoots out of my arms in an instinctual attempt to save my own life.

Certifiable

So I got SCUBA certified today. Monterey is pretty cool as long as you stay in the downtown area. There were at least 7 ambulances that drove by our dive spot before we went into the water.

And kelp forests are strangely ominous when you can only see 5-7 feet in front of you.
