That's right, BATTLE SNAKES. When all of Steve's groomsmen were in town for some bachelor party shenanigans I was telling them about all the snakes in Arizona and one of them asked, "Did you just say battle snake?!". Thus, a new, ferocious breed was born. Venomous at both ends, they have cobra hoods, rattler body and scorpion tails. We laughed about it for a while, but I thought it would be a pretty hilarious gift to make shirts out of it. Well, Steve was two steps ahead of me and had his friend Kristin make this sketch of the infamous creature. We just ordered shirts to wear under the tuxes at the wedding, and I drew up a list of the nefarious characters that help spawn these devil creatures to put on the back. I can't stop laughing.
JetSKIpack that is. I was riding my bike to work past Burnham Harbor and noticed a guy with a helmet swimming kind of funny behind a guy on a jetski. Seconds later the guy with the helmet flew into the air on a jet of water and flew around! I almost crashed my bike. These guys were talking like they were practicing for a show or demo, and they just kept tooling around. Eventually i had to get to work, and all i could think was, I wish I could fly up to the 30th floor instead of taking the elevator like a chump. Some day....   Beautiful examples of 3D (and in some cases 4D!) typography by studio lo siento. Check out their site, it's worth the trip.      Has anyone done this before? This seems like a genius idea for ship preservation. Its essentially "floating" on a bubble of glass. It just works so well for the experience and the program. Not to mention, it treats the namesake of my favorite cheap scotch like a princess! Huzzah Cutty Sark!
I went on a road trip recently in a car with no tape deck for adapters and no auxiliary port for iPods, but I wanted to listen to a few podcasts none the less. I turned my iPhone's speakers all the way up but they just couldn't cut it and the mids and highs were drowned out. What to do??? I looked around and saw the stack of papers or the map directions. Hmm... I rolled them up into a cone, put it at the bottom of the phone and pointed it up and... Voila! Louder and better quality! but of course my hand got tired holding the makeshift megaphone. But what if i designed a little silicon megaphone that could act as a case too? or even 3D print them super cheap. I COULD BE A MILLIONAIRE! Well, quick scan of the interwebs shows many people have beat me to it. I think I could make a better one than the hokey red one below, but I am in love with the ceramic phones. I want one badly. Until the next epiphany...   | Author
