Long time no post!
A lot has been going on, but without going on and on about life and stuff, I'll just skip to the cool stuff.
3d Printing!
For those not in-the-know, there has been a recent revolution in home 3d printing that is quickly changing the way tinkerers and artists, make and create.
3d printing is a technology where a machine "prints out" a real tangible object from a computer file, often a 3d model or 3d scan of a real object. The material varies between manufacturers and technologies. You can print in plastic, metal, ceramic, resin, glass and more. The machines that do this have been around for a little over a decade. The cheapest commercial 3d printers have been around $10,000 and up averaging about $40,000.
In the last few years, open-source groups have popped up aiming to make 3d printing inexpensive and accessible to the masses. One of the groups which has grown to a business, MakerBot Industries www.makerbot.com get a lot of press recently and is somewhat the "face" of home 3d printing. They sell a DIY 3d printer kit for $1,299. Significantly cheaper than the commercial ones! The quality of the prints are improving all the time and the things that people are making with them are incredible. They even have a dA-like site of their own called Thingiverse www.thingiverse.com where folks upload their designs and others can print, alter and improve and re-upload to their hearts content.
They recently held a contest to have a company mascot designed. Out of almost 100 entries, MY DESIGN WON!!! the prize: A 3D PRINTER!
I'm putting it together right now!
Soon I'll be printing my 3d models in ABS plastic (the LEGO plastic) and building real things with them! So Awesome!
I'll be uploading some of the stuff I do here as well as on Thingiverse. People may not see it right now, but 3d printing will be a really big thing very soon and I am thrilled to be at the forefront.
More to come soon!

Yeah. Go figure.
It will make me lose cool points, but I hope to gain some money points and maybe move up a nerd level.

It's frustrating when an artist is bitten by the creativity bug and when they arrive at their sanctuary to commit to reality the turbulent ethers of their id, it is glaringly obvious that chores need to be done first.
I have been assembling the sophisticated parts of my apartment now; my workspace, the projector entertainment system and the bedroom media system. I wasn't very organized when I moved my stuff over so I have been rifling through boxes looking for cables and other parts to get everything running again.
But I'm almost done.
I hope to make some major progress tonight and hopefully feel like I can get back to working on personal projects again.
I have a growing list of things I want to accomplish and if I can just find my groove, I'll be all set.
Cheers!
