  1. So as part of a personal #project to make A Thing, I needed to make a component Sub-Thing. And I couldn't think of a good way to do it. Part of it involved 3D-printing, but there was something else needed, and I wasn't sure what I could use to do that part of it.

    And after a few days, my brain (which works by batch jobs, for weird research requests like this) said "Hey, remember that episode of How It's Made that showed a jeweller doing enamelling? Something like that might work."

    So I just did it for the first time, and damn if it doesn't work. It turned out about 90% success, with a few minor blemishes here and there, and I'm certain I can do better on my next try.

    How It's Made is a Canadian national treasure.

  6. Germany‘s first and only broom factory on the Fediverse seizes the moment, produces a rainbow broom and becomes German Mastodon‘s darling in the process.

  7. I just watched How It's Made - Nails and Staples; Safety Glasses; Fabrics; Bicycles (S01E06)!

  8. I made a video on how I bent this Fallible Luv thing I have been wanting to make for so long. It's nice an bright, and I bent it with my own fallible human hands.

    I used to think human fallibility was a negative way of looking at the world, but now I think it's a good thing. Rationality is sometimes boring.

    Hey this tube has no neon in it- just Argon gas and a drop of mercury :). I did use neon electrodes though- so I guess that makes it neon?

  9. The title is a twist on a Joseph Campbell quote (if you google my title, you'll find the OG quote). It's long been a favorite of mine as a longtime enthusiast of deliberately triggered mystical experiences. When I fed it to the #AIOracle, it spit out this magnificent bastard, and it felt predestined that this was going to Be An Important One for the album.

  10. Today's feature is our keycap verification machine. We use this ensure proper location and orientation of all keyboard products that make it through production.

  11. I ended up generating way more good images/titles than I could possibly use on the album (45+ at this point) so I essentially had a lot of direction/framing without songs attached yet, and a song that I had abandoned because it lacked a clear direction or narrative framing to guide it to the finish line... A nice fit.
