While browsing Twitch streams today I came across a game that's outside of my usual wheelhouse but I HAVE to play it. Tonight: Horsey Game. #gaming #madscience

Here is how I use a corporate sanctioned Windows managed laptop as a perfectly cromulent headless Linux server for sane (?🤔) development workflow, it is, of course, containers all the way down !

If there's one thing I've learned from being completely incompetent at getting a sewing machine or camera back to its fully functional default settings after randomly twiddling a knob to see what happens, it's that:

The most important thing you need to know when you start messing with even a slightly complex system is _How To Undo What You Did_.

The scariest thing about this article is that none of the people involved seem to understand this, and are just relying on "the particles will eventually fall out of the sky".

This is another fave vid from his channel.
It's when he milked #spiders & made #GuitarStrings from them.

Just bought agar agar and soy lecithin and I’m going to try to #MolecularGastronomy / #MadScience some cocktails next week

Mad Science isn't all about death rays and trying to take over the world. I mean there are some in the community who go in for that sort of thing, but really? Death rays are a dime a dozen - there is no real challenge to them, and what do they really do to expand our scientific knowledge? Nothing.

Now I know what you are thinking, and yes, some of what some of us do is not morally defensible, and I'm not going to pretend that that sort of thing is something I support. But that is what we have superheros for, right? To deal with those sorts.

The rest of us just want to answer the really hard questions. "Can you stop time?" "Can you travel in time?" "How many licks does it take to get to the centre of various lollypops?" "What if the moon were transparent?" "Is vampirism a disease or genetic?" Those sorts of things.

Why just last week I helped out a fellow who wanted to know about one of those. We only caused a couple of tidal waves, and to be honest, Florida is better off for them. And he got his answer.

So you see? We just want to help people.

I'm sure you've all asked yourselves the question that used to keep me up at nights - "If the moon were transparent, what would an eclipse look like?" - right?

You never asked yourself that question? Why not?

Well, never mind, here is your answer. I commissioned the local mad scientist to create a moon transparenciser and a gravity gun to change the orbit to get a solar eclipse just where we wanted it.

We put it back afterwards, I'm sure no-one noticed. And the transparenciser wore off after a few minutes. But it was enough for me to get this photo.

I'm late shooting another "Minions at Work" photo cartoon for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, so I had to build this mad scientist lab this afternoon, and will be shooting tonight. These are some test and behind-the-scenes pictures.

Yesterday I did my best to photograph all our extra Kickstarter campaign medals from old campaigns. I'll be listing those on BackerKit once the current campaign ends in 7 days. Here's one of my favorites!

"Although a viable mirror microbe would probably take at least a decade to build, a new risk assessment raised such serious concerns about the organisms that the 38-strong group urged scientists to stop work towards the goal and asked funders to make clear they will no longer support the research.

'The threat we’re talking about is unprecedented,' said Prof Vaughn Cooper, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Pittsburgh. 'Mirror bacteria would likely evade many human, animal and plant immune system responses and in each case would cause lethal infections that would spread without check.'"

- MOUHAHAHA ! Enfin ! Il est fin prêt !
- Professeur ? Tout va bien ?
- OH OUI ! Venez ! Venez voir mon attracteur de fromages ! Un petit levier à pousser et tous les fromages du monde viendrons à nous !
- Vous êtes sur que...
- C'EST PARTI ! Notre bon Roi sera ravi !

Yep, dialing it back. This was the wrong #rabbithole to dive down. It’s #technicaldebt worth retiring and decommissioning, not a specimen for an #experiment in #madscience.

"Just helped my buddy Pack pull off a real 'sci-fi movie' stunt! Teleported him straight into the heart of a bustling robot factory! 🏭🤖 Quite an electrifying journey! Stay tuned for more of our out-of-this-world adventures! #RobotLife #MadScience"

2014 "Mad Science" - Website had some slow blinking lights, the nav buttons "zapped" when you hovered, and the social links were icons floating in test tubes. I also did the header image. The setup may look familiar to Vancouver folk. (Other art by https://tandyeart.com )
