Spam

lab notes
life

As much as I hate spam, at least there is the occaisionally bizarre message providing morning entertainment. I think I found a new signature.

Your mission is to obey the commands of whoever is able to strike the Master Key of Electricity. That is true I once read in a book that all things are regulated by exact laws of nature.

Rock.

Drupal 4.6.0

lab notes
web dev & programming

A new version of Drupal has been released, and that means I'll be updating the site. There are a buttload of changes, so the site will be down for some time while I install the new system and associated modules. Changes in the 4.6.0 release can be found here.

In Other News...

lab notes
life

So far, the shop reorganization project is going well. Mel picked up a copy of Jim Tolpin's "Working at Woodworking" and it has been extraordinarily helpful. Developing an efficient workflow plan was my first challenge and I've been shuffling tools, benches to fit this new layout.

Cracks and Checks

lab notes
life
science & tech

It's been a while since my last entry and I am regretting it. The past couple of weeks have definitely been interesting and of course, there is much to report. I guess I should start with shop news. I delved further into the world of bowl turning, and so far it has been quite the education. I have been experimenting with green wood turning, and while I love this technique, it has one major drawback; the wood cracks and splits terribly if it isn't properly cured.

Aggregator

I recently fell in love with Drupal's news aggregator system. I've feeds form SciFi.com, DesmoinesMC.com, SlashDot.org, Wired.com, Space.com and the BBC News. I'll be adding more feeds and at some point will probably categorize ultrasciencelabs growing list of syndicated news. Additionaly, Drupal features a "blog-it" option for registered users; this allows you to post a blog entry that automatically places the content from the RSS feed, a link to the story and it's title into a personal blog entry for discussion. I extended that feature further by adding a "discuss content in forum" link that does the same- only with a forum entry.

w00t for teh hottness

Well, I finally took the time to update the looks and layout a bit; if only I would do the same for my project logs... one thing at a time, I guess. The forums may need a little tuning yet, but overall I think the site is looking much better- be sure to let me know if it is teh s uck- constructive criticism is always welcome. In other news, I am in the process of adding some news feeds; check "news feeds" in the top menu, or the "DesMoinesMC.com" block in the left menu. Rock.

NOVA is Online

NOVA, the science-based PBS TV program has a new site [url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/]"scienceNOW"[/url]. Definitely a good resource if you enjoy learning. Show clips, transcripts, interviews, recommended reading are all available online. Cutting edge science and tech on the air 5 times a year as a magazine series- looks pretty promising.

Robo-Cat

Much like [url=http://www.scifi.com/robocop/]RoboCop[/url] (minus the armor, weapons, and surly cyborg disposition), Sega Toys brings the world the "Near Me"- a furry robotic cat. Story courtesy [url=http://gadgets.3yen.com/2005-02-10/virtual-pet-cat/]3-yen[/url]. [quote]The Near Me (playing on the sound “nya", which is the Japanese for “meow” and sounds like to “near") is a furry cat robot that could almost pass for a real life (but kinda stupid) kitty.[/quote]

Heavy Pie sent this to me last night: [quote][url=http://www.purepwnage.com/]purepwnage[/url] check out the episodes.... I can dance all day! I can dance all day! BOOM! HEADSHOT! hilarious. I sincerely hope you know nobody that are like this. FPS Doug... lol. freakin' lol.[/quote] From [url=http://www.purepwnage.com/]purepwnage[/url]: [quote]My roommate Jeremy is a "pro gamer" that pwns everybody. If you play video games, you have probably been pwned by him. If not, chances are you soon will be. The life of a pro gamer is often a challenge since your talents are rarely appreciated.[/quote]
