Partnering with the Danish Museum of Science and Technology, InfinIT, a Danish network for innovative utilization of IT, Cotter (Laser Cutting Services) and VRKSTEDET (Underbroen) we created a Bits & Beers to kickstart our newest venture - a series of workshops called "From Old Patents to New Prototypes".
Our theme was 'crazy inventions that can change the world' and our speakers included some very special people who have contributed to our world!
Some of the people joining us included:
Jesper Vind, CEO at Future Electric
The company makes state-of-the-art electric motorcycles, with increased maneuverability and acceleration.

→ facebook.com/futureelectric.dk
Christian Liljedahl: In collaboration with a small team of experts, Christian invented the Pulse Jet Concert, by playing with the pitch of the sound of the pulse jet by changing the length of the pipes. An incredible auditory experience!

Bent Stawski: Specialist in design and manufacturing of advanced scaled mechanical models such as steam trains, steam engines and other mechanical equipment.
Vincent Seremet: Aviation designer and military test pilot with a wide range of aeronautic designs and inventions: gyro-copters, rocketpropelled parachutes, jet packs, phantom wings, etc.

Christian Hansen & Steen Lærke: Specialists in miniature model building. Both scaling, engineering and electrical function associated with advanced model building.
Per Nielsen & Mikkel Posselt: Specialists in combustion engines and can get anything up and running, including the Hammelvogn, built in 1888 by Hans Urban Johansen at the Albert F. Hammels machine factory in Nørrebro.
Finn Helmer: Engineer and previous co-owner of the Electronic company Giga, Finn will talk about startups within inventions, and how to increase your chances of success.
Terje Lade: Manager at Ladeas and developer of the project Vindship, a hybrid merchant vessel for sustainable sea transport.

And a F-16 Jet
The Danish Museum of Science and Technology has a F-16 Jet on loan, and Bits & Beers guests were welcome to get up close and personal, and even sit in the cockpit!

Saddlebag support, saddle spanner, GB stainless steel professional toeclips and Lucas milometer. To fit the saddlebag support for a Brooks saddle without bag loops two holes are drilled into the cantle plate and the spring cover pressed back to insert the holding prongs. Very neat, it can be removed when not required and left attached to the saddlebag.
I had another where the knee wasn't cropped but I didn't like the composition of that one as much.
Is it bugging everyone?

Slept in a bit, did my meal plan for the week. Made veggie stock in the afternoon (7 litres!) and sorted through a bunch of stuff in my desk area (old calculus workbooks? empty cd sleeves? why?), cleaned some forgotten freezer-burnt junk out of the freezer. Ate some lasagna my mom sent us home with, and watched a couple episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix. I'm only 2 episodes in and it's already way better than the movie (but not as good as the books). 127/365.

These are various bits I've experimented with in cutting and shaping tile. See notes for specifics...
I still have pieces to glaze and fire. I am making a stack-able totem for the garden. The pieces will be inter-changeable. I have five more pieces in the works plus a head-topper. I will thread them on a dowel.
Put on by the Vaudevillian, the Two-Bit Variety Spectacle was performed at Home Grown Hamilton and is going to be an on going event the last wednesday of every month.
Bella Cosa. Sounds a bit like some kind of mundane pasta chain - but turns out to be a pretty mind-blowing place for Italian fine dining (which is a thing I have just recently become exposed to). Itâs also a pizzeria. Whatâs the score? Two floors, two different offerings. Upstairs lives the restaurant, with a glass front that offers sky facing views of the city. Here you shall find fascinating things - The Wine Room: which sits 14 and does exactly what it says on the label. If I ran this place Iâd call in âThe Wine Porn Roomâ, but as you can tell, nobodyâs let me run a fine dining restaurant yet (and they have their reasons...). On the subject of wine, you probably wouldnât expect it, but Iâm gonna put it out there and say that Bella Cosa have one of THE most comprehensive Italian wine lists in the city - each of Italyâs 21 winemaking regions is represented to one extent or another. They also have an extensive selection of grappa, including an amarone grappa which is, without a doubt, the best grappa I have ever tried.
Downstairs is where you find the pizzeria (with its stone ovens) and the central bar. Thereâs a bit theyâre calling âThe Chefâs Isleâ where you can watch Bella Cosaâs chefs doing their thing in the open kitchen. Kinda like Benihana but I suppose with less culinary theatre. Downstairs stays open a little later than upstairs, closing at 23:00 Monday to Sunday - last orders on dinner upstairs are at 22:00. As you can see, theyâve taken to celebrating alcohol in its many forms by using old Italian beer glasses as vases for flowers, and enshrining expensive bottles of cognac and champagne on the walls. Downstairs also has a âliving wallâ - made up of what looks like ivy or something related to it. Green walls are the shit, in this writerâs humble opinion. Another thing I should probably mention is that if youâre interested in the Italian craft beer movement, these guys have a very large and exciting selection. Head back upstairs to the âartisan beer cornerâ to see what I mean.
One last thing to mention is Bella Cosaâs head chef Kentaro Torii (who by, all accounts, is a pretty talented guy) has had his say on everything from the interior design of the building (though the actual design can be credited to a chap called Francesco Pizza) and the style of the plates used with each dish. Is that a Japanese name you hear? Yes indeed it is. Kentaro was born in Yokohama, but early on developed an obsession with Italian culture and food that saw him emigrate to Florence, where he absorbed the language, the culture and the cooking. He later moved to Sardinia and focused on seafood, before stints in other parts of Italy, and eventually the Micronesian island of Saipan (yup). What do you get with this guy? Presumably, Italian soul and Japanese efficiency. And now heâs in Canary Wharfâs South Quay and weâre very happy to have him...
A plethora of miscellaneous metallic items were left on shelves adjacent to the mill's machinery workshop floor. These gigantic bits, now covered with rust, were used with devices like the Archdale drill.
Campo dei Fiori Quest'anno la neve non ha certamente risparmiato la nostra zona... nonostante il freddo, uno spettacolo stupendo!
Bits of Meccano Toy Construction Kits.

I spotted this Robin from the other side of the churchyard and quickly started filming. It was zoomed in quite a lot hence the wobbles. We put this tray on top of the water butt for the birds and I was delighted to see this. Holy Trinity Churchyard, Rayleigh, Essex.
I picked up artist Indigo Kelleigh's awesome 8-bit Tarot recently. It's a faithful reimagining of the classic Rider-Waite deck, illustrated in retro 8-bit graphics.
It comes with a button also! :-)
