This is the sixth fully functional LEGO tank MOC I've build. It's a fictional design, not based of an existing tank, though I was inspired by the LEGO tank Gyuta97 has build.

Here’s the bench in its functional glory. No finish yet. Not even all-together glued yet. Going to install a 4/4 shelf for slippers, flip-flops and such. Joinery is bigass wedged-thru-M&T. Totally sturdy, with no racking. The exposed tenons aren’t very pretty. Did the bore-and-pair method, which seemed prudent for thru-M&T. Dimensions - five feet wide, 15” deep, 17” tall

I've walked by this public art many times, but it was the first time I've seen anyone sit on it, and why not... Yesterday Tino and Sean were catching up on the latest music news (Beat Route)...

Borobudur, the Biggest Buddhist Temple in the Ninth Century
Who does not know Borobudur? This Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in its
complex. Millions of people are eager to visit this building as one of the World Wonder Heritages. It is
not surprising since architecturally and functionally, as the place for Buddhists to say their prayer,
Borobudur is attractive.
Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the kings of Old Mataram Kingdom, the descendant of
Sailendra dynasty. Based on Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that
Borobudur was a place for praying that was completed to be built on 26 May 824, almost one hundred years
from the time the construction was begun. The name of Borobudur, as some people say, means a mountain
having terraces (budhara), while other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high place.
Borobudur is constructed as a ten-terraces building. The height before being renovated was 42 meters and
34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level was used as supporting base. The first six
terraces are in square form, two upper terraces are in circular form, and on top of them is the terrace
where Buddha statue is located facing westward. Each terrace symbolizes the stage of human life. In line
with of Buddha Mahayana, anyone who intends to reach the level of Buddha's must go through each of those
life stages.
The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizes human being that are still bound by lust. The upper
four stories are called Rupadhatu symbolizing human beings that have set themselves free from lust but are
still bound to appearance and shape. On this terrace, Buddha effigies are placed in open space; while the
other upper three terraces where Buddha effigies are confined in domes with wholes are called Arupadhatu,
symbolizing human beings that have been free from lust, appearance and shape. The top part that is called
Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.
Each terrace has beautiful relief panels showing how skillful the sculptors were. In order to understand
the sequence of the stories on the relief panels, you have to walk clockwise from the entrance of the
temple. The relief panels tell the legendary story of Ramayana. Besides, there are relief panels
describing the condition of the society by that time; for example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting
the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of navigation in
Bergotta (Semarang).
All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect Buddha's teachings. For the reason, this temple functions as
educating medium for those who want to learn Buddhism. YogYES suggests that you walk through each narrow
passage in Borobudur in order for you to know the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in
the tenth century once visited this temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4
centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.
Just functional biking in Oslo and surroundings is rare. If people have to travel for school or work, they choose for car, public transport or just walking rather than traveling by bike. Maybe this is because of the many present hills.
On the other hand, there is a lot of sporty cycling.

This is the box that the Disabled Guy built for my friends who play various historical sea captains at the renaissance faire.
Now, part of the discussion with me on what it had to look like (and I showed him photos of the previous box- which looked like a little coffin), he asked: "What if I made it look like a treasure chest?"
Well, here we are. This treasure chest is very light (I can lift it easily and today, I'm in flareup mode), and as solid as a brick. The handles are garage door lift handles (we discussed strength/comfort with someone who builds garage doors), the hinges aren't as decorative as he wanted (those were too big to fit on the box). The latch was pure luck (we spotted it as we were walking away from the hinge section at Home Depot). All the hardware is from The Home Depot and not a craft store, so it is solid and as well as decorative.

Watch this demonstration of the elegant and highly functional Rollglass+ (Red Dot Award Winner) sliding glass door system with smooth door glides, wide passage ways free of floor tracks, and the Klein Soft Closing System that eliminates door slamming and door bounce back. Click here for more images and information about the Rollglass+ installation at Abanca. https://klein-usa.com/commercial-projects/rollglass-abanca/ Northwest Spain's leading financial institution is called ABANCA. ABANCA is unique in that this institution not only offers traditional retail banking at its 627 locations across Spain but also a range of digital and online offerings. ABANCA opted for a major redesign of its office concept. One of their goals was to create spaces that were more open, comfortable and efficient for both clients and bank staff alike. ABANCA also wanted to create more inviting office spaces that foster a more collaborative atmosphere. They sought to better reflect their corporate philosophy and brand identity. The end result was a concept for a bold new communal space. Now in the implementation stage, this new concept centers around the proper utilization of well-lit, open and bright areas. These spaces feature commercial help desks, informal places for meetings as well as interactive unit areas. The new ABANCA concept is highly versatile. The ABANCA office space concept also quickly and easily accommodates privacy needs for clients and bank employees when the need arises. Each office space includes at least two meeting rooms that are separated from the general, open space via glass front and sliding doors. These glass front and sliding doors rest on a single recessed KLEIN ROLLGLASS+ glide. This approach allows for completely private yet not separate spaces. Clients and bank staff can benefit from privacy without forgoing elegance or spatial continuity. The project selected a highly minimalist ROLLGLASS+ application that was recessed into a drop ceiling. Since there is no lower profile for the fixed glass panel, the end result is a system that is virtually invisible. ABANCA seamlessly achieved their goal to transform their office spaces and achieve a free-flowing feeling. Now, the transition between open spaces and meeting rooms is both visually and physically effortless. Pre-existing architectural barriers have been minimized with striking results. ABANCA opted for a customized floor-to-ceiling glass, set atop smooth and completely silent door glides. The design allows for ample natural light to reach every corner of the office environment. Wide passageways free of floor tracks further add to the overall elegance of the clean and highly-functional design. The Klein Soft Closing System also features as a key component of the project. Thanks to this braking system, both door slamming and door bounce back have been eliminated. Through the ROLLGLASS+ System, complete architectural integration was achieved. The ROLLGLASS+ System's pre-frame track allows for precision and a beautiful and essentially invisible installation. The elegance and diverse features of ROLLGLASS+ made it an ideal choice for the ABANCA office space project. This year, ROLLGLASS+ won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award: Product Design 2018. Additionally, ROLLGLASS+ also had the distinction of being a finalist in the ADI-FAD Foundation 2018 DELTA Awards.

"À une certaine époque existaient les cabines téléphoniques.
- Les quoi?
- Les cabines téléphoniques. Elles servaient à nous isoler pour entretenir des conversations téléphoniques.
-Nous isoler? On pouvait juster parler au téléphone dans les cabines téléphoniques?
-Oui. On parlait seulement au téléphone.
-On textait pas en même temps?
-Non.
-On pouvait pas parler au cell et à la caissière en même temps?
-Non. On parlait à une personne à la fois.
-Rien qu'une?
-Rien qu'une. On faisait une chose à la fois.
-Dull."
Remember the time when we went in these phone cabins simply to phone. To do one thing at a time - speak to somebody on the phone. With today's cell phone, we speak, purchase, text, scroll, walk, eat, speak to another person, boot our computer, buy stocks and fall in love (or so we think) all in the same conversation.
What decent speed looked like a decade and a half ago.
