This wire sculpture was a project for our class. I absolutely love this! And, frankly, I never knew I could do it! I had a few ideas before this, but it all failed. So, I just had a sudden brain fart! I said, "Why don't I just make an elephant!" So I did! Then along the way, I thought that just one elephant would be boring and lonely. So I added a baby elephant to be by her side. :) So yeah. I made it overnight. Remind me not to cram again! Gaaah! >.< I tell ya, it wasn't easy making this. Well, I'm thankful I got a good grade for this. It was worth it. :)
Hope you guys like it! :D
This piece is called "Michelles"
Inspired by my friend, Michelle. She adores elephants! Love you, Mich! Miss you! :)
"Be loud and proud as an Engineer" - Roger Collins-Woolcock, 2011
This is a quote from one of the guest speakers at an engineering leadership reception I attended tonight and it really spoke volumes to me. For the past 5 years I have been making the transition to becoming a loud and proud gay man (from being just a shy and ashamed gay boy), and so the relevance of this message was not lost on me.
We engineers often downplay our achievements, and the public responds in kind. Many people don't realise that engineers are everywhere in society, and they have a role in influencing every part of society. Let's say you're reading this on a bus, so look around you and tell me how many things are influenced by engineers? If you just said "well there's the bus, and the roads it drives on" then you wouldn't be alone.
But in reality, asides from the obvious mechanical engineering influencing the bus functioning as a vehicle and the civil engineering influencing the road design, engineering also played a part in the design of the seats, the lighting, the doors, the payment system, the speaker system, the minimal frame allowing you to see so much out the windows, the hearing aid allowing an old lady at the front to hear the annoying kids at the back, the stroller holding the crying baby, the 50 smart phones that people are playing with and the 50 sets of earphones attached.
Outside, yes there is the road, but there is also the stormwater drainage, electrical, telephone, gas, optical fibre, sewerage running under the road, there is street lighting, signage, traffic lights, those things in the middle of the road that make a noise when you run over them, buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc.
As well as developing western infrastructure and conveniences, Engineers are also involved in humanitarian causes, which was a major focus of tonights event.
Alan Noble is an engineer, and also the Director of Engineering for Google Australia and New Zealand. He told us about the google maps initiatives that have recently played an influential part in the post disaster recovery efforts in many parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA, etc. He also didn't mind mentioning the millions of dollars that Google provides to not-for-profit charities and other ventures.
Lizzie Brown is an engineer, and also the CEO of Engineers Without Borders (EWB). She talked about the programs that EWB runs throughout the world, building the capacity of small villages by sharing technology and expertise to improve their livelihood. She also talked about finding your place in the massive profession of engineering, such that you can have the most influence and create the most beneficial change to the world around you.
Finally, Roger Collins-Woolcock is an engineer, and also the Director of Cardno NSW/ACT and New Zealand. Cardno is a global engineering consultancy and services provider that is involved in physical and social infrastructure. It is the biggest environmental consultancy in the USA and provides related services throughout the world.
Un dels projectes europeus que es desenvolupen al Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) és el projecte Montblanc.
Un ordinador és com una calculadora molt sofisticada i sovint s'utilitzen per fer càlculs que ens serveixen, entre d'altres, predir el temps meteorològic, determinar la qualitat de l'aire, simulacions de biologia molecular o simulacions de mecànica de fluids.
Malauradament aquests càlculs sovint són molt costosos. Fins i tot per a un ordinador. Això significa que suposen molt de temps dur-los a terme. A vegades, el temps no és un recurs negociable: imagineu què passaria si calcular la predicció del temps d'aquí a tres dies tardés una setmana a fer-se!
Per això existeix un segment de la informàtica anomenat «computació d'altes prestacions» (de l'anglès "High Performance Computing", sovint abreviat HPC).
En HPC el que es fa és construir i dissenyar superordinadors, que cada cop siguin més potents i per tant més ràpids. Però massa sovint un superordinador potent significa un superordinador que consumeix molta energia. A tall d'exemple, mireu la llista Top 500 que recull els superordinadors més potents del món. El primer consumeix al voltant de 7 MW (això són 7000 kW, compareu-ho amb casa vostra com a molt podeu consumir 4,4 kW), el segon en consumeix 12 MW. En canvi el número 7 només consumeix 0,8 MW.
I aquí és on vol incidir el projecte Montblanc. L'objectiu d'aquest projecte és construir un superordinador que sigui competitiu (o sigui, segurament no serà el més potent de tots) mentre manté un consum raonable.
L'estratègia per fer-ho, a Montblanc, consisteix en usar processadors similars als que es troben en els telèfons intel·ligents d'avui dia. Aquests processadors no poden gastar molt, ja que les bateries durarien poc, però cada cop ofereixen més rendiment.
A Montblanc, a més, s'utilitzen GPUs (Graphical Processing Units, processadors especialitzats en dibuixar gràfics 3D a la pantalla). Les GPUs són particularment eficients ja que poden donar molta potència de càlcul amb una despesa energètica relativament baixa.
El grup de «Heterogeneous Computing» del BSC estaven enregistrant un timelapse construint una versió reduida d'un supercomputador usant diversos Carma Devkit. Aquí a la foto n'han apilat quatre.
Aquest kit incorpora un processador NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 ARM Cortex A9 Quad-Core (com el que porta la tauleta tàctil ASUS Transformer Prime) i una GPU NVIDIA® Quadro™ 1000M.
This should count for at least 2 servings of veggies, don't you think??? Especially since some Vodkas are made from potatoes and this Bloody Mary is made with Vegetable juice. I know that tomatoes are technically a fruit, but I still think of them as a veggie and the celery is definitely a veggie.

This started out as a tortured tee shirt I had laying around for quite some time. I cut it into thin strips and sewed the ends to a strip of extra jersey left over from the sleeves. Then I braided the strips and sewed up the other end with another sleeve. Then I put my hair up in a loose bun and tied the headband below the bun and tucked the ends under. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but I think I will keep experimenting until I perfect it. Maybe next time I'll use a hot pink shirt!
The U.S. Military Academy hosted Projects Day April 30, with fifteen USMA departments and students from four other colleges participating in over 250 presentations. Senior class members presented their senior thesis, capstone projects, or research activities in either an individual or collective capacity. Students presented to fellow cadets, faculty, clients, and, in some instances, to a group of guest evaluators. Highlights included capstone design projects, competition projects, thesis defenses, poster displays, various individual and group performances, film screenings, and presentations on various topics relevant to the Army and the world.

The theme of this project is "The Fruits of the Spirit," from the Bible verse Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version (NIV)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
This verse refers to the spiritual gifts that a follower of Christ receives and develops over time. I chose the image of the cross for "Goodness", as I am reminded by it to sacrifice a "me first" attitude and put God and others first in the same way that Christ laid down his life to save me.

Never too old for a toy! This is a bit hard to fly, but I will get the hang of it. Doing another 365 photo project, had no passion for photography last year, hope this project will rekindle my creativeness.
On the Joecustoms site we had a group customizing project that was called Project '84. The idea being that it is 1983 and we had to make new G.I. Joe and Cobra figures for 1984 and we could only use existing tooling (the first year Joe and Cobras) I went with Firefly here,

This is a project started over a year ago in Helen Wilson's tuesday night class. I work on it occasionally. (I did not work on it the 10 months we were in france.) This kind of thing is a lot harder for me than depicting something I can see with my eyeballs as opposed to my mind's eye. I have recently solved some technical problems that were sapping the painting of all the fun. I will be picking up the pace on it and when done I'll post again. I took these pics for silliness sake.

Photometry is the science of light and candela is the unit for luminous intensity. With this in mind, the newly re-opened Candela Project Gallery is the latest bright spot in Munich’s cultural landscape.
ПРАЗДНИК БЛАГОВЕЩЕНИЯ ПРЕСВЯТОЙ БОГОРОДИЦЫ
7 апреля 2023 года, в праздник Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, день преставления святителя Тихона, благочинный Геленджикского церковного округа, настоятель собора иерей Максим Пьянков совершил Божественную литургию святителя Иоанна Златоуста в Андреевском кафедральном соборе города Геленджика. Ему сослужили штатные священники собора иерей Сергий Гусев, иерей Роман Моисеенко и иерей Василий Колчар.
Богослужебные песнопения исполнил хор Андреевского кафедрального собора города Геленджика (регент Людмила Телегина).
По традиции после богослужения в праздник Благовещения настоятель собора иерей Максим Пьянков вместе с духовенством собора и благочестивыми верующими выпустил в небо голубей со ступеней Андреевского кафедрального собора.
Ah, if there had beena Project Runway back in the 1980s!!! Here I am, looking very designerish, creating a wedding dress for a friend, Julia, who wanted a simple but elegant dress. Being a costume designer, I was inspired by the 1930s, and I designed a cream satin charmeuse dress, with a bias cut skirt and top with dolman sleeves, a dip in the back and bugle & crystal bead embroidery around the neckline.
Here we are at a fitting at the dressmakers studio, owned by my friend Joy. It was called "By Hand" and specialized in custom dressmaking down in Rancho Palos Verdes

#307 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Barcelona
Result: Day 1
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 & Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook
Location: apartment in Barcelona
Note: The next 23 drawings are reflections of my trip to Spain, Dublin and Scotland. It's a combination sketchbook / journal. Not all of the pages contain writing ....those are yet to be filled in because while I did make a point of doing a drawing every day I really didn't have time to also fill in the blanks with words...those are to come. I just needed to get these posted so I could get my daily drawings back on track. :)
