I invited XING's UX team to visualise their highlights of 2013. Great fun!

Everything is correct, as I am not off the ground! Look at that outdoor temp of 75 degrees f, Bay Area temp was sunny and wonderful. Temp in car was 85 f.

Elevation and speed (ground speed). Have to read the elevation vertically and the speed horizontally. Max was 2047 elevation and 136 mph speed.

 

Hey, I'm kinda on time this year. 2017 has been quite a year, although it's kind of sad to realize I'm making less and less MOCs every year. 21, but this time I included some tablescraps as they've actually turned out to be some of my most popular MOCs this year. To be fair though, I did make like 50 something Brickheadz too, some of which I haven't even posted yet. 2017 may go down in history here as the Year of the Brickheadz.

2016 Recap | 2015 Recap

This messy-looking thing is the wax-sealed paper capacitor itself. You can see a bit of the foil at the top. They used wax-impregnated kraft paper as the dielectric, and either foil or a plated coating as the electrode.

2023 was a sporadic year for me with regard to MOC building.

I started the year finishing The Wayfarer's Den with John as a Brickscalibur entry. And I'm super proud of the result, it's now my favorite of our collabs. Continuing in the castle vein, I revamped my candle maker's shop for a Guilds of Historica challenge.

 

Then moved into space for the Classic Era Spaceship contest on EB. Followed by two rovers in Febrovery - one of which was for a cool collab with Aron and Marin.

Didn't manage any other builds till the RogueOlympics provided its usual inspiration.

In April I was able to join the Eurobricks event in Billund which was a super fun time and let me hang out with some builders I had only known through forums.

 

After that it was on to preparing for the Summer Joust. John and I managed two small collabs as some of the prizes, and my series for the team category pushed me into trying a new genre with some Elven and Dwarven props.

Hosting was a joy, and somehow you all managed even more entries than last year!

 

Completing a home purchase and moving in kept me very occupied over the summer and into the fall.

But a visit from John made a great time to test out my new build space and resulted in four sizable models: Falchion - 55 for SHIPtember, Buckle's Mining Outpost and Remnants of the Woods for Wandering Skies, and Lakeside Chapel for the Colossal Castle Contest. We also made it to Skaerbaek for a day which is always a great event. Among all of that I managed to squeeze in a few Vic Vipers for Novvember.

And to conclude the year I participated in the annual Bauble Exchange on Roguebricks.

 

Ended with 28 builds in total, 7 of which were collabs.

 

Personal Favorites:

The Wayfarer's Den, Falchion - 55, and Remnants of the Woods

 

Most popular models:

The Wayfarer's Den - 41 comments, 491 faves

SJ Fantasy Heights Prize - 15 comments, 251 faves

Remnants of the Woods - 13 comments, 238 faves

Wax and Wick - 11 comments, 240 faves

 

On the product side, I had 5 products released across three different themes:

21343 Viking Village

76994 Sonic's Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge

21247 The Axolotl House

21253 The Animal Sanctuary

21255 The Nether Portal Ambush

As a longtime castle fan, The Viking Village was extra special to work on and I really enjoyed bringing Brickhammer's idea to completion.

 

Overall there was a huge amount to be thankful for last year, and I'm looking forward to what 2024 has in store.

Thanks everyone for your support and if you had any particular favorites from my 2023 builds I would love to know which they are!

Dolls that have arrived and those still to come. Hoping for lottery luck to win that Poppy fashion.

Dedicated to everyone who made the past year so special.

Here I need to replace all these ancient wax-paper capacitors with modern film capacitor equivalents. The replacements are jury-rigged so I could test the functionality.

Supergirl recap in season 2 of episode 16 the music meister arrives & things go south for kara & mon-el because there has the biggest surprise. Likewise ended up being a huge liar this week was Lyra, whose named even seems like "liar," so I'm somewhat kicking myself for not seeing this contort coming. Winn thought he and his new sweetheart were simply having some pure, hot fun by breaking into a historical center, yet when Winn discovered that a Van Gogh had been stolen — and that Lyra was advantageously not found in the security film — he knew he'd been played. The greatest amazement — yet just to Kara, obviously — was that Mon-El is really the Prince of Daxam, a title affirmed by the baffling royals now known to be his folks, King Lar Gand (played by Kevin Sorbo) and Queen Rhea (played by Teri Hatcher).

(At a certain point, Kara even revealed to her sister, "I loathe him at this moment.") But this is still Kara we're discussing, so after a speedy talk with the ruler, she was upbeat to assist in persuading Mon-El to come back to a now-accommodating Daxam as the substance of its confident future. (Or, then again, as Rhea said in her best Donald Trump, to "make Daxam awesome once more!") At last, Mon-El faced his folks ("I wish you no malevolence, however you ought to leave this planet and stay away forever"), yet despite everything it'll set aside some opportunity to win back Kara's trust, considering that not even this epic discourse was sufficient to persuade her to take him back.

First of all, big thanks to Janey, Jeff, Jude, Brandon and everyone else who make Brickfete such a great event. While there may come a year when I won't be travelling to any cons, Brickfete will always be my first and foremost priority.

 

To the Atlantic Canadian contingent: Jean-Marc, Debbie and Patrick, it was great to see you all again.

 

To all my relay teammates: Grey team ftw!

 

To Carys, Julie and Kellie, my co-mosaic mischief makers: great fun again this year.

 

To Simon: thanks for sharing the 'sandbox' on Saturday night, see you in Virginia.

 

To Julie: thanks for the opportunity to take home a piece of my favorite MOC.

 

To Chris: while I can't say for sure if your ticket won me the karma raffle, I'll say it did for the sake of a good story. #besttradeever

 

To those whom I regularly see at Brickfete but not this year: your transgression is forgiven, but let's not make it a habbit, okay? ;-)

  

Shortly after this shot, I dropped my lens cap into the stream. I had another handy but watched helplessly as my Nikon lens cap floated away. (best viewed large)
