On the left is where I do my design work (Illustrator is open with an infographic, and InDesign is open with next month’s newsletter), and on the right is all my social media work (yes, that’s 10 tabs open).
I'm in hardware experimentation mode, trying out a mac keyboard and a "dedicated-to-code" screen which is flipped 90 degrees.
this is what i have been working on over the last few days. this is by no means the real layout -- i just wanted to spread out all the pieces on my bed to get a visual of how many more i need to make. (and wembley kept trying to attack the squares so i had to work fast.) as with most of my works-in-progress, i'm already sick of the color scheme. purple is one of my least favorite colors, but when i started this project last year i wanted to not have to buy any fabrics specifically for it and for some reason i have a lot of lavender fabric. i think i just need to add way more green/turquoise blocks so there is less purple/lavender overall...
also, i guess i started this project almost a year ago exactly: flickr.com/photos/mylaar/135032824/

In Morocco, roughly one-third of the population is employed in agriculture, another one-third make their living in mining, manufacturing, and construction, and the remainder are occupied in the trade, finance, and service sectors. Not included in these estimates is a large informal economy of street vendors, domestic workers, and other underemployed and poorly paid individuals.
I know it's only April, but it never too early to start working on a Holiday Train.
This is a mash-up between Pieter Post/BOR BR 38.2 and G12. At this point I'm trying to figure out how to power it: either Circuit Cubes or L motor tucked somewhere in the boiler?

the base of the necklace is ready but I'm still working on the little extras.
the mesh knot and fabric pom pom both have round back pins attached which can slide onto the mesh band. I plan on wearing mine with a large grouping of the knots.
One night a week I teach a basic Excel class to adult ed students. My class has three people in it all of whom have day jobs, or hope to. I teach my class at the vocational high school, in the same classroom I have drop-in time in earlier in the day. I like this job because I'm always awake for it and I can wear whatever I want.
My first 365 Days photo. Today is the Friday before Memorial Day, which means I have loads of time to myself today.

Mr. Mean 2.0 update. We ran into a snag cleaning up the engine bay. For some reason a previous owner had sprayed on some type of sound coating or rust coating in the bay. I thought it was latex house paint in some spots. It is thick and extra hard to get off. So we've resorted to old school , grinding wheel and wire brush. And since we doing this much we've decided to go down to bare metal and smooth fender wall in some spots This has added many hours to the project, but in the end will look even better than plan A. But, on the bright side, there is absolutely no rust to be found anywhere...

Former Army Wickham 'Type 40 MkII' petrol-mechanical railcar 'Army 9040' (Works No.6963 built in 1955) soon after arrival at the Quainton Railway Society sidings at Quainton Road, Buckhinghamshire on 29th August 1970. It had latterly been used on the Bicester Military Railway, but originally supplied to the Eskmeals Ranges railway in Cumbria and had arrived at Quainton on 25th June .
The Buckinhamshire Railway Centre stocklist reads as follows:
The largest of the Wickhams at Quainton, No. 9040 was originally owned by the Ministry of Defence. This was built by D.Wickham & Co. Ltd., Ware, in January 1955 as Car No. 6963, and was supplied to the Ministry of Supply, P & E Establishment, Eskmeals, Cumberland. It was later transferred to the MOD Bicester depot.
The frame consists of a double H section of channels with two longitudinal members carrying a Ford V-8 engine and the gearbox. From this frame there are angle iron stanchions supporting the floor, side sheets and the roof. The vehicle sides are of mild steel sheet including the doors which are faced internally with upholstered board. The roof is also made of steel plate carried on the cab body pillars.
The rail car is carried on two axles running in roller bearing boxes sprung by leaf springs with shackles mounted on the main frames. Lateral motion is restrained by a system of radius link arms. The running wheels are pressed steel, flanged and they have comparatively wide tyres. At both ends there are Wickham type central buffers.
It was purchased by a QRS member in April 1969 following an advertisement in Exchange and Mart. A scrap dealer in Abingdon had brought it from the Ministry of Defence, Bicester where it had been used until about 1967 for passenger transport between the station and various parts of the depot. In 1968, still carrying its number ARMY 9040, it was disposed of to the Abingdon dealer, whence it arrived at Quainton Down Yard on 25th June 1969. An inspection revealed a broken drive shaft, an unusable battery, no starting handle and various other work before it could become mobile again. This was tackled and the rail car was used by small groups of members visiting the site, and more humbly for taking rubble up to the end of the long siding. In 1973 it suffered impact damage, and was put to one side. In time the damage was repaired, some electrical repairs made, and partial repainting completed.
The controls of the vehicle are rod linked except the brake which has vacuum assistance. There is a vacuum storage reservoir in which the vacuum is induced from the inlet manifold. The foot brake pedals work valves supplying two slave cylinders, one on each side of the engine and the brakes are rigged to shoes operating onto the inside of the tyres on the running wheels.
The transmission from the four speed crash gearbox on 9040 is through a propeller shaft with two universal couplings into the differential which is on the leading axle. Engine cooling is by water and the system includes two radiators which are mounted one at each end of the car. The front bonnets have expanded metal grilles to direct air flow and to protect the radiators.
The driving controls of the car are duplicated at each end on the same side, but there is one handbrake and the gear stick is taken by the driver from end to end and inserted into a socket as required. On the dashboards are speedometers, fuel gauges, ammeters and oil and ignition lights. There are also switches for the horn and head, tail and interior lights, starter, choke, and a light confirming engagement of the gear after changing ends. The bonnet ends have two CAV headlights and a centrally mounted tail lamp. Twin electric operated windscreen wipers are fitted and all fixed windows are glazed with safety glass. The four doors have drop lights.
Inside there are the two fixed driving seats, a bench of three seats at the end and four reversible seats in the middle of the car. These four seats can be taken out and a section of the lino covered wood floor removed to give access to the engine covers.
The paint work of the railcar reflects its Army origin, for the inside is dark green with a white roof and the outside is finished in black below the body and green for the body shell, grey roof and wasp ends. Stencilled on the centre if the frames is the weight 2tons 19 hundredweight.
