A bit of digital iPad fun with the Juxtaposer app, combining pics I took of my husband and a snail, and a NASA/Hubble public domain image. The ???s were added with the TypeDrawing app, and colors enhanced with the Vintique app.
...or at least that's how she was introduced to me.
Hopefully the last shot of this place so I can move on and start processing some new stuff from different venues. Still have all my stuff from Bristol's Doors Open day last weekend on the camera and haven't even looked at that yet.
I recently got this interesting product. It's a computer that comes with a basic interface so you can code and run basic language programs.
The main feature it's that you can play famicom games as well. It comes with two turbo controllers.
Back in the eighties the MSX computer was very successful in Japan, Europe and South America, Sony release a model called MSX Hit Bit, maybe this is a Chinese attempt to copy an MSX computer.
It's very cool and it has output for a printer and a tape recorder.
The skies cleared up at the end of the day. Hooray!

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.

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!

For monaw2008...she requested word blocks - one of our name and another of our choice. They were really fun to try and to make!
A bit of a summer project - that took longer than expected.
Taking two redundant Hornby Mk IIa BFK vehicles and splicing them together a reasonable representation of a corridor first can be made. This can then be used as the basis for Test Car 6.
Finished!
I sharpened up the iris a bit, in photoshop. Purism just isn't important to me, sometimes.
I achieved this by stacking all four of my macro filters and shooting with my 70-200mm lens basically ON my eye. haha. I can get a lot closer if I zoom in, but it's difficult to get a good focus without being able to see through the viewfinder. Maybe when I find a willing model, I'll get closer.
Nadia was a little sick yesterday. There seems to be a mystery fever sweeping the nation - I know at least a dozen kids across the country that have been down with it! No other symptoms, just a high fever and crabbiness/clinginess. The highest her fever got was 103.4, and that's with Motrin every 4 hours. We did a couple cooling baths and she got lots of popsicles (that and cheese was all she'd eat). But then this morning she woke up perfectly well with no fever. So whatever it was, it was short-lived and my wild girl is back.
A bit after my time, Naruto was the Dragonball-esque show for those about a generation after me. It's an incredibly popular series, with much merchandise over the years. Tamashii Nations actually did a series of Figuarts for the characters, much like with Dragonball.
Also, much like with Dragonball, the popularity was enough such that there was a 2.0 line developed for the Naurto franchise.
Now while I did not actually watch most of this series, I have seen a few episodes and for sure I have my favourite characters. The sequel series - Boruto - I have not a clue about. So it should be no surprise that I eagerly ordered the three main characters - Naurto, Sasuke, and Sakura - once they were solicited.
From what I can tell, the 2.0 bodies are vast improvements over the 1.0 bodies, and it appears there were lessons learned from the Dragonball lineup applied to here.
First up is Naruto himself. I don't believe any of the figures were from the first season, so the depiction of the characters is of their slightly older forms. For the asking price of 3,500 Yen, I have to say he comes with quite a few accessories, including a weapon (Kunai) as well as a Rasangen effect. Facial expressions cover a wide range of emotions, and are perfect for the character.
Now if someone could kindly explain to me why the set doesn't come with a dedicated set of hands for "Thousand Years of Pain".
Range of motion is wonderful and can easily match anything a 2.0 Dragonball can do, without having the bulky pants that accompany most of their catalogue. Quite a few dynamic poses can be achieved with the figure, and the head actually has quite a bit of tilt, adding to the fun of getting this figure into various poses.
Paint and Build Quality are pretty much what you expect from a Figuarts, so there are no surprises when I say things are good across the board.
Now.. do I army build this figure for Shadow No Jitsu, or do I wait for the Sexy version?
On display now at Two Bit Circus Micro Amusement park in Downtown Los Angeles.
Brent Bushnell and I got to talking about building a minifigure scale arcade. We hashed out the elements required to bring an 80s arcade to life and I began amassing the 4,180 pieces to make the build.
No expense was spared for the sake of authenticity. The main goal of this set is to evoke a feeling of being back in time, standing in front of your favorite video game, with the stakes sky-high, and the weight of 40 quarters in your pocket. That feeling wouldn't be complete without the sense of diversity in the arcade itself and the smell of mediocre pizza wafting past you as you go to the redemption center to cash in your tickets.
No purchase neccessary to visit the display at Two Bit!

Some bits found today, although I haven't had time to visit my contacts, let alone do any engraving! sorry ;-(,
Anyway, the roller was a present from my friend Phillip, the rest I got at the boot sale today. I am not sure they are all for wood engraving and may be metal working but should do the job the same. One is a mystery.
The funny thing is when I asked the price the gent said 'Oh you must be ****, Harry (another trader) told me you would buy them, said the lady with the dogs' My fame is spreading lol.
