closeup of 4-5 days' wind movement, from Helsinki
via sensors and Processing, into form
Wind movement measurement data (wind direction, velocity and temperature) was used to generate a 3d form, which was then cut out of wood.
( Digital wind meets wood :)
The wind line's direction is the compass direction of the wind, the wind's velocity is translated into the sculptural/formal wind line's direction. And, the wind's temperature is translated into the wind's height. The plateau represents 0°c. When the wind line is above, the temperature is somewhere above zero degrees, when the wind is cold, it digs into the wood surface.
The project is made possible via (Processing and) a kind cooperation between the Media Lab and School of Design/Paja (special thanks Hannu, the machine master!) Of the Helsinki Aalto University/Art & Design campus.
The data very generously comes from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's Testbed Helsinki Project.
we all sometimes wanted a place to disappear completely . necklace made of felt and fimo.

Since I can see that the view is aligned with Nicollet Mall, and I can cross that axis with the runway I landed on, it is possible to find out where I was flying over to take this photo! :-)
This cutie was bouncing about my kitchen. I approached in a calm, authoritative fashion, while speaking softly, and convinced it that I was not malevolent. Twenty minutes after release, I was in the back yard and it returned, scrutinizing me at a distance ranging from 5 to 15 feet for a period of 4 to 5 minutes.
**Its plumage is best appreciated in the 'large' size.**
Life is good.
A bit of research shows it to be a female Calliope Hummingbird.
Closeup of the 1967 1.5 litre head being used on Duane's car. Same port configurations as a 1.9 head, but the chambers are smaller, and the original valves are smaller too. I've fitted 1.85" intake and 1.50" exhaust valves (small block Chevy, made by Manley), with appropriate Crower springs and titanium retainers to allow for 8500 rpms with a safety cushion. However this engine has a much smaller cam than the original intent, so rpms are limited to about 7500. Chambers are unshrouded for added flow, compression ratio is a bit over 11:1 with the flat top pistons, and the head has been milled .030"/.75 mm.
Close up of a home made instrument that kept cropping up on my trip around Rajasthan. Does anyone know what it is?
Experiment with the macro settings on my new camera. My old one couldn't take a closeup quite this well.
