This was actually done first, but Laptop Mount Version 1.0 did not work up to standards. Remember this is going in a jeep and must be able to handle the occasional offroad venture
Kiddo wanted to be Ahsoka Tano, a character from Star Wars: Clone Wars.
Add some white tights and boots and this should work fine. (There is more to the headpiece, too.)
Oh, and it's pretty much all recycled. The headpiece was made from an old pillowcase, the body from a t-shirt plus some scrap fabric from the stash; the sash and wrist cuffs from an old pair of Kiddo's pants plus some felt.
'Color Search' sketch:
I found inspiration in the 'Pixel Path' Processing work done by Craig Mackenzie, and wanted to try my hand at it:
blog.craig-mackenzie.com/2008/02/25/pixel-path-my-prelimi...
In this sketch, it isolates every 5th pixel, and if it fist a certain HSB criteria, it finds every matching pixel in the image, and draws a line to it.

Looks like we made it after all.
Below that scuffed aluminum dwell a veritable clown car of wire bulk. And you know what? That bulk makes some damn fine sound. Now onto the 1V/Octave keyboard controller as I wait for my temperature controlled resistors to arrive by post.

Sorry for the huge lot of photos. There are 17! This was a big used Re-ment lot. I was disappointed that some sets were missing great pieces, but there were some complete sets, too, and some cute Rilakkuma grocery items.
Ft. Buchanan, PR – Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernandez, US Army Reserve – Puerto Rico Commanding General, promotes Spec. (P) Jorge Martinez to the rank of Sergeant, in a special gathering of all the members of the command at the command’s headquarters, Sept. 8, 2013.

“I feel very happy, excited and proud to complete one of my goals in my military career. It was such an honor to be promoted by the General, not everybody have this opportunity. I will recommend my subordinates to keep with their hard work and fight to reach and complete their goals. Anyone can be a Sergeant but not everyone can be a Non Commissioned Officer, I am and NCO, Hoah!” said a proud Martinez.
Nice shot of the cockpit - what I see from the riding position.
Took some getting used to not having cables in the way, but quickly enough I was getting a good stretched-out position over the 120mm Cinelli 1R stem and Giro d'Italia bars.
For most of the ride, I was experimenting with hand position and found I really enjoyed stretching out best with my palms directly on top of the hoods.
The dimensional embroidery class with Arlee Barr is almost over. Here are some closeups of the elements of the design. Last step coming up is to attach a border/backing piece and a hanging sleeve.
1998 Zurich frame built from Reynolds 853 steel, new and old components. 2x9-speed with old-school standard 53/39 rings and Dura Ace down-tube shifters. Gotta get stronger.

My first proper road bike, and it's a goodie.

Reed College, Portland, Oregon April 14th - 18th, 2003.
My LDD work in progress, restarted after about a year or so of it just being the engines. I guess it was the whole Cuusoo thing with the Lego RIfter that got me motivated once again.
Town Hall Hilversum, the Netherlands
In the Town Hall of Hilversum, architect Dudok language manages the vertical and horizontal volumes, the set of masses against hollow, flat roofs floating and monumentality. This remarkable and in many ways unique structure, whose first sketches were made in 1924, is considered the masterpiece of brilliant but anti avant-garde architect’s career. When the building was completed in 1931, the public embraced this example of modern architecture, for its balance between form and function, and it seemed traditional in composition, fine craftsmen and high quality finishes and materials used. But above all, it was praised for its monumentality. Some critics, however, felt that the building had an anti – structural arrangement, which was proportionally irresponsible in their ways and accused of diluting Dudok modernist designs or be halfway modernism, playing another contemporary, rather than create a formal language itself. By insisting that its architecture lacked a specific style, critics suggested that their designs were not fluent, thus limited to a strict formula for the entire architecture. However, the end result becomes a sculptural expression of a subject composition. It is a testament to the consistent harmonic form, function, art and human need. Hilversum City Council is not only the magnum opus Dudok ‘s career, but also one of the most successful buildings in the history of the modern movement.
The structure consists of load-bearing walls, reinforced concrete floors and concrete lintels above the horizontal windows, while the roof structure in the council chamber is steel. Its balanced masses make a synthesis of functionality and romanticism. Has been criticized, however the arrangement and construction irresponsible proportions addition forms. The use of overhanging eaves, an unusual feature to the Netherlands, and a simple tree -dimensional asymmetric geometry arranged around a square courtyard provide a modern structure while reflecting the medieval municipalities historicism by the presence of a large and a tower room. It is a masonry construction, using, in addition to reinforced concrete and steel beams, yellow bricks specially made for this project, including all facades. Dudok, who also designed the furniture and interior decoration, yellow bricks ordered in special sizes. Some decorative touches were made with blue and green glazed tiles, red tiles strips, black and gold, as the wall facing the columns of the gallery entrance, covered with light blue tiles or dark details on the bases of columns and red in the upper parts. Blue was also used in other decorative details, particularly in the outer columns coating. In the thin elongated interior columns were used and refined golden tiles, highlighting the dark colour of some soils, covered with marbles combinations, like some of the walls in the lobby or the stairwell. Glass is another recurring element in the sophisticated decoration, not only in window openings where clear glass was used, semitransparent, bevelled and stained glass in some gaps, but also excels in the decorative lighting, also designed by the architect.
The building was restored between 1989-1995 by Dutch Van Hoogevest Architects. Restoration costs caused some scandal, as it was at the time the proposal to sell a Mondrian painting from the collection of the city to pay for the restoration.
