Our Maker Art class created a Time Machine this year, inviting you to travel through time from the age of dinosaurs to the 50th century.
Our 4th and 5th graders at the Lycée Français designed their own scenes from the past, present or future, and brought them to life with motion, lights and sounds. They also worked in teams to build interactive features like illuminated keypads, spinners and doors, using the popular Arduino platform.
In our after-school classes, we combine art, technology and storytelling to help children create their own magical worlds. They learn to design their ideas, build them with a variety of tools, animate them with electronics and tell their stories. This unique multimedia course helps them develop their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills -- and builds their confidence that they can help change the world.
This year, we had a really good group of 9 students, ages 8 to 11 -- many of whom had taken our Maker Art classes before. They were very creative and engaged, and did a great job presenting their work at the Lycée Français -- and at Marinovators at the College of Marin on April 22.
This Maker Art class was taught by Fabrice Florin and Edward Janne at the Lycée Français in Sausalito in winter 2017. We met every week for 12 workshops of 90 minutes each, Thursdays at 3:30pm, from January 5 to March 30, 2017. Our teachers are part of the Tam Makers learning community and we prepared materials for this project in our state-of-the-art makerspace at the nearby Tam High School.

Here's one you probably forgot, an obscure little number based off the Mini to give a more luxurious variant to the popular 10ft machine, this being the Riley Elf, but also badged as the Wolseley Hornet.
For all intents and purposes, the Elf and Hornet were mechanically identical to the Mini, using much of the same driving gear. The car differed however by its trim, engines and length, with the same Mini wheelbase of 6.68ft, but an increased platform to 10.7ft to accommodate a separate boot and for a slightly longer cabin. Both cars were also fitted with huge chrome grilles to make them look less mundane than the Mini and more up-market to appeal for the driver who desired more from their small car. The cars had larger-diameter chrome hubcaps than the Austin and Morris Minis, and additional chrome accents, bumper overriders and wood-veneer dashboards. The Riley was the more expensive of the two cars.
Both the Elf and the Hornet went through three engine versions. Initially, they used the 848cc 34hp engine with a single HS2 carburettor, changing to a single HS2 carburettor 38hp version of the Cooper's 998cc in the 1963 Mark II. This increased the car's top speed from 71 to 77mph.
Both cars were built between 1961 and 1969, with production ending with 30,912 Riley Elfs and 28,455 Wolseley Hornets built. Today these cars have quite a cult following, largely due to their novel size and luxury. A Rolls Royce on a 10ft platform!
I was fortunate to be able to witness a rare event - the filling of a train load of peat and its transportation to the distribution point.
Loaded wagons are drawn through the distribution hopper by dragging machines.
This peat is destined for either a power station or fertiliser use.
This traffic is to cease completely in a few years for environmental reasons. The worked out peat fields are likely to become solar or wind generating farms.

I used a little of my tax return to treat myself to a new sewing machine. This is a Brother Innov-ís 80 which received excellent reviews from Consumer Reports and is also pretty darn affordable. The Innov-ís 40 is even cheaper still if you don't want quite as many bells and whistle.
I've sewn two skirts in the past week, as well as a fair bit of just playing around to get to know the machine. So far, I couldn't be happier.

Video projection of Stewart Home talking about the Art Strike in 2004 - shot at Tom McCarthy's flat on Golden Lane Estate, London. Presented as part of Book Works’ ongoing and evolving project ‘Again, A Time Machine’ this is the first US retrospective of Home’s work and features a selection of artwork, including Art Strike Bed, Vermeer II and Becoming (M)other, publications and ephemera and a live performance with Kenneth Goldsmith. Curated by Matthew Higgs. White Columns, 320 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10014.
We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.
Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.
Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.
Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos

The first set of 3 cards in the Studio MIKMIK Pattern Studies Series. Each card is hand printed in two colours using a Gocco PG-11 machine.
This set is titled Saltaire In Stone. The Saltaire in Stone series of pattern studies draw their inspiration from the Italianate architecture found within the UNESCO World Heritage village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire. A wealth of archways, columns and stone flowers can be discovered in the village, a testament to the stonemason’s art.
These are now available in the Studio MIKMIK Etsy shop (see profile page).

Built in 2004 by Grahame Standen Motorsport, using the shell of an ex-works machine, this Group 4 historic spec Escort has an Alan Sherwood-built original all-alloy BDA, producing 254b.h.p. and driving through a direct top ZF gearbox and a fully floating Atlas axle. She was leading Category 2 in the R.A.C. Historic Rally (2013?) until a substantial shunt: a driver error caused the car to roll in Wales. The car was fully repaired to return to the Palace in 2014.

147: I like to work as close to the drill bit as possible. My table only rises so high, so I’m going to raise my work up closer to the tip of the drill bit, by placing the bolster upon a precision 1”X2”X3” block. I'm again double checking to assure the table is square and level, and that all work surfaces are clean, so as to assure a perfect hole. The drilling of this hole is a critical process. I prefer to make smaller movements of the chuck when operating the depth lever on the drill press, so as not to cause any extra unnecessary movements or shaking of the machine. This is why it helps to rest work closer to the tip of the drill bit. Drilling into any material, especially Titanium requires even pressure, and above all patience. Proper drilling is done in small increments, backing the drill bit out, then going a little deeper into the material. Do not go full force in one motion all the way through the material, you are sure to wear out your tools, as well as potentially break a the drill bit off in your material. A broken drill bit stuck in your material could be a major problem, it is also extremely dangerous, imagine a sharp piece of metal flying in your face at high velocity. Remember eye protection! It’s better to be over cautious and take 15 minutes to drill a hole, rather than hurting yourself! Always use new sharp bits and cutting/cooling fluid as needed. It’s a good idea to use a respirator with cutting fluid. These holes will eventually be threaded for a 2-56 screw, so the drill bit to use here is a number 50. Drill bits come in regular, long and short lengths. I prefer the short bits, as they are more than adequate as far as flute length goes; rarely in knife making is any one hole to drill going to be over an inch deep. Also the shorter the drill bit, the more sturdy they are, which also helps eliminate wobble.
This is one lean and mean biking machine. This is a bike courier's bike, waiting patiently for him while he queues up at the bank teller's window. It looks to be customized for strength, lightness and speed. Temp was +1 C. today and the roads are clear.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- U.S. Marines assigned to Delta Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, deliver toys to children living in remote villages of Alaska as part of the Toys for Tots program, Dec. 8. After traveling to a remote hub of villages via aircraft provided by the 144th Airlift Squadron, Alaska Air National Guard, the Marines travel to different villages on snow machines. This year three teams of Marines traveled to numerous villages in the vicinities of Kotzebue, Galena and McGrath. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve with a goal of delivering, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

Hatred is not overcome by hatred; hatred is conquered by love, and so is the order of things from eternity. Unless your name is Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari just let you down by having lunch with his lawyer and then not returning to the negotiating table. The story is of course known to every Ford and Ferrari enthusiast. Ford developed the GT40 and beat Ferrari fair and square at Le Mans. But the chance of ever buying a Ferrari has gone forever since that afternoon. Fortunately, both brands are still going strong today and Ford uses the GT40 every few years as an excuse to put the most extravagant and excellent sports car on the market. The previous Ford GT was actually a slightly larger GT40 with a huge V8 and a supercharger. This generation of Ford GT, on the other hand, is not a retro car but a futuristic spaceship that forgot to return to the pits after a successful race at La Sartre and pulled into your parking space. What a beautiful machine. This 2021 copy is a so-called Carbon Series. This means that the car is slightly lighter than the already very light “standard” Ford GT, the car has extra visible carbon, a Lexan engine compartment cover, no cup holders, carbon wheels, titanium wheel bolts and a stripe over the hood consisting of blank carbon.
The second generation Ford GT, as this car is referred to, is a car built at Multimatic in Canada. The base is a carbon fiber monocoque that is not only extremely stiff but also feather-light. The drive is provided by a 3.5 litre Ford Ecoboost V6. The engine produces 647 hp and enables the car to reach a top speed of no less than 347 kilometres per hour. The car was unveiled in 2016 and Ford immediately announced that it would be taking another shot at victory at Le Mans 50 years later. The Ford GT is therefore also one of the few cars that is basically designed as a race car and not as a street car. This means that for the designers the objectives were very clear in advance: this car must be able to drive as fast as possible at Le Mans and then we must be able to make the car street-legal with not too many adjustments. Finally, it should be noted that this is an almost unique opportunity to obtain a Ford GT Carbon Series. When Ford opened the order books for the GT, it was not the case that everyone could buy such a car, no, buyers had to go through a real application procedure to get a Ford GT. If Ford didn’t think the story was good enough, or the buyer didn’t like the GT, it wasn’t possible to buy one. In addition, buyers of the Ford GT were not allowed to resell the car shortly after purchase.
This copy has German papers and is in absolute mint condition. The car comes with delivery miles and is beautifully executed. Black goes perfectly with the car’s sinister looks. The body is unmistakably recognizable as a Ford GT and yet almost incomparable with its predecessors. The carbon wheels are not only very beautiful but also very light. The finish of the car is of course as you would expect from a top product of this calibre. The paint is beautifully sprayed, the finish on the wheels is exceptional, the panels fit together sublimely everywhere and we are only talking about the exterior of the car. The interior is pure practicality. The steering wheel is equipped with many buttons to operate many vital functions of the car and makes driving the car a breeze. The ergonomics are of course perfect for each other and finding a good seating position is child’s play because the seat cannot be adjusted, but the steering column and the pedal box have to be adjusted. Unlike previous hardcore versions of the Ford GT, the Carbon Series is still equipped with the Ford Sync 3 system. This makes covering longer distances a wonderful activity. Things like air conditioning and an excellent sound system make the party complete.
In short, an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a Ford GT Carbon Series and an absolute top opportunity for the serious investor.
Installation shot. On the right Becoming (M)other. In 2004 I got Chris Dorley-Brown to take portraits of me imitating the poses thrown by my mother in a series of 1966 modelling portfolio photos. We then morphed these with the 1966 photos to create composite portraits. This formed the basis of our collaborative show at T1/2 Artspace (London December 2004/January 2005) with the addition of films we'd each made on our own. The morphs were shown alone in November 2005 at Catalyst Arts in Belfast while I was doing events there, and then again with much else as part of the Hallucination Generation exhibition which I curated at the Arnolfini in Bristol in April 2006.
Presented here as part of Book Works’ ongoing and evolving project ‘Again, A Time Machine’ this is the first retrospective of Home’s work and features a selection of artwork, including Art Strike Bed, Vermeer II and Becoming (M)other, publications and ephemera and a live performance with Kenneth Goldsmith.

W. Notting Co. Demy Alexandra Hand Iron Press - London
Age: 1883, Platen size 18.5" x 24.5", Bed size 21” x 28”
This machine, produced by the W. Notting Co., who are still in business, is a variant of Richard Cope’s Albion design. The Albion was, next to Clymer’s Columbian, extremely popular. In order to maintain interest from the buying printers, many firms decorated their machines.
This version is called an Alexandra and celebrated the 1863 wedding of Denmark’s Princess Alexandra to England’s Prince Albert. Few remain today. Our machine includes Queen Victoria’s coat of arms cast above the platen on the left side and Notting’s name was removed by a type foundry, J. Haddon & Co., who must have bought this machine and resold under their own name, which was a common occurrence at the time. Demy refers to the paper size of 18.5" x 24.5”.

Improving Nailsea and Backwell Station
The Severnside Community Rail Partnership, North Somerset Council and First Great Western are sponsoring improvements at the station. This note outlines what is being undertaken and proposed.
Re-painting the station
Most of the current re-painting work is being undertaken through the Probation Service, as part of their Community Service Programme for offenders. Because work under this scheme is largely confined to weekends, progress is inevitably slow. More work will (weather permitting) be done in late September/early October: where necessary, paint spills will be cleared up and new platform notices will be provided.
Working with local schools
We are working with Backwell schools to brighten up the station by displaying school artwork. The first artwork - silhouettes of local school children - should being going up on the footbridge shortly, and hopefully this will be followed by platform displays.
Car parking
North Somerset Council will be re-marking the car park. This will entail removal of some of the overgrown shrubs in the middle of the car park to provide extra spaces; official spaces will also be marked out, where cars have traditionally parked along some of the internal roads. In total, the number of marked out spaces will be about the same as the number of cars currently accommodated in the car park. To minimise disruption, the remarking will be done over a weekend. North Somerset Council is also working on proposals to extend the car park, but this is a longer term project.
Cycle Parking
As part of the car park re-marking scheme, North Somerset Council will be providing some additional cycle stands.
Bus service
Passengers are reminded that there is now a new local commuter bus service from Nailsea and Backwell to the station. See separate poster for times.
Staffing the station
First Great Western has recently re-introduced staffing, usually from 6.30 until 9.30 on weekdays. Although tickets should normally be purchased from the machines, FGW has confirmed that the intention is to train the Station Assistant on ticket issuing and to provide him with a portable machine. This is very welcome.
Community Notice Board
A community notice board is now available for the display of local news and events.
My Dream Machine. This rig exists only in my imagination. Take an International Pro Star tractor, extend the frame a little bit and mount a brand new Airstream trailer on the frame. If I can come up with a cool quarter of a million dollars, I might just have it built. A slightly flawed Photoshop quickie.
Dessert 2: grilled green pear topped with a paper thin slice of under-ripe pear, pine parfait that's been aerated in a vacuum machine (this was really bubbly and nice), all bound together by a loose pear purée.
The plate was very impressive. Not only was it aesthetically gorgeous (those colours so soothing, the combination so pretty), but the variations of pear - the subtle and not-so-subtle contrasts in textures and flavours - was awesome. Loved this in concept and in execution.
That was before pairing it with the pear and verbena juice, which when taken together, knocked things out of the ball park.
I was feeling a little nostalgic, so I decided to dig up some old work from a couple years ago. Amongst them was this 1:50 model I made for my then-final tectonics project, which was to translate a series of (deliberately) terribly labelled drawings and make a model showing one of three construction methods. In situ, precast and timber frame. (This model being precast).
It was actually my very first attempt at ever casting in plaster, so it proved to be incredibly difficult, but interesting! The most fun part of this process, aside from making a huge mess, was creating the moulds. I transferred the transcript drawings onto scrap pieces of MDF which I then cut out and vacuum formed onto sheets of clear acetate, using a machine. This meant that I could duplicate each floor and facade (effectively the entire building) as many times as I wanted, and achieve a near-perfect finish with every attempt. As great as it would have been to have a little souvenir to take home at the end of semester, I unfortunately had no time to make myself a cute replica trophy model for my bedroom!

In movies about big-city columnists, there's always a moment where our hero stands on a corner and a bus passes by, emblazoned with an ad for their column. Those of us who wrote in smaller markets? We got rack cards for the vending machines. This was mine, but it was version 2.0. The first one misspelled my name. Yes, misspelled my name. "Null," if you're interested. Oh, and the artist added those earrings. The hair? Yet another of the Bad Perms of the '80s.
AS they were leaving the Toowoomba Showgrounds in Glenvale, heading where ever it is they head. Noted some new machines this year.

Indian Jug and water knob are at the left and the Italian parts at the right of this image.
Around 2006 brand new atomics started appearing on the market. Though they didn't exactly look brand new... For many years prior to this the only source of Atomic coffee makers was second hand markets and auction houses. Lucky individuals found one in the attic or at a church sale, but most people had to bid high, and pay through the nose.
However all was not as it seemed with these new machines. Although they were labeled as being Bon Trading (australia) imports of Italian made Atomics- they were very poorly made with a rough, hand finished appearance. Many of them did not work very well, and they were 'not quite right'...
It was soon discovered that these machine were made in India and falsely labeled as being made in 'Italy'. The prices of these dodgy machines dropped rapidly and then they disappeared from the market altogether. Today it is hard to find one of these Indian made Atomics and they are collectible in their own right.
For the collector interested in purchasing an Atomic it is a simple matter to identify one of these fakes. The most prominent difference between these machine and earlier Italian made Atomics is the boiler plug. On the Indian machine this plug sticks out in an ugly fashion. Other obvious differences can be seen in the bakelite parts. These parts are much thicker and are poorly formed compared to vintage Italian machines. The filter basket is distinctive: the holes in it appear to be randomly punched with a nail or similar implement by hand.
These machine are not too bad as a hand finished attempt to replicate the atomic form. It is by no means an easy (or cheap) process. Sand casting the body is an art in itself. It is clear this atomic was reverse engineered from an Italian made Atomic- probably a model dating from the 70's. They copied every detail right down to the label.
The example pictured here works and was actually used to make coffee by its original owners for over 4 years. When they purchased it they were told it 'was made in Italy'. When they complained of the poor quality they were sent another one...
However the machine was marketed deceptively, and we would not recommenced using one to actually to make coffee: they are poorly made from inferior materials. There are rumors the alloy was recycled from old car parts...
this example is in the Ikon Exports collection.
With its 6 cylinder engine sounding so smooth and sweet, and far far quieter than a Singer sewing machine, this gorgeous Mark 1 Triumph GT6 is for me, the epitome of classic British sports cars. Perhaps just lacking the wind in the hair, it is more than made up by the silky smooth power and the burbling exhaust that only the Trimph 6 cylinder engine can produce. And then theres the superb looks of the fastback hatch.........perhaps only matched by the MG and MGB????
this is a face from a ww2 RAF link trainer machine..this dummy now sits where the real-life trainee pilot would have sat..
Lot-9433-6: These Are The Ships And The Men Who Deliver Oil To The Allies. Despite Axis submarines, the U.S. is continuing to deliver oil for the Allied war machine. This success is due chiefly to two things – tankers and men. The tankers carry their own “cargo insurance” – big guns for the U-boats, machine guns for enemy aircraft. The men who man them are tough, fearless and capable of meeting any opposition the enemy has to offer. These pictures, made aboard a U.S. tanker, show the men at work and some of the measures taken to protect them. Shown: On board the tanker, Captain G. Eklund, Merchant Marine, checks the radio direction finder. The instrument helps determine the ship’s position, thus eliminating the use of radio transmitter, from which any enemy sub could spot the ship.

“Robert Blackburn was born on the 26th March 1885 and became one of Britain's first aircraft designers and builders. His first aeroplane to fly did so at Filey in 1910 and he then produced several designs over the next two years. The basic 1912 machine was called the Mercury or the Type D monoplane. It was quite an advanced design for the time with all surfaces fully covered and an engine cowling around the top part of the engine. Although the design looks modern it still retains wing warping as the method of lateral control. The Collection's Blackburn monoplane was the seventh Mercury monoplane built. It was built in October 1912 to the order of Cyril Foggin, who learnt to fly at the Blackburn School at Hendon. It first flew in December 1912 in the hands of Harold Blackburn and was demonstrated by the company during the first part of 1913. Cyril Foggin first flew his new aeroplane on March 24 1913, but the aircraft was still used as a demonstration model by Blackburn. The aircraft was also used by Harold Blackburn to fly copies of the Yorkshire Post newspaper from Leeds to York between July 23-25 1913. The Blackburn Monoplane was then modified to have rounded wing tips and was fitted with a new design of undercarriage. It was then acquired by Montague Francis Glew, but he crashed the Blackburn at Wittering, Lincolnshire in 1914. The outbreak of the First World War led to the Blackburn being abandoned and forgotten. It was discovered in 1937 by Richard Shuttleworth, hidden under a haystack. Richard had to purchase the haystack to obtain the aeroplane. He then took the aircraft back to Old Warden and started to restore the aircraft, but Richard was killed in 1940 and work stopped. After the war, Richard Shuttleworth's chief engineer, Squadron Leader L.A. Jackson completed the restoration in 1949. The first flight of the Blackburn monoplane after restoration was made at nearby RAF Henlow on September 17 1949 by Group Captain A.H. Wheeler. The first public appearance of the Blackburn was made on the 25th September at the Royal Aircraft Establishments display at Farnborough. Since then it has been flying regularly with the Shuttleworth Collection and when the weather is calm enough it still takes to the air. Today it is a unique machine as it is the oldest airworthy British aeroplane in the world.”
Yesterday i was in Leeds, Probably my second home maybe...and me and my friend managed to spot this absolutely insane sounding machine. This R8 V10 was fitted with a Capristo Exhaust system, adding around 20-25BHP, and using a series of valves to give the car a more brutal note. We were chatting to the owner whilst he was on the Headrow, talking about the exhaust system and his steering wheel from the R8 GT too. And hopefully, i may get a photoshoot out from this car too one day. Amazing!

The Hudson Brougham Convertible was built late in the production year to stimulate sales. Construction started by removing the top from a coupe and then adding the canvas top. Approximately 140 were built.
The engine block is chrome alloy and is so hard that it is very difficult to machine. This car also includes an overdrive transmission.
Hidden Warbirds - Lost and Found
My full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/849224594
At the outbreak of World War II, the United States engaged in an effort to churn out warplanes at a rate unprecedented in history. At the end of the War, the vast majority of these War heroes were flown to huge junkyards, waiting their turn to be turned into aluminum ingots. For several decades these now old-fashioned airplanes were forgotten; however, films as "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "The Battle of Britain" revived an fledgling interest in these heroic machines.
This fascinating book tells the story of the great lengths people have gone to to recover what was once discarded trash, to be turned into pristine restorations worth millions of dollars and the delight of huge crowds at airshows. This book explores the recovery of old wrecks from the highest mountains and deepest oceans, the steamy jungles of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to the isolated frozen wastes of Alaska and Greenland.
The ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine is on exhibit at the Mill Valley Library this month.
Visitors to this unique art project seem to really enjoy the experience: their faces tell the whole story in this photo album: www.flickr.com/photos/fabola/albums/72157659147117739

We hosted a special event about ‘Pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions” -- and its founder, french poet Alfred Jarry, as part of our educational programs this month at the Mill Valley Library. This one-hour lecture and group discussion was held on October 15 in the Creekside Room, and engaged dozens of local community members in a fascinating conversation about the art movement that inspired surrealism and dadaism. Our presenters were Marshall Smith and Priscilla Wheeler, with creative contributions by Mark Petrakis, Freddy Hahne, as well as Fabrice and Phyllis Florin.
This program complements the first public exhibit of the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine, our poetic oracle, which is on display this month at the Mill Valley Library. Come see the slot machine this month! The exhibit is open from 1 to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday in October, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library. Pataphysical Studio members will be on hand to demo the Slot Machine and share what we have learned while building this interactive art project.

Detail of the second generation coding machine. This coding machine was known as the "Easy View" as letters were presented horizontally to the operator, rather than vertically as on previous machines.
This photo shows a sticker on the machine displaying the local short codes.
Cute and spiky, and an eating machine! This little dude and his buddies are helping me keep the rampant growth of my Passiflora 'Waterloo Blue' in check.
Elections or not, they just keep chuggin' along.
