On my way out to do fieldwork from King Street Center, I saw these prototype bus stop flags that Metro is testing. You can see an earlier version of this design at bus stops in Auburn and along route 180. This new design features Metro's primary colors and new logo, route number and destinations, and bus stop number (doesn't look like the MyBus numbers though). The difference between the two flags is the reflective surfaces.
Inspired by the Normandy SR2, this is the starting point (still 1000 parts) of a fast attack ship about the size of a corvette but packing as much fire-power as a heavy frigate in a much more agile, higher speed platform. Unit cost will be incredibly high, but VVC aims to produce the best light ship in the galaxy.
I think it has a sort of insectoid feel to it, I'm really happy so far.
This is something I had been meaning to complete for quite a while. I needed something that was portable, clean and easy to store random things in to prototype stuff on the fly.
The Proto Desk allows me to sit on the couch with my laptop and arduino and mess around.
The Jaguar XJ13 was a prototype racing car developed by Jaguar Engineering Director William Heynes to compete at Le Mans in the mid 1960s.
Jaguar had considered the manufacture of a DOHC V12 engine as far back as 1950, initially for racing purposes, and then developing a SOHC road going version, unlike the XK which was designed as a production engine and later pressed into service for racing. The engine design was essentially two XK 6-cylinder engines on a common crankshaft with an aluminium cylinder block, although there were differences in the inlet porting, valve angles and combustion chamber shape. The first engine ran in July 1964.
The design structure of a mid-engined prototype was first mooted in 1960 by William Heynes, but it was not until 1965 that construction began, with the first car running by March 1966. The aluminium body exterior was designed by Malcolm Sayer, the aerodynamicist responsible for aerodynamic air flow work on the Jaguar C-type, D-type, who used his Bristol Aeroplane Company background to build it using techniques borrowed from the aircraft industry. The task of building the car was entrusted by Heynes to Engineer Derick White, Ted Brookes, Mike Kimberley, Bob Blake in the Browns Lane experimental department's "competition shop".
The XJ13 had mid-engine format with the 5.0 litre V12 engine designed by Heynes and Claude Bailey, it produces 502 horsepower in 7600 rpm, mounted behind the driver, used as a stressed chassis member together with the five-speed manual ZF Transaxle driving the rear wheels.
In 1971 the Series 3 E-type was about to be launched with Jaguar's first production V12 engine. The publicity team wanted a shot of the XJ13 at speed for the opening sequence of the film launching the V12 E-Type. On 21 January 1971, the XJ13 was taken to MIRA for the filming with Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis at the wheel. Sadly, the car was driven by Dewis at speed on a damaged tyre, against the instructions of Jaguar director England. The resultant crash heavily damaged and nearly destroyed the car, although Dewis was unharmed. The wreck of the car was put back into storage.
A very interesting rig! Heavily wrapped and taped up, passing by with a bulker. Innitial suggestions point to this most likely being a brand new Volvo Euro 6 spec truck...
There is Xfig, there is Visio, there are a lot of ways of doing it but when I want to really get the feel for the space occupation there's nothing like paper prototyping the scene.
While me and my wife are debating wether to move, we took a look at some possible new homes which are quite promising. On sunday we took it a step further regarding one of the possibilities and went and measured the living-room and then spent the evening prototyping the way our furniture would fit in there.
And yes, the yellow bits (the furniture) are made of post-its I cut into shape.
This is an Uglydoll Action Figure Prototype Sample. This was the first piece done to gain approval for the Action Figures. The piece is made of a poly resin material. It is hand painted. Unlike the actual produced pieces, the arms and waist do not move. For comparison, the plastic, produced, retail piece is on the right.
Lots of modeling goodness in this photo. Things I can do better next time I build one of these. It's a perfect industry for that short siding on a layout.

A cancelled part of the original Metro development programme, intended primarily for the mainland European market where small saloons were more popular than in the UK. BL only had the budget to produce either this or the five-door hatchback, and for once they made the right decision to go ahead with the latter. Oddly this prototype has been retrofitted with the wheels used on the 1984 Metro facelift.
Stop 57920, which Metro claims is at 40th ST NE. Either the stop moved, or they mapped it incorrectly, because this flag is right in front of Chihuahuas Mexican Restaurant at Auburn Way North and 42nd ST NE.

This is the prototype for my big soft circuitry project in progress. It uses a lilypad arduino board to translate information about the movement of an accelerometer into different colors of light using RGB LEDs.
