Headed down to the states for a mini spraycation. The Tacoma boys hooked up a great wall for the day.
Ok, I know it's like super geeky, but I've finally got round to wiring up some servos I've had for about 3 years so I can control their position by sending serial commands over USB from a computer.
I said it was geeky :p Someone out there besides me must know how cool this is though ;)
That servo motor is a monster, but I'm very glad we have it - without it things would be much more complicated. Maybe you can spot the upside down section with panels above the front wheels. This was necessary due to the range of the pinion to keep the turning circle as small as possible. Also it allows the front wheels to move upwards.
I stumbled accross this great photo and had to repost due to the awesome comments that came with it...
Random flickr user: They picked a great color to show up best on the car. I dunno about this graffiti business.
Random flickr user number 2: Im all for the graffiti. Those carriages are rather dreary and need cheering up.
YES!
My partner spotted this moth on the ground at a service station in Faulconbridge. It was quite big and very striking. Hopefully no one stepped on it after we left!
Today is the feast of Saint Augustine who was born at Tagaste in what is now Algeria, c.354. He was not only the Bishop of Hippo and a theologian who profoundly influenced the western world, but the author of a rule and the instructor of our manner of common life. His Regula ad servos Dei, originally composed for a community of women, was adopted by the Canons Regular in the 12th Century.
Innocent III invited Saint Dominic to choose a rule for his followers from already existing and approved rules, following the Fourth Lateran Council (1215); as Jordan of Saxony testified, those who were to be Preachers professed the rule of Saint Augustine, who was himself a distinguished preacher; but they added certain stricter observances concerning the receiving of alms, fasting, vigils and woollen habits.
As Humbert of Romans showed in his commentary on the Rule, the apostolic life that forms the basis for the Rule of Saint Augustine was well-suited to the purpose of the Order of Preachers. The Rule, along with the Constitutions, remains today the foundation of Dominican profession.
This ceiling painting of St Augustine is from the Dominican church of Sta Maria Minerva in Rome.
