Did not realise that it was A Wolf Moon when I took this. Missed the sunset so went for a walk over it for the 1st time. The walk was a bore but when viewed from different angles it becomes interesting.
A public competition was held to decide on a new name for the bridge.
On the 23rd November 2008 it was announced that the winning entry was Kurilpa Bridge.
The name reflects the Australian Aboriginal word for the South Brisbane and West End area, and means "place for water rats".
The Kurilpa Bridge is a multiple-mast, cable-stay structure based on principles of tensegrity producing a synergy between balanced tension and compression components to create a light structure that is incredibly strong.
The bridge is 470m long with a main span of 120m and features two large viewing and relaxation platforms, two rest areas, and a continuous all-weather canopy for the entire length of the bridge. A canopy is supported by a secondary tensegrity structure. It is estimated that 550 tons of structural steel including 6.8 km of spiral strand cable are incorporated into the bridge.
The bridge is lit with a sophisticated LED lighting system which can be programmed to produce an array of different lighting effects. Depending on lighting configurations, 75%-100% of the power required is provided by solar energy.

El superVIRUS¸ origen de la prĂ³xima desapariciĂ³n de la humanidad y la dominaciĂ³n del universo. Neil Armstrong nos ocultĂ³ los principios que tenĂa la NASA y el gobierno de los Estados Unidos¸ por el año 1969. A travĂ©s de un salto temporal en el tiempo¸ mediante la transmisiĂ³n que falsamente vivĂan todos¸ ubica el primer germen que se desarrollarĂa desde la base en la Tierra en los prĂ³ximos 50 años. Mediante su evoluciĂ³n en la Luna¸ el 2% de su proporciĂ³n fue lanzado a la Tierra¸ especĂficamente en la ciudad de Wuhan¸ dando origen al COVID-19.

Tried my hand at making a custom tensegrity structure MOC. I modeled it after the final scene in Revenge of the Sith where Anakin and Obi-Wan are dueling on Mustafar. Funny enough, the main reason for the theming is because I only had two long chains and one of them was orange from Ghostrider's minifig haha so it made sense to make it lava themed / Mustafar themed.

Tensegrity structures are structures based on the combination of a few simple but subtle and deep design patterns:
* loading members only in pure compression or pure tension, meaning the structure will only fail if the cables yield or the rods buckle (the rods would have to be an exceptionally weak material with a very large diameter to yield before they buckle or the cables yield)
* preload, which allows cables to be rigid in compression
* minimal overconstraint which reduces stress localization
* mechanical stability, which allows the members to remain in tension/compression as stress on the structure increases
Because of these patterns, no members experience a bending moment. This produces exceptionally rigid structures for their mass and for their cross section.

This strut uses a doubled length of 6-lb Fireline fishing line knotted in double overhand knots every 10 cm. The 321Q balloons are inflated to about 8.2 cm diameter and knotted at each end.
Water leaked through the ceiling from the bathroom above. In an attempt to encourage the ceiling to dry flat, I have it mashed in to place with a placemat held in position with a broom and two bungee cords.
Apple opened a new store in the Ross Park Mall this past weekend and they were giving away free t-shirts to the first 1000 customers. They were sooooo packed that my buddy Rob was only able to grab two t-shirts, one for me and one for him. (Seriously, folks, what kind of turn-out did you expect? There are already two Apple Stores in the Pittsburgh area.)
It also came with this neat origami packaging, though I doubt I'll ever be able to put it back together and have it hold.
