To be able to have an E-locker in the rear I need a full floating rear axle. Land Cruisers (40 series) came factory with one on the FJ45 pickup only. The issue is of course that the axle didn't have an e-brake since it was located on the back of the transfer case. The BJ42 doesn't have that, so I needed to add an e-brake to the FJ45 axle. Not a simple task. The two backing plates are completely different, have different spacing and a different mounting pattern. This required a bit more work. A full writeup will be available soon. In the meantime, here are some pics that give you an idea of what needs to be done.

To finish the adapter, place the lens inside the wide end of the connector, and adjust to get the tilt desired. To fix it into place, simply tighten the screw clip. To adjust, loosen the screw clip, mess about with the lens position, and try again.
The design works because the mount is rubber, and the lens size is just a little less than the diameter of its mount. The lens sits comfortably in the mount, and the adjustable rubber gives it room to move when you want to tilt it. The metal clip (when tightened!) ensures that the lens can be held in place. The field tests that I've done so far have shown that the lens is indeed held pretty solidly in place.
The main drawback is that it's not as interactive as plungercam 1, and it takes much longer to set up a shot. On the other hand, you can definitely use it for time-lapse captures, which was a goal of mine.

Superboy joined them at the last minute.
At Long Beach Comic Con 2014. ← My writeup of the convention.
everything written works correctly. a final writeup of the project is also up now: numist.net/post/2010/project-typewriter.html
now the weakest link is the FTDI driver in Mac OS. python-serial destabilized the system to the point of hard reboot.
it's silly that, once finished, our microcontroller/hardware projects are more reliable than our bigger, beefier systems.

Roasted Kurobuta pork belly with a truffle sauce, outrageously good. Skin is crisp, meat is tender, fat just melts in your mouth.

I did a shorter, non-sensical writeup in Seattlest.
It sounds both ironic and dangerous to have fireworks next to Gas Works. We're crazy like that in Seattle, though.
The old photo I retook is from around 1895. You'd think that Seattle would still be sensitive to flame so soon after the 1889 Great Fire, but apparently not. Fireworks were set off in 1890 at the first anniversary from a safe distance on West Seattle. In 1897 the show covered two nights, and featured spectacular sights like Mount Rainier done in sparklers 30 feet high. In 1898 at least the fireworks were over at Athletic Park where Seattle University is today. Other early years were held in Elliott Bay.
Each year was billed as the greatest display ever, but 1900 was the start of something special. Festivities were held "where of late the Government has been keeping a drove of horses and mules" -- today, the Seattle Center. It was a festival that a 21st century Seattleite could appreciate:
"The committee has purchased a large number of the finest and largest sized Japanese shells, that are thirty-six inches in circumference. These are thrown from immense mortars about 800 feet in the air, where they explode, showing all the beautiful combinations of color known to man. They will terminate in stars, meteors, parachutes, floating stars, all enveloped with a shower of golden rain." (6/30/1900 Seattle Times p6)
Independence Day fireworks have always been a civic affair. This year a group of business leaders stepped forward to save it when sponsorship fell through. Back in 1900 it was a joint effort between Pike Street business owners and several labor unions that got it done. In 1906, community leaders in the Green Lake area made a non-compete deal with the downtown folks and moved the fireworks display northward. Initially this lasted for only a few years, but Green Lake took control again in 1920. Seattle's main event was held there until 1980 when it moved to its current home at Lake Union.
In between, the first fireworks on Lake Union were held in 1909. With the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition underway at the UW campus, fireworks were moved here to put on a show for fairgoers. Then there was a lull in Fourth of July fireworks through the 1910s. Right after AYPE, Seattle began an early summer festival called Potlatch which had fireworks in the middle of July. Riots in 1913 put an end to Potlatch.
Celebration at the end of World War One got fireworks going again. First the Seattle Times held a display at "Times Square". That's the open area where today's street car ends at Stewart and Westlake. They claimed it was spectacular so it was either incredibly dangerous or there was still empty space from the Denny Hill regrade. The Times got smart in 1920, moving the party to Green Lake.
There were fireworks at the stadium on the current Seattle Center grounds in 1925, and on Lake Union again in 1935. Green Lake's show was moved twice. First in 1962 the Independence Day fireworks were moved to Elliott Bay as part of the World's Fair celebrations. Then in 1972 they were set off inside of Seattle Center. A pyrotechnic mishap sent a dozen people to the hospital when a rocket misfired into the crowd. Since then they've always been set off over water.
Of course, we had two great shows for a number of years. Ivar Haglund liked the World's Fair show so much that Mr. Waterfront started funding a display in Elliott Bay. When the other moved to Lake Union it became a glorious site. From Capitol Hill, First Hill, Queen Anne, the International District and many other vantages around town two first-rate displays were put on simultaneously. Just two short years ago the Fourth of Jul-Ivar's was put to rest. And this year we almost lost the other after Washington Mutual was put to rest.
In the old photo the Olympic Mountains rise in the distance on a gorgeous sunny day. We suffered through cold, cloud and rain in the contemporary photo. Back then, Gas Works had yet to rise from the peninsula at the north end of Lake Union. The curved line of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway is visible though -- that later became the Burke Gilman Trail. The building in the foreground in the Eastlake area of North Capitol Hill may be the original Denny-Fuhrman School, which was later renamed Seward School and rebuilt a few times. The most impressive part of the view is that there is a view at all. There are so few trees "obstructing" sight lines that they could be easily counted. All of the Seattle area had been stripped bare to feed first Yesler's Mill and then sawmills at the south end of Lake Union, in Ballard, and around the area.

Every week, Infineon Raceway holds a drift event called Sonoma Drift. If you follow my previous write ups then you already know what i'm talking about. Anyways, this week was a bit different from most, usually the event takes place on a big open lot, similar to a parking lot. This week we used part of the track as the drift course. Those of you who are familiar with Infineon Raceway will know it as turn 11.
Over the past four weeks of attending Sonoma Drift i've met some really cool people. Through meeting these people i've realized how fortunate all of us are, to live in an area so populated by car enthusiasts and car culture in general. We're twenty minutes away from a track, and ten minutes away from a scenic drive to the beach.
Anyways, enough of my reminiscing. This is a photo of Lexis King in his super dope RX7 FC.

Museum writeup: "Imperial medallions, such as this one of Constantius II (reigned 350-361), were often mounted by their recipients to boast of their highly favored status in society. This stunning example, minted in Nicomedia (Asia Minor), represents on the reverse the triumphant emperor in his chariot. Smaller coins were also mounted as jewelry, like the smaller aureus honoring Galeria Faustina (died 140/141), wife of Antoninus Pius. Other mounted coins, separated by lengths of chain, would have completed this section of either a belt or a necklace."
