I bought a 6.3 pound pork butt from Whole Foods ("Organic" - $5.99 a pound). I rubbed it down before I went to bed. Laying in bed, I was reading more about smoking pork online; it turns out that, unlike brisket, you don't want to have a ton of fat above the meat. At least, according to this guy, who wrote like an online dissertation on smoking pork butts. I'm following that writeup, combined with a bit from bbq.about.com/cs/porkpulled/a/aa072697.htm.
So this morning I woke up at 7am, trimmed a bunch of the fat off the top, and then rubbed it some more. Pork butt went in the smoker in at 7.30am! For about 10-11 hours. It's all an experiment!

One of my projects lately has been to reinvent this project for digital fabrication.
Here are the design files: www.thingiverse.com/thing:17860
I will have a complete writeup of the process on Make: Projects in a bit. Right now, it is still being edited. When the instructions are complete and accurate, they'll be opened up to the public.

I'll put the info in the description for this image for now, and will likely write it up elsewhere later. I've used the above manual, but haven't read it in years. My responses are informed by teaching this project to hundreds of students in high school classes.
I've used magnets from radio shack. They are ceramic rings, 1 1/8" exterior diameter, approximately 3/8" interior diameter. Ceramic magnets are dark gray, and are not as powerful or precisely manufactured as rare earth or neodynium magnets. These particular magnets are about 1/4" thick, so your base grooves will be 1/2".
For the rod, 3/8" wooden dowel works well, cut about 8" long.
There are a number of ways to make the base, I've seen legos, laser cut acrylic and mostly what I did with students is cut the grooves with a custom made jig on a router table. The simplest way of doing with wood it is to cut an 8" piece of 1" x 5" and use the router or table saw to cut the grooves equal distances from the end, about 2 1/4 - 2 1/2" is enough.
When you put the upright on, the groove closest to the mirror, which I call the front, will have less distance than the distance between the back and the end of the base.
Check your magnets for polarity. In theory, you should have all magnets facing with South pointing in, but I've seen it work plenty of times with North facing in. What is most important is that all the front magnets face in the same direction, and that all the back magnets face in the same direction. I'm not convinced that they all have to be more coordinated than that to function. You can check that your polarity is right by putting two magnets in the groove, then checking each magnet against those. If the magnet you are testing is pointed the same way, it will push away when you bring it down from above or the side. If the polarity is flipped, the magnet you are testing will be attracted to the ones on the base. A pair of magnets should 'want to be together.' If you have to fight to keep the magnets together, you have North facing North or South facing South. So, two in the groove with two next to them in each groove. Next, you want the same configuration in the other groove. This places all four base ring magnets.
On the dowel, you want to first put a bearing point on the end that will touch the glass. I've used brass brads, thumbtacks, ball point pen points and a variety of other things. Hard and slick/smooth is important. You don't want anything that will cause friction.
To float the dowel, you don't need to have the rotor block at all. In fact, there are some toys that do just about this much, have a floating rod in a magnetic field.
The placement of the rotor magnets is pretty important, but easy to get right. The front magnet, closest to the mirror should line up above the frontmost magnet on the base. The front face of each magnet should be aligned. The back magnet, furthest from the mirror, should be centered over the seam between the rear base magnets.
The magnets on the rotor have to be secure, and perpendicular to the rotor. If the magnets can wobble on the dowel, they will. When they wobble, they will always slip to a position where they are attracted to the base magnets. This wobble will cause the rotor not to turn. The way I suggest getting the rotor magnets securely attached is with tape. What kind of tape depends on how close your dowel is to the ID of the magnet. If it is really close, use clear adhesive tape. The shiny stuff works best, as the frosted tape is thinner and tears easily. If the dowel is thinner, like a pen or narrower tube, you might use electrical tape, which is thicker. You need the fit to be just right, so will have to adjust the amount of tape until the magnet slides on with a twisting motion. If it is too little tape, the magnet will be wobbly. If it is too much tape, you won't be able to get the magnet on at all. The magnet has to stay upright, perpendicular to the dowel.
When you have the magnets securely attached to the dowel and the base, you should be able to put the rotor assembly in the magnetic field and it will stay flat and pushed against the glass of the mirror.
If the rotor climbs the glass: You've got one or both of the rotor magnets too close to the mirror.
If the rotor jumps back off the glass: You've got one or both rotor magnets too far from the mirror.
You can do the above positioning with a variety of things. One of the easiest ways might be to build a base out of LEGOs and test the magnetic arrangement. Getting the dowel/rotor to float is pretty easy if you keep the above information in mind.
Making the rotor, winding it and soldering the solar cells is another matter altogether, and will have to wait for another day.
If you want to make the rotor, here is one file for the block: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4455
Several years ago, I set up this troubleshooting guide, which is pretty good: principles.pbworks.com/w/page/18546030/MendoTroubleshooting
This is something I wrote a while back, and it has some good links on the bottom. fussingwithstuff.com/2008/06/mendocino-motor.html
The video shows two motors in action, and they do behave a little oddly near each other. The polarity of the motors can be complimentary or oppositional, depending on how each was done. I'm not quite sure why that is. I've also noticed that some need the base magnet, and others don't and others can't use the base magnet.
I'll do a big writeup when I have time to take better pictures this week. Going out of town for two days, so probably Tuesday night will be the big photo shoot.
104 studs stem to stern. I think this technically qualifies it for S.H.I.P. status? All I know is that I am basically out of light and dark grey plates and all my technic beams. Worth it.

Posting these for a little writeup I'm doing on using DXO ViewPoint software. This is a compromise between making the ball perfectly circular and losing too much off the edge of the image (particularly the top).
I made a very early morning visit to what was once one of the largest mental hospitals in the United States -- or even the world.
It's been shut down for decades but it still stands -- a monument to mental illness stretching back to the 19th century.
To enter it you must travel long distances underground through abandoned steam tunnels which I did alone and that was a little scary -- but it was worth it.

As Don Delaney would say "This was a dream shoot'
The Owl Guys invited serval of us to watch the release of this beautiful Male Snowy Owl! Not only did we get to photograph the owl we were able to hold it.
Richard explained how to tell the sex of a Snowy by the tail bars, wings and head markings.
Check out Don Delaney's flickr photostream for a great writeup on wonderful work the " The Owl Guys" do! and Bob's ( vanesb1) photostream also has several shots of the shoot!
A big thanks to Richard Chamberland!

We were one tour gardens during our town's sixth annual Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park tour.
Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park tour
(nice writeup by Elizabeth Griffin in our local paper)
"Across the city Mary Ellen Asmundson has collected more than 1,000 cultivars in her small suburban garden. Sloping, the yard is terraced in circular patterns with gravel and dry stack stone walls. Within these visitors will see unusual perennials and shrubs from New Zealand and Australia, as well as local varieties. Asmundson has planted a successive garden that stays in bloom 10 months out of the year. To maximize space she grows vines, bravely combining them with other plants. A wisteria grows at three levels with purple clematis and yellow climbing roses circling around it. Her yard will give you a multitude of ideas on gardening with flair in a small space."
We had fun - there were a lot of volunteers that helped - and I would guess we had 300 people through our garden in a day. All the proceeds go to community organizations - so it was satisfying to help in this way.
