Future (space)ships

These drawings are some very cool concept designs of sci-fi-y spaceships and their environments. Lovely.

Too true

This really is. And I thought I was alone.

Dr. Horrible

A creative new format that probably won’t catch on, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog made by Joss Whedon (of ‘Buffy’ fame, which I’m a huge fan of) is an enjoyable web experiment that’s worth checking out for the humor, songs, and story in a small package.

Best mating area

It’s nice to know that Madison ranks highly, as I’m available. (Note: was number one in their magazine but is last of the group online.)

Back in service

Breaking news. Well, that’s a relief (literally).

Spheres of light

These simple illuminated orbs are a fantastic outdoor decoration idea as the beautiful photos show. They seem to belong in their environment.

Paper cutouts

Wonderful paper art by Peter Callesen where the three dimensional creations spring forth from contiguous cutouts of a single piece of white paper.

Fireworks illustration

I really like the style of these illustrations by Ryan hicks using Fireworks which makes certain techniques intuitive. Found here.

Obama delegate switches to Hillary

It’s not a headline you would see, as at this stage it only goes the other way. But I wonder, is there a Hillary supporting superdelagate that once was an Obama supporter?

The worst

I’d have to agree, completely. There’s no reason to wait to judge. But there could be worse in the future, however unlikely.

Tetris in 3D

I had some colored art paper laying around, some time, and was in need of some personality for my workspace. Thus these three-dimensional Tetris blocks.

Being a methodical engineer I took my time, attempting to simultaneously maximize the usage of the size of the unit block given paper of fixed dimensions, minimize the amount of taping and cutting needed, and maximize the structural rigidity. Version 1.0 did not achieve a satisfactory balance (There were some exposed edges to the inside). It’s not quite origami, but I did only use one sheet of paper for each block.
