BACKUP YOUR FUCKING E-MAIL

Upon a tree, a bird, it sings,

"Your branches offer so many things,"

About the honey to the bear she bring,

"Your love's so sweet, my queen, it stings!"



To the spider, said the snake,

"Your kiss is so deadly, my knees shake!"

For the beach, the ocean spake,

"I swell from you when I wake."



Copper and tin, wing and fin,

Virtue and sin, yang and yin.

Likeness and difference cannot begin,

To separate what's truly kin.



So many things we cannot share,

Of them we are so aware,

But I defy the world should it dare,

Say a king and a queen not make a pair.

If god wanted us to use Windows, he would have nailed Bill Gates to a cross

I only work 40 hours a week...I volunteer for possibly an equal number of hours.  I'm getting about 4 hours of sleep a night.  I really wanna be a superstar this burningman so I'm taking on too many projects.  I am working on The Steampunk Tree House and Orb Swarm doing plasma cutting for both, general fabrication for SPTH, some machining for Swarm, and system/OS design for Swarm.  I'm going to playa only a couple days early this year.  I'll be in on Saturday the 25th, just in time to beat the rush.



On top of that, I need to get my bike fixed, my Steampunk cloak made, my house built, my sound system made, other costumy shit, other awesomeness made.  The list is getting longer (not shorter) as the event approaches.



I wish I had someone to snuggle at night so I could clear my mind and rest.  I think that's the point of being a superstar this year.  Kicking so much ass that, if I come home single this year, I truly am hopeless ;-)

I've got some upgrades!



I made no measurements, I just grabbed bits and pieces out of the "welding shop" practice scrap at TechShop and went to town with the mig welder.  One side is an inch longer that the other, but with some help, I can bend it back a bit and not ruin the look at all.



This is the mantle to a cloak I am making.  The actual cloak is going to be made out of black denim strips.  I'm hoping to make it look a lot like feathers.  Kinda like some diesel-punk-death-enforces/raven's-wings.



The cloak will probably hang all around like a shower curtain, but we'll see.



Now all I need to do is find some awesome retro welding goggles, fucked up bondage gear, and I can be totally mad max!

And remember, kids, the outside of your colon is still the inside of you!

Ok, it's only 350%, but I am working twice as many hours.



Still less than I am worth, but I'll take what I can get.

I am still only 5'8", but at least I've past another zero. This is my third.

The more I do, the less I post.  The more I post, the less I do.



First, all week I helped TechSh*p ramp up for The Maker Faire.  But before that, on Friday, I caught wind of the Shipyard (a collaborative build space for Mechanical, Electronic, Kinetic Art) was getting kicked out of the "culturally diverse and artist friendly city of Berkeley".  This is a place I have been meaning to visit for a while now.  As soon as I heard they were in trouble (for earthquake code violations) I ran down (Saturday) to get one glimpse at what they were before they had to up root.  While there, I helped them chuck and load all sorts of art/tools/materials for about 8 hours.  I also helped them dismantle the Neverwas Haul for towing to the Maker Faire on Thursday.  Just trying to make sure they had a chance to get ready for maker fair AND move their crap.



I also helped out Orb-Swarm on Wednesday.  Trying to help make sure they got to Maker Fair with their proto-orb in tact.



For myself, I made a sign.  Photo's later.



At the Maker Faire, I showed up at 7:00am, got the CNC plasma cutter up and running, finished up my sign (got to love an event where you have the tools you need to finish getting ready for the event) and show that off to dozens of people (including two camera crews! G4 and PBS!  Woot!)



Additionally, at Maker Fair, I helped make Salmon Costumes for Breakers to Bay (we run a 1.5 miles, upstream, against the current of Bay to Breakers, in Salmon Costumes, and then spawn when we reach the starting line.)



We gave the costumes a trial run at Maker Fair.  Along the trial run, we invaded the stage during the Swap-O-Rama-Rama fashion show (which Wendy Tremayne loved, BTW,) spawned, ran around, spawned, climbed the "Neverwas Haul", spawned, stood in concession lines, spawned, and last, but not least, ran into the Battle Bots Arena between bouts, and spawned, in front of hundreds of confused makers, attendee's, and their children!  I laughed so hard, milt sprayed out my nose!





Then, I went to Hallie's house and finished up the salmon costumes until 2:00am.



The next day, we awoke at 5:30am, and dragged our asses 1.5 miles in to the Bay to Breakers course.  Everything went as planned, and the entire way down, I pointed toward almost every woman within shouting distance and yelled, "Hey baby, what's your number?  We should spawn!"  Yes, it was repetitive, but it was good practice for delivery and audience participation.  It was great, too, because I'd watch people totally unprepared to receive a joke look blankly at me, run a few feet, then bust up laughing.



Once that was over, it was back in to my car, and back to the maker fair, where I loaded up on clothes from Swap-O-Rama-Rama, worked for TechSh*p some more, and ran around taking in as much as I could see.



Photographic evidence:















More later, I am sure!

This is serious.  A naturally occurring compound matching the make up described as Kryptonite, (sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide) was discovered in a Serbian mine.



The researcher has said this about the material, "I'm afraid it's not green and it doesn't glow either — although it will react to ultraviolet light by fluorescing a pinkish-orange"



This has lead to speculation that what Lex Luther actually found was PINK Kryptonite and that the effects on Superman (or any other Kryptonian) would be that it would make them gay, and only at raves (or otherwise exposed to massive amounts of UV light.)



Thus, this form of Kryptonite has been classified as "Emo-tonium Kryptonite."



Lex Luther is rumored to be heard scheming, "If the man of steel hung out in SF, I'd bet 'Pink Kryptonie' rings would sell like hot cakes on the Castro!"







I always wondered about the upside-down triangle emblem.



Why yes, I am a sick puppy.
