Friday Morning And I'm Not At Work

I'm taking the day off work today...

First: Yes, I made the wands I showed in my previous posting. I was pretty subtle about it, I know. I also made the boxes, the padded inserts, and the labels.

Some links of interest from the past week:

Auction of NASA artifacts. Any of these would be fine for Christmas, birthday, Columbus Day, or any other occasion. If you are a fan of the space program you could easily spend an entire day looking at this auction catalog. Some of the items still have moon dust embedded in them.

Speaking of NASA, 40 years ago, Apollo 11 made a quick visit to the moon. NASA is restoring and cleaning up their video images of the landing in honor of the event. Check Boing Boing's summary for a few examples of the videos.

Continuing my trend of posting links of objects built from other objects, here are some nuts and bolts vehicles.

Building an F/A-18 Hornet (video). Time-lapse photography of building a Hornet. Makes it look easy.

Want to work at Sandia National Laboratories, like my neice Ann's boyfriend David? They have something for everyone, from Office Administration Assistant to Post-doctoral appointee working on Large Eddy Simulation of Internal Combustion Engines. If I wasn't so tired of Large Eddy Simulations already, I'd consider applying for that one. Click here to see the list.

A few more days left for the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. Bring your water bottle, and don't forget to stop at the Greek Orthodox Church's booth to pick up a gyro for lunch. No matter how you pronounce "gyro", it always tastes fair-riffic.

M's new model project: PT-109
Next model up for me, if I ever get around to it: USS Arizona

The scale of the PT-109 and the USS Arizona are different, so when they're built, the PT-109 will be almost as big as the Arizona.

Have a great weekend!
