Circadian Contraptions Day 146
I went on to play with the Omega2 computer, but instead of going for the electronics side of it, I decided to try out the screen that came with it and see what i could do with that. Just a small little program that gives the time, appropriate time of day and a random quote … Continue reading

Last week I went to Zutphen and I took some pictures there. It’s a habit I picked up during my time doing these contraptions. See a nice open view? picture. A beautiful sunset? picture. A stormy sky? you get the idea. Sometimes they’re not used. They just don’t pop out as interesting enough, but sometimes … Continue reading

I’ve continued playing and learning with the little omega 2 computer i received. The experiment shown beneath is a system where the computer reads the status of the switch every second or so, and adjusts then turns the led on or off. This is the small delay you see between the actual flipping of the … Continue reading

Continuing my work with the 3d pen I did two smaller projects today. One was to draw basically a 2 butterly and see how that turned out, the other was to go more into the actual 3d space. For this I chose to draw a batwing (easier than bird wings, no feathers). I might make … Continue reading

Today was back to 3d drawing. I love the smell of incense, but I never think of getting a good incense holder when I’m out and about. So today I took my time to draw one. Its not quite finished yet, it takes a lot of time to draw with any sense of consistency, but … Continue reading

Yesterday I picked up my omega2 maker kit. Omega2 is a project from indiegogo where you get minicomputer (smaller than a matchbox) and some extensions to allow you to connect it to a bunch of different peripherals. Much like the Arduino is for those in the know. So I’ve started out with it, and decided … Continue reading

So I have this coworker that drinks a LOT of tea, but doesn’t much care for walking to the tea machine every couple of minutes. So she got a teacup that holds 5 normal cups. Of course this is a prime target for a little bit of teasing, and that’s where this picture originated.

And here’s the second contribution of today. Using bevel i tried to make an interesting staircase. There are inlaid panels on the side, and some fancy decorations on the railing pillars. I’m gonna do some research on how to get the wood better looking though. For one everything seems to be carved out of a … Continue reading

Today you’ll get two posts for the price of one. Yesterday morning i left the house at 6am and didnt return till after midnight, so you’ll be treated to a double dose today. I like the faux black and white effect, in this one I’ve took out all colors except for red. You can see … Continue reading

I’ve started another multi-day project. Inspired by a picture I saw of a steampunk house/train combination I’ve decided to model my own. Now this seems like its pretty far along, but i want to model the inside too, as well as texture everything. This should keep me busy for a while.
