The Made World: UNSTICKY STUFF
http://notesonthemadeworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/unsticky-stuff.html
Not all designs stick. Some last only until the next best thing, some loose adhesion soon after they are loosed on the world. In honor of this fact of design life, we can look to one inventor in particular who proves that sticking is not always important. I am referring to an invention so familiar we barely think of it, yet like most design innovations, it was once new and unappreciated. The invention was the result of work done by Roy J. Plunkett. Never heard of him? Plunkett knew that this had to be a ...
The Made World: LADY HENRY
http://notesonthemadeworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/lady-henry.html
Design is no man’s game. But you would never know that from the textbooks. We are all familiar with the names of Bell and Edison and Fulton and Watt, but not of Lillian Gilbretli, Margaret Knight, or Beatrice Hicks. Or the thousands of other inventive women who have somehow slipped through the net of history, probably because it has largely been woven by men. Of all the modern designers who also happened to be women, one name that should not have slipped through is that of Beulah Louise Henry. By 1930 sh...
The Made World: PRESERVING THE PAST
http://notesonthemadeworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/preserving-past.html
I felt sorry for the can just as I was throwing it away. The soup inside, after all, was the prize, not the can it came in. By lying in the recycle bin like that, I thought the so-called “tin can” might be one of the most unappreciated innovations in design history: a discard, an afterthought, a castaway. But worth admiring anyway. The design of a new container is a. Science all onto itself, combining 3D design, structural engineering, molds, intrusion and extrusion, and all manner of exotic materials.
The Made World: HOOKED ON HOOKE
http://notesonthemadeworld.blogspot.com/2014/01/hooked-on-hooke.html
A designer can be thought of as anyone who makes a thing. Any thing and any kind of thing. From this angle, a lot of people you would not ordinarily think of as designers come into view just because they conceived, planned, and created things, as any designer would. Discovering – or rediscovering – the geniuses of this process is always rewarding and in that spirit, l offer one of the greatest scientists – designers, that is – of the 17. His name was Robert Hooke. Born on July 18, 1635, Hooke was mostly ...
The Made World: THE FORK AS METAFORK
http://notesonthemadeworld.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-fork-as-metafork.html
THE FORK AS METAFORK. Very beginning, no. Doubt, we were animals as far as our table manners were concerned.ripping into food with teeth and nails. But evidence now suggests that more civilized eating is pretty basic to our evolution too. Eating utensils have been dated back at least 500,000 years. Sharp shards of flint and obsidian found at fire pits suggest the early use of a kind of knife to divide foodstuff into edible chunks. Not just effective, the fork is as fine a metapho. It was not until the kn...

StoriesattheEdgeofTime: Zalman's Slipper
http://stories-at-the-edge-of-time.blogspot.com/2012/04/zalmans-slipper.html
Saturday, April 7, 2012. Ometime before dawn on the morning in question, Zalman was crudely awakened by a strange noise in the closet. Every day being the same, Zalman took great comfort in relying on the familiar pattern of sounds from morning until night. So although this new intrusion was only a slight thud, nothing more than a gentle shove against the still air, it was loud enough to send Zalman into a fit of concern. But he was only vaguely successful. What could it be? So what could it have been?
Gizmotics: The Ring of the Neoluds
http://gizmotics.blogspot.com/2012/04/ring-of-neoluds.html
The Ring of the Neoluds. 8220;The engines he will have invented will. Be beyond his strength to control…”. Henry Adams, writing in 1862. Our responses to Gizmos evolution are all over the place. They range from blind acceptance to healthy skepticism to outright rage at the machine. Most folks become whine connoisseurs, always aggravated. But for a smaller group, the world is going right to hell on a microchip. I understand these modern Luddites very well; they are really preservationists. One of the main...
MazelTales: Grandma Eaten by Wolves
http://mazeltales.blogspot.com/2011/10/grandma-eaten-by-wolves.html
Grandma Eaten by Wolves. Grandma Hannah, eaten by wolves. That was all I ever knew about her. She was not actually my grandma but someone else’s somewhere along the line. I knew nothing else about her. So when I came across this photo that had the name “Hannah” written on the back, I figured it had to be her. I had heard many versions of this story. And there was this:. The moon cast long shadows on the ground and as she walked without thinking, Hannah watched her own dark form following her step by step...
MazelTales: A Zillion Stars Like Souls
http://mazeltales.blogspot.com/2011/11/zillion-stars-like-souls.html
A Zillion Stars Like Souls. My mother was a teacher. She believed in lessons. I remember one time on a family picnic she found a grasshopper and quickly scooped it up in her hands. “Come around, kids,” she said to us, “and take a look.” It was not enough to point it out, to simply look, you see? You had to look with focus, through her eyes – the eyes of discovery – or you would miss the lesson. And then one day, when there will be more stars than souls in this jampacked universe, we might just see the gl...

StoriesattheEdgeofTime: Camera Scientia
http://stories-at-the-edge-of-time.blogspot.com/2012/04/camera-scientia.html
Saturday, April 7, 2012. He world had gone gray in two days. That was all it took to suck out the bright dreams of the millennia. In the end, all our fine tinkering and tweaking meant nothing. Everything we had pinned our hopes on was reduced to a kind of ashy sludge. That is why I found myself back at that decaying old building again. I had stumbled across it the day before as I was wandering mindlessly through the goop. On the other side of the door there was a huge room lined with shelves. I had no id...
Ingenarium: Ordinary Brilliance
http://ingenarium.blogspot.com/2012/05/ordinary-brilliance.html
Creativity is just connecting things.". To creative people, creativity is always “just” something. The obvious as breakthrough or the unusual as common sense, take your pick. Either way, a kind of dim brilliance has to go into our Ingenarium. An ability, that is, to see the apparent in a new light, to think of the commonplace as a special place. Realizing that the obvious is important enough to be an insight is a special skill. The gasket was fragile in the cold. A genius and a jerk were hiking. Sudd...
Gizmotics: Take My Chip, Please

Take My Chip, Please. 8220;In order to make an apple pie from. Scratch, you must first create the universe". My computer is what is known as a tough room. I mean that in the stand-up sense that it never seems to get my jokes. It transcribes them well enough, stores them, transmits them, even translates them…but nary a guffaw. It is great at handling gigs but not so much giggles. Like the researchers at the University of Cincinnati who built a bot that gets puns. But all that is pretty petty stuff. In fac...
Ingenarium: Dare to Be Dumb
http://ingenarium.blogspot.com/2011/07/dare-to-be-dumb_09.html
Dare to Be Dumb. 8220;How stupid not to have. Thought of it before.”. TH Huxley on reading. Darwin's Origin of the Species. Here is a famous dumb question: Sally is five feet tall, always lies, and weighs what Sam would weigh if he were 2 inches taller than her. Sally says she weighs 10 pounds more than Sam. Sam, who is the exact same height as Sally and always tells the truth, in fact weighs 10 pounds less than her. What is the simplest way to find out Sam's weight? You have to dare to be dumb. Century ...

Random Korean marshmallow things. Filled with goo. very weird but very cute. Uniqlo thermals, my husky and me.

Current events seem to have many people in a spin. If it's not about the imploding U.S. economy, it's about the constant loss of lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, or about some grave threat from one of America's 'enemies.'. One of the things that Christians can be quite sure about is that our LORD and Savior Jesus the Christ. He will live and rule amon...

Notes On the Revolution
Notes On the Revolution. January 23, 2017. In my mind, three distinct inaugurations took place this weekend of January 20th to the 22nd. On Friday, January 20, we witnessed the official inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States of America. Mr Trump gave a thundering and threatening speech on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building. With his usual helmet of orange hair framing his usual orange face, he bellowed to his world:.
