Peace, justice, fast cars. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Binge-watching Great Designs and Ending Up in a Slum. During the Winter Break I got hooked on Grand Designs. The show is a great way to learn about the design process. Unlike This Old House. Or any show hosted by Bob Vila. Shows that I've never really liked, Kevin McCloud encourages. While watching a few of the shows on YouTube, I stumbled across a special he made called Slumming It. Which documented his travels in the Mumbai slum of Dharavi. It...

winchou: More Architectural Tourism - A Field Trip
http://winchou.blogspot.com/2014/11/more-architectural-tourism.html
Peace, justice, fast cars. Saturday, November 01, 2014. More Architectural Tourism - A Field Trip. We were so fortunate to be able to take a trip to see works from two of the most significant american architects of the 20th century: Frank Lloyd Wright. And I M. Pei. I found it interesting that all the students recognized the buildings we visited - they had "seen" them, but few had visited or really delved into the heritage on their doorstep. Both the Civic Center. And the Buck Institute. I have an even m...

winchou: MakerBot Replicator 2
http://winchou.blogspot.com/2014/04/makerbot-replicator-2.html
Peace, justice, fast cars. Sunday, April 20, 2014. A couple of years ago, MakerBot. This year, MakerBot introduced their latest "5th generation" products, and the price for the Replicator 2 dropped to $1899 - too cheap to ignore. So I went to the Microsoft Store. And grabbed one. Set it up, pushed some buttons, and it's very easy to get started - really impressive how easy it is to get started. I printed a couple sets of the nuts and bolts on the provided SD card. Piece of cake. Smitty vs the World.

winchou: March 2014

Peace, justice, fast cars. Saturday, March 22, 2014. I picked up the TT exactly ten years ago today - had a service appointment this morning so it got some birthday TLC. Here it is with some youngsters - the "latte" colored TT-RS has Schroth racing harnesses and looks seriously low to the ground; the R8 is a V8 with all the right touches (colors, wheels, blades). Just over 54,000 miles now and still smiling. Here's a trip down memory lane - when the TT Turned Two. Saturday, March 15, 2014. Ovelty, and c.

Peace, justice, fast cars. Friday, December 21, 2012. The End of Time. It's the last day of civilization, and there are a few things I'd like to get off my chest. First, let me credit The Verge for this article. Hey Edward. It's me. I brought pie.". Ran (runs) a local TV station on which he would sit and sermonize to the camera; and since the East Bay is home base to his company (and him) we got rather a full dose of his nuttiness. Though he now admits he was wrong regarding the end of days. The Museum p...
