Just Awesome

So my wife and I are fans of modern Dance and we happen to catch a piece by mia michaels on So you think you can Dance. It was just great. The song is by "Elisa" and is called Dancing. Watch below if you would like, you can pass the interview stuff at the start.

1900s wooden watch



Seeing as the recent post about a wooden calculator proved so popular, here’s a look at another carpentry creation: a pocket watch made from wood. Excellent timepiece blog The Watchismo times found this Russian creation, dating back to around the turn of the century (no, not the one just gone). Some sources claim that the watch is entirely made out of wood, but I doubt it - the power source in pocketwatches is a tightly coiled metal spring, and I just can’t see wood living up to that task. Still, a marvellous creation!

Wooden Calculator


The strange and beautiful machine shown above is a reconstruction of a mechanical calculator built by mathematician and inventor Thomas Fowler in the 1830s. The orignal machine has long since been lost, and precious few clues to its design and construction exist. Painstaking research by Pamela Vass and David Hogan eventually pieced together enough information to allow them to start building their own machine, aided by Mark Glusker. Together this team were able to construct the first working model of Fowler’s ternary calculating machine in over 150 years.

Glitter


So my intention of this blog was for mainly visual things rather than stories of my days events and what nots (i tell enough of that stuff in person) but I have to share this one.

So I have this thing with glitter, actually its the other way around , glitter has a thing for me. I hate glitter. Minus the spectacular use of it by Claire Joyce (an artist friend of mine who uses glitter). Glitter never goes away for some reason it really stays on my skin if it gets on my hands I have to either tweezer each fleck off or what I end up doing is sanding my hands to get it off. So one of my students (Laura Medley) sent me a quote that is so so true. Just thought I would share.

"If you get glitter on you, be prepared to have it on you for the rest of your life...because glitter is the herpes of craft supplies. " - Demetri Martin
