Unusual, but useful products

I am beginning to believe that all original ideas for products have been used. A few days ago I was thinking that it seems weird that my batteries are all giggling around loose in my camera bag. Today I received the latest edition of PC Photo magazine, and a few pages in was this odd, […]

My Astrological Chart

Yesterday Chris’ aunt generated my astrological chart. The chart itself is more astronomy than astrology, it is the positioning of various celestial bodies at the time of my birth and their relative positions to the location of my birth. The astrology part comes with the "reading" of the chart, which is an interesting psychological event […]

Spicy Chicken Seasoning

This evening I tried my own attempt at making a chicken seasoning. I was going for something mildly spicy with a bit of a bite, but nothing too hot for my dinner guests (my parents and Chris). I overshot and ended up with something very spicy, but that was considered to be a good flavor […]

Plans for Finishing Summer

Summer classes are over and I’ve made enough ceramics to want to bowl myself into a corner… so what’s next for the summer? Figure drawing – I’m borrowing a book from the UNC library about figure drawing, so I think next week I will try some figure drawing exercises and at least get myself a […]

Any chemists in the room?

I have been looking at definitions for certain processes and states that affect ceramic ware, and I came up with the following definitions… I find them a bit confusing. Is there anyone who can save me a few hours of deciphering what these mean (ignoring supercooling, which doesn’t affect ceramics)? Vitreous refers to a material […]

My Day – July 24, 2008

Got up at around 5am, and I didn’t do much for the first few hours except read email, watch some stuff on YouTube, bookmark some shit in Del.Icio.us and things like that. After a while I ate breakfast, and went back to email. I also read the feedback in my digital photography class from my […]

My Day: July 22, 2008

My day started at 1am today. I didn’t do much then, just browsed some porn and looked at modifications I could make to GITI and things like that. I ate breakfast around 5 or so.. had a waffle with natural peanut butter (yummy ). At around 6am I brought out my pottery wheel. It was […]

Rant: Stupidity of Web Users

I can understand the general Internet population not rotating their sideways pictures because it is a fairly hard thing to do… but what about the people who have 3000+ images on Flickr? There is a built-in rotation feature that is very fast and very easy to use on Flickr, but yet many people ignore it. […]
