If you missed it Make blog did a nice interview with me regarding my affiliation with Applied Kinetic Arts. I’ve reposted the text below. You should also go check out the interviews they did with Nemo, Ben and Jeremy. Over the past few weeks, [...] At this very moment I am with the rest of the Five Ton Crane Crew in Milton, Delaware (Rehoboth Beach, really) installing The Steampunk Treehouse for the very last time. Why is this the last time? Well, it is now part of Dogfish Head Brewery! The install is going well, and the folks at the brewery are [...] Promotional poster for the Raygun Gothic Rocketship Rocket Stop by Five Ton Crane’s kick-ass Jody Medich.
I think we’ve just recovered from bringing The Neuron Chamber to Maker Faire 2009 and now Maker Faire 2010 is upon us. We are going to have a lot going on this year. In addition to once again showing new work with the ever awesome Applied Kinetic Arts, we are also going to be putting together our mother fucking [...] Almost Scientific will be showing The Triaparator and some new odds and ends on Friday, March 5th. The show is at 416 26th Street, Oakland, (Betw.Telegraph and Broadway) This is the first show of the nascent Five Ton Crane.
Last week I delivered the second of two talks on “Dog Park Science,” at the Exploratorium. You can find the audio of the first talk here. The two talks are on very different topics. The first is on the evolution of the dog, while this second one is about some of the core animal psychology [...] Experiments with conductive glass from Almost Scientific on Vimeo. Here we’ve created a dielectric barrier discharge with transparent, conductive glass. Thank you all for coming to the show last night at The Exploratorium. I had a great and exhausting time. It was fantastic to see so many friends out in the crowd, and I’m sorry I did not get to talk to any of you for as long as I would have liked. I’d like to [...] On Friday the Almost Scientific team documented a series of experiments conducted on the Plasma Tubes of the Uira Engine. These experiments were largely in preparation for November 5th, 2009, when we will be doing a controlled testing firing of The Uira Engine at The Exploratorium in San Francisco. The goal of these experiments was to qualitatively [...] I had a really great time today talking to a seminar on scientific visualization and art, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, hosted by Dr. Stephanie V. Chasteen. Stephanie previously held my current position as a post doctoral fellow at the Exploratorium. The talk focused [...] My friends … my crew. I come in at around 1:30 mins. Check out this Cnet article on the RGR, featuring a very garbled explanation of the Uira Engines drive mechanism. I had no idea this guy was shooting video with his DSLR. This video starts pretty much right after I finally got it all working. There is also a shot of the Dihemispheric Chronaether [...] Here is one of the videos that will be playing insider The Raygun Gotic Rocket. It was written and directed by Ben Carpenter, Edited by Wendy Rolon and preformed by Me and David Shulman. Paul Doherty is one of the worlds best science teacher and communicator I know, and as one of the senior scientists here he is also my adviser at the Exploratorium. Here is Paul in his element, showing off one of his fun, cool physics toys and teaching about Newtons laws on public television: QUEST on KQED [...] Also be sure to check out Tom Sepe and his S.C.O.U.T. rover, which will be running critical missions for the Raygun Gothic Rocket!: My friend Grant Diffendaffer has made some really cool rayguns for the rocket: |
