Inverse Graphing Calculator
The Inverse Graphing Calculator (version beta-1) is like a backwards graphing calculator. Normally, you enter an equation into your calculator and then get a graph of the curve. The way the IGC works is, you type something you’d like as your curve, like ‘Hello World’ or ‘I love you’. The IGC produces an [...]
My limited edition papercraft models of The Raygun Gothic Rocketship are for sale on Makers Market.
I’m not going to say exactly how we got these.
But I will say there are several Tublians on Neblous-9 who risked a lot to get these to me. I hope none of them lost any gills.
There are Top Secret Rocket [...]
I’ve had this small Aperture that I made as a prototype for the Triaparator that has been kicking around my studio for a while.
Well, I’ve decided to turn it into a lamp.
Fitting huh?
It’s still has that raw, being-worked on look to it but it’s close enough to the final idea that I’m okay posting it.
The [...]
I’m not sure if I’ve posted about it here (I’m loosing track of what I’ve been posting where) but I’ve been working on a papercraft model of the RGR in addition to the wooden model. I really had no idea how hard it was going to be to design a nice papercraft model of the [...]
I’ve started working on a new lamp. The idea for this came from two components that have been kicking around on my work bench for a while that I realized would work well together. The first is one of those pneumatic things that prevents your trunk from slamming down on you which is now broken [...]
About a month or so ago I picked up a copy of the SF Panorama which was almost too great for words. One of the best things in it was a Rocket Sam comic by Chris Ware that, on the back, had a paper-craft model of rocket. Well, the other night I totally geeked out [...]
I could not resist. Go get your own. You know you want one. (via NerdCore)
Here is a sketch of a concept that I’m thinking of developing into a new kinetic sculpture. In this animation the camera is rotating changing the view, however, the twists translation is controlled by simply rotating the upper black ring.
I just got done running some cool experiments with some conductive glass. I’ve got some decent video that I’ll post once it’s processed. Here is a photo of the beautiful failure point to entice you. This is also a test blog post from my nifty Droid phone.

Here is a great shot I found on Flickr of The Uria Engine at the Exploratorium show last week.
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 [...]

This shot of the Rocket was taken by Flickr user cookinghamus using a KAP (kite areal photography) rig.
Awwwww, ain’t it cute? It looks like a toy.
Last night I, and about 15 Raygun Gothic Rocket crew, went to the SF premiere of Cory McAbees awesome new space western musical move — Stingray Sam.
Of course, it was no real shock that it was such an amazingly original film. McAbee is responsible for creating The American Astronaut, a much loved, black and white, [...]

Hey all — I’m still in the process of acclimating to Earth after several weeks cruising the outer systems of Nebulous 9 aboard the Raygun Gothic. I’ll have a full report as soon as my primary systems are back online (reentry is a bitch) and various field reports start coming [...]
