I'm really trying my best to lose myself in learning and doing projects. I'm 3D printing all the things, I'm CNCing wood, I'm laser etching and cutting leather and fabric, I'm learning how to sew, and today going to try embroidery for the first time Meanwhile Friday at my job looks like this 🫠

As with so many things we're still learning how covid fucked us, but aside from venues closing during lockdown there's a whole new generation that really only knows online, and doesn't value the offline experience Rollback really is a double-edged sword, and has hurt the new player pool for locals

My favorite thing about modern personal manufacturing is the ability to iterate without waiting for the turnaround time, it's such a huge change Obviously 3D printers the poster child for that, but this is a great example of how smart design is always a part of the process too

These right wingers constantly acting afraid of their own shadows are just following the script Right wing media sells fear, and the foot soldiers go out and promote it It's the same reason Fox News wants you to think crime rates only go up, it's a useful narrative newrepublic.com/post/188197/...

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

The most valuable thing I learned from this was to remove barriers that increase the time it takes to iterate on failed designs. Our current design would have saved us at least 8 months of just waiting. Here’s a BTS talking about how we cut the iteration time down to 3-4 days.

Discord being real time really makes it a different beast I think? I mean, I do use it that way, but it's pretty hard to not just be part of "whatever people are talking about in the moment" there I do think that we need to define what "local" means better and strive for it

Next step is to figure out how to recreate my pattern in Fusion 360's sheet metal tools so I can create a base circumference and generate a flat pattern parametrically from it so I can easily make any size of my design It's just a couple stacked truncated cones after all

I loved taking my kids to the park, but there's definitely a primal attitude that can come out when around your kids I remember once some other kid pushed mine, when they were pretty young and our first child so I was a newish parent, and I was shocked by the flash of protective violence I felt

I often talk about thinking of 3D printers like sewing machines—tools that might not be in every house, but are pretty ubiquitous and with a little practice allow you a lot of freedom to make things But, I didn't actually know how to sew, so my wife taught me and I made my first hat. Cat for scale

I need UCLA to fight this as hard as they can. Whatever kind of pressure or presence alums like me need to create to see that done, I'm in. I played there as a kid, went to law school there, met friends there, played fighting games there. But if they cave & collaborate then no I didn't & get bent
