Tapping into the Potential of New York’s “Lost” Underpasses

The Brooklyn Queens Expressway (BQE) cuts through myriad neighborhoods on its route between Queens and Brooklyn. Sometimes it takes the form of an elevated six-lane highway with nothing but dark parking lots below; sometimes as a deep trench that segregates…

Multigigabit per second wireless broadband by 2020 with beam forming 5G technology from multiple antennas

Survey says Dallas residents like most things about the city (shopping, especially). But schools, streets are another story.

When outgoing(ish) Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm said Saturday that streets will get some major attention in the coming budget process, she was very clear to note that she’s just giving the people what they want.

Forever Rule! There is always going to be a limit to the length of a ruler, unless something clever comes our way. The Consistent-motion Ruler is clever and innovative. It has moving parts that require your thumb and index finger for support.

Dallas - Now with more bike lanes.

Shared, buffered and borrowed, bicycle lanes slowly spread through central Dallas:

When I think "Motorcycle"

This is what comes to my mind when I hear the work Motorcycle, Simple, Regal, and Sexy.

What I've been doing with myself

Alright, its been long enough that I should make another go at updating my blog.
I've been sick for the past two days with a sinus infection and I did not help by working in a poorly ventilated workshop.  So my imaginary readers you might be asking "What have you been doing?!!" well I can say with some pleasure that I've been making designing and working on a lot of different projects.

 I started working on a Garden to grow some basic foods I could eat at my new home.

The Garden is made up of two beds side by with with about a foot of walking space in between each other.

I planted some Apple Mint  along with some flowers in the supporting bricks to bring in some bugs that I would want to help fight off the bugs I didn't want.

My Garden grew rather quickly and I was left with a good number of jalapeno, tomato, carrots, okra (Thank you Emily), & and a guets Cantaloupe vine (just popped up out of the Æther)

I also made this little jewel, a project I need to get back to as its gone ignored for a few months now.  This is a Copper Condenser used for science'y stuff... 

I also tried my hand at making a a reagent kit, I was very successful at this.

  I also made some more rings!  a completely new method of doing it too, I made a plaster cast and melted down of lead free solder into it.
I have 11g of raw silver that I plan on using to make a real ring soon.

I also have been to another burn or two!
