In a previous post I talked about using 3D programs to design jewelry. I’ve continued to play with using Shapeways to design and create rings. Here are a few examples of what I’ve done, along with some of the difficulties I’ve encountered along the way.
I'm going to offer a demo of Fluxx: The Board Game on Thu July 25 at the regular board-game night at Hobbytown in Nanuet NY. The address is: Hobbytown Nanuet 57 Rockland Center Nanuet, NY 10954 The store has a board-game night every Thursday. Folks arrive to play games at 7:30PM. Gaming lasts at least until midnight,…
It’s been months since I last did any substantive research on the biography of Isaac Bonewits. Several week ago, my writing coach suggested that I write a blog post on how to “get my mojo back.”
I finished Bioshock:Infinite last night. My reaction, in brief: - This is most beautiful game I've ever seen. They managed to crank out more detail and depth out of an aging console than I could have possibly imagined. - The game is violent, especially during melee. I cringed, but accepted it; I'd heard the story was worth…
Good news: I heard back from the doctor about the stabbing pains in my left side. Bad news (kinda): There was nothing on the X-ray. Good news: The doctor prescribed Amrix, a powerful muscle relaxant. Bad news: The pharmacy is out. I have to wait until they get more in. Good news: Maybe, just maybe, the pain…

Two additional items about my previous post: - It looks like power will probably not be restored at work until Tuesday afternoon at the earliest. Keep those cards and letters going to my g-mail address. - It was not a woodchuck that got into the transformer. It was a raccoon. Mrs. Bucktooth is relieved and overjoyed, but…
My work e-mail address isn't working. Please use one of my g-mail addresses (William, then a dot, then Seligman) or the Acorn Garden one (again, with a dot). The reason why the work e-mail address is down is that power is out at the lab. There was a serious transformer breakdown because a woodchuck crawled inside. Funeral…
Quick review: I just came back from seeing STID. Without spoiling: Benedict Cumberbatch is a great actor. He has the range to portray villains: nasty villains, noble villains, tragic villains. He could be Sherlock Holmes, the Doctor, Moriarity, the Master, or Richard III. But he's not the villain for this film. That, plus plot holes you could…
