Commissions?Dm me and we’ll talk. I don’t really have a hard open/closed gate on it.
Woohoo! I passed my red seal test! I just need about 1000 hours more to complete the apprenticeship!

@FlyingMarmot Oh hey.

Once upon a time I asked if you DXF's of various desert bus related shapes.

You graciously sent me a link to them or something, but now I can't find it at all, and am no in need of them once again.

help?!

My fourth year project is done!

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
I’m back in school again for the last time- so here’s my day. Alt has descriptions of each phot. #woodworking #marquetry #artdeco

The really funny thing about voting reform is there's a bloc which agrees first past the post is the worst option; but reformists are violently split between IRV, approval, and Condorcet-math-ranked-voting camps, so their support is split and they can't accomplish anything. This is the exact problem voting reform is meant to fix!

In effect we (North American culture) are continuously running a first-past-the-post poll for what voting system we should have, and first-past-the-post keeps winning.

Nice day for a hike.

Not bad for an evening in fusion 360. Need to fix the legs though, they’re too chonky.

Announcing Desert Bus Express!

Hey friends, At the end of last year’s Desert Bus for Hope, James and Andrew teased a smaller event that would be happening in May, and we’re happy to share some more details about what we’re calling Desert Bus Express. Starting on Friday, May 23rd, 2025 at 4pm PDT, for 24 hours, we’re going to be driving the virtual Desert Bus from Tucson to Las Vegas. Instead of donations extending our run, we’re aiming for the biggest impact we can make in a single day, all in service to the BC Cancer Founda

Desert Bus for Hope
It’s a cherry blossom sort of day.
