Anemonies 'n' things. One of my favorite tidepool games is "Animal, Vegetable or Mineral". Quite often, it's bits of all three. Wahnsinn!

This tree fell from up on top of the bluff. Slowly becoming beach, ocean. Very interactive scene here at the edge of the continent.

Coffee Filter Basket Mod

Coffee Filter Basket Mod, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

When the carafe of our coffeemaker broke a couple weeks ago, we went to the Laney Flea Market for a replacement. The new one's great, but not quite as tall as the original. By maybe a millimeter. This made the valve mechanism on the filter basket unhappy. The valve didn't open quite as much as it should have.

I fixed it by adding a dollop of five-minute epoxy to the effort-arm of the lever which works the valve. Rotating the basket to control the shape of the drop of epoxy as it set felt very familiar to this old glassblower.

Works great now.

Here's the front fork. Very nicely done.

Tweakcycle Seat

This bike was parked outside the library the other day. Completely paved with a mosaic of little bits of cut, colored paper. The seat's been sealed with clear packing tape.

Whew.

Looks and feels much better. Love that staple-gun!

So I got some nice crushed poly/acetate fabric. Removed the vinyl, took a pattern from it, and cut out new upholstry.
