Mina’s Minecraft Box Part 3
Most of the painting is done. It needs some detail work where sanding was difficult and where the damn cat walked over it while it was drying… Next, decals and stencil work when Nam gets back. Zombie Pigman lives!

Mina’s Minecraft Box Part 2
Sanded, prepped, and sprayed. Only lost one (hopefully unimportant) piece so far, when the cat came by and distracted me.

Fujitsu All-in-one Minecraft Box
Mina’s birthday is next week, so I’m tearing down an old PC I picked up yesterday to piece together her first VERY OWN computer. All the other kids get IPads, but my kids have to tinker with a rat box and learn command line first.

Blue Origin sounds like a Euro pop-synth metal co-op
Children of the present,
We proudly present today’s consolation prize for lack of flying cars:
Welcome to the space age, redux.
Teddy bear
Mina carries around her kitten like a stuffed animal and makes it have tea parties and stuff. This is a feral cat that was born outside and gets in noisy fights every night, but it loves her.

RMU Welcome Screen
This is a huge Windows-driven LCD with which I gauge my arrival to the university every morning. It’s usually not on when I roll by the first time since I have a lot of early morning classes, but on free days I sometimes see diagnostic screens, Windows startup, and the plethora of error dialogs that the operator has to click through before getting to the day’s scheduled programming. Sometimes I dream of hijacking it for giggles.

Thai Breakfast of Champions
If you’re a Sarakham native, you know where you can get this for 19 baht ($0.54 US, not including beer or sticky rice). And if you are not, I’ll take you.
Nissan Leaf Insane Mode?
Teslas are badass. This much is indisputable.
But Nissan Leaves (Leafs?)? Not so much.
It occurs to me that eco-minded people (or bespectacled geeks, as shown in the vid) occasionally want to be badass, too; it’s just that a Leaf is not ideally suited for that purpose… It would also very much surprise me if a stock Leaf could outperform a stock 180SX.
The first problem you would run into when trying to organize such a test, of course, is finding a stock 180SX. As a sister model of the Silvia S-13 (ahem!) and ultra-iconic drift car in all of its forms (beginning with the first-gen “pignose” models), there probably hasn’t been an unmodified one since approximately two weeks after the last third gens rolled off the production line in 1998.
I miss my Silvia.
