Getting ready for October in the STEAM Center. I might need to buy more glow in the dark filament because we're using a lot of it. The glow in the dark skull bowl is a popular source of brain candy already.

This is an “Unauthorized Personnel Only” sign

This is an “Unauthorized Personnel Only” sign that I made using my Future n0t Found typeface. It is briefly referenced in my cyberpunk short story, “Keep Portland Wired,” which is being republished in The Big Book of Cyberpunk, coming out in September 2023.

I used an adhesive magnet sheet to adhere it to a white board in my makerspace at work.

Printed using a color change from yellow to black PLA on a Prusa i3 MK3S+.

I wasn't expecting the first iteration of the acrylic version of my business card case to turn out so well. It's exactly as I imagined and I don't need to use a magnet for the latch because the Chicago bolt doubles as a really tight hinge.

I had a dream some time ago in which I invented time travel pizza delivery, where as soon as you start craving a pizza, one gets delivered, and then you send a request back in time to order the pizza to arrive when it arrived.

Today, I walked into Coffeehouse Five across the street from work and was handed my usual order before I got to the counter. The barista had made it for someone else who was waiting at a bus stop nearby, but the store got busy, so he wasn't able to take it out to him. I just happened to walk in at the right time. Now I just need some venture capital to tackle the minor issue of inventing time travel...
