HoA Laboratories presents: Experements in Brass Etching
« on: September 20, 2007, 04:36:37 pm »
You all know me as the Honorable DeathOfScythes.  Atrocious speller, cynical bastard and keeper of the lint.  But in my spare time, I'm also the head of research in the department of Cruel and Unusual Science at the House of Awesome Laboratories.  And I present to you the first written up project:
 


I made a writeup of the procedure and I fully plan on making this a regular column.  Next up: the keyboard.

Nice job, very nice.
...and no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

Very nice.

If I ship you a Zippo and a design, would you do something for me?

I shouldn't be allowed to play with stuff like that.
I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not...I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself...I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive...I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

Sure.  Has to be brass or another copper alloy though.

:D

I'll let you know when I've got one...guaranteed to be awhile, though. Couple months, at least.
