Sam made a pretty spaceship a few weeks ago:
It’s quite a nice design, different from something I’d build myself and making good use of the swoopy bits I bought recently as part of a rather wank anime-style robot.

LEGO Sam’s Spaceship
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Deadwood Style Moustache
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007This shouldn’t really warrant an entry all its own but I write in case it falls off. It being moustache:
All Deadwood style, with the wank little chin bit too. I don’t know… it’s pretty? Also for those who do not see me often.
Tomorrow more LEGO, I only wait for daylight.
Module Results
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Got last term’s module results on Thursday and write them here so as I don’t forget:
78% for Java Programming
82% for Maths
85% for UNIX and Hardware
88% for Databases
I did well, but need to make sure I keep trying, else I shall fail later. To contrast the above, only got 43% for an in-class test a couple of weeks ago that required programming on paper. I can program on computer but need to practise on paper; need to learn how to write down that which I automatically know how to make go.
LEGO Stop-Motion Sea Boyband
Sunday, February 18th, 2007Another couple of stop-motion tests, made yesterday with Kimberley:
( LEGO Stop-Motion Sea (752KB QuickTime Movie) )
( LEGO Stop-Motion Boyband (1.1MB QuickTime Movie) )
So the ideas were a little thin on the ground. A storyboard seems to be the way to go, that there’s a plan for what the LEGO men might do. If I get some cowboy LEGO, I could even do some Deadwood parodies…
PS – The spaceship is courtesy of Sam, built last week.
LEGO Stop-Motion Dance-Test
Friday, February 16th, 2007Aw yeah… I’ve been meaning to do this for years but only just today downloaded the software that makes it easy:
( LEGO Stop-Motion Dance-Test (441KB QuickTime Movie) )
I last made stop-motion LEGO movies when I was 13 years old… Now I shall make more!
Barack Obama
Monday, February 12th, 2007This man should be the next president of the USA.
I first heard of him last year, when he spoke in defense of Habeas Corpus:

This man will never be president of the USA.
Bob-damnit.
LEGO Glass Spaceship
Friday, February 9th, 2007On account of the eyes, I’ve never actually seen the stars in anything other than photographs.
The idea for this model was that it be a self-sustaining craft for two people to get from one place to another. The replicator provides food and water etc., extracting the base material it needs from any matter the ship passes through or near and also the output of the crew’s stillsuits. Due to space limitations, for the pilot and passenger to swap positions, the stillsuits double as spacesuits and a brief walk outside is necessary.
Most important of all is that the passenger section is covered almost entirely in glass. This is so that the person in the back can fall asleep surrounded by stars.
