Science for Sadists or Aeronautics from Aerchie

I’ve always heard those Aussies were somewhat rough around the edges. Having seen the instructions for creating your own airplane that Archie posted on his blog, I have to say that was somewhat understating the case, in the way that the Irish troubles are referred to as the Troubles.

This, my friends, is how Bruce goes to Kitty Hawk. Click on the image to go to his site and see the rest of the instructions. And you’ll need your airsick bag.

Crane: a revolutionary new web-free, wireless image editing suite

Crane, the image editor for the 21st Century

From the industry leaders who brought you Worth1000, which is surely worth more than that even in a depressed market, comes the remarkable new Crane image suite. A fully tactile image manipulation experience, Crane replicates many of the most popular features of traditional, “online” image editing tools such as Adobe Photoshop and CorelDraw.

For example, to draw in Crane, simply place the Pencil Tool between your index finger and thumb (located on your dominant hand). Press the tip of the Pencil Tool down onto your canvas and using controlled strokes, you will be able to simulate the act of digital drawing on your canvas. The Pencil Tool is entirely pressure sensitive meaning the harder you press down on the Pencil, the darker your strokes will appear on the paper, just as if you were using a real Wacom drawing tablet…

To save your creation, follow these instructions:

Step 1. Do not throw your creation into the garbage can.

I heartily recommend Crane, the only fully paper-based, meatspace-compatable, wireless and webless image suite, available now from the fine people at Aviary.

Mobile Version

Coming soon, for the artist on the go, we are currently working around the clock to complete Crane Mobile, our mobile version of the image editor.

Yes, more of the view from Workspace and environs. Blogathon is a hard slog, but there are compensations. Like stealing pictures from your friend John.

token Blogathon do-gooder post

I promised the lovely man who bought me lunch that I’d post something that would warm the cockles of somebody’s heart today, and since none of my friends have any heart-cockles at all, I’m going to have to scatter my posts pretty widely in hopes of hitting a soft-cockle-hearted person, so here’s a moving video about recycling.

Enjoy.

Thrills! Spills! It’s positively electric(al)!

Meerkat Sniper Caught In the Act

Longtime readers will know that we at the ol’ raincoaster blog accept no mere whispers; gossip is to us as the obscene fingerings of the first filthy breeze of the approaching sandstorm. No, we are all about the scientific proof here at Operation Global Media Domination HQ.

Thus we pass along the following, conclusive proof of the Great Meerkat Conspiracy, the obscene worldwide plot to banish Fairies from the face of the Earth and seize control of the barrows for their own nefarious meerkattarian purposes. What was once only whispered may now be forwarded to CNN (appropriately link-credited, please!).

Meerkat Sniper caught in the act, the bastidge!
