My best wish of the week:
When we discussed prototyping the other day, Marty asked me what would be the ultimate 3d physical model – prototyping technique we could use in the office. I told him that what I want doesn’t exist yet. If we’re not going to make something with our hands, if we are no longer going to go through the actual process of “making” and instead send a file to the 3d printer and get someone in the shop to do it, well I then think what we need is a 3d physical modeling technique that is as fast and as cheap as a screen refresh. Millisecond refresh rate, millisecond model making … for zero dollar. THAT’s my ultimate. He laughed at that, but I still stand by what I said. Don’t ask these questions if you can’t handle the answer.
The best conversation I’ve had in a while:
In the meantime, Satoru and I have been having an ongoing conversation about what we could hook up to a USB key [laptop is a must] while at work. Here is what we have come up with so far:
- A cup of coffee. Just imagine, you get your coffee cup hooked on your laptop. The cup heats up and keeps track of where you are with the levels and caffeine intake. Always know where you stand … it’s important.
- A cooling plate with a small ventilator or a mini AC machine. It’s hot in our office, we need the air.
- A hologram of my model. Making it easy to work with model stuff and instantly see as it would be, in 3d.
- Speaking of 3d, we need a USB key – milling machine to mill mini version of our models.
… The list is growing …
The best life strategy I came up with recently:
I’m dying for a gigantic earthquake right now. I need a short vacation, just enough so that I can relax and ignore work-architecture-alarm clocks and responsibilities.
This might be quite a drastic measure, just to avoid the things that consume most of my life. What the hell, we don’t get the time off from work, so we can only rely on death and natural disasters.
The most embarrassing thing that happened to me today:
I got voted best person of the week at Mo0rphosis. What the fuck does that mean?
The best lifestyle choices I made today:
Cheetos for breakfast, Coffee for lunch and I think I might even go for some cheese tonight. Live dangerously, that’s how it’s done.
