Now go make something that moves …
This morning I got a last minute email from Dale Dougherty at Make asking if I could quickly write something that personally introduces kinetic art and the Applied Kinetic Arts group for Maker Fire this year.  It’s an honor to be asked and I had allot of fun reflecting kinetic art and my friends who make […]
7 smallish pieces you might have missed at Burning Man
Burning Man is gigantic and filled with all manner of fabulously gigantic stuff to point your extra wide eyeballs at. You get there and feel overwhelmed by all the blinky lights and the UmmOmphUmmOmphUmmOmph of the massive flaming speakers. When you start asking around, you realize everyone is talking about the same two or […]
Site maintenance
We are doing some minor rearranging of the site over the next few weeks so if things look incomplete or missing, that’s the reason. Thanks.

Lecture on the relationship between Art and Science
Last week I had the great pleasure of of speaking to the National Cancer Institute about the relationship between art and science. Below I’ve posted the visual part of the presentation, but sadly there is not audio or video recording to go along. Here is a brief summary of my […]
The Inverse Graphing Calculator
Inverse Graphing Calculator The Inverse Graphing Calculator (version beta-1) is like a backwards graphing calculator. Normally, you enter an equation into your calculator and then get a graph of the curve. The way the IGC works is, you type something you’d like as your curve, like ‘Hello World’ or ‘I […]
Limited Edition Raygun Gothic Rocketship Papercraft Models For Sale
My limited edition papercraft models of The Raygun Gothic Rocketship are for sale on Makers Market. I’m not going to say exactly how we got these. But I will say there are several Tublians on Neblous-9 who risked a lot to get these to me. I hope none of them […]
Aperture Lamp
I’ve had this small Aperture that I made as a prototype for the Triaparator that has been kicking around my studio for a while. Well, I’ve decided to turn it into a lamp. Fitting huh? It’s still has that raw, being-worked on look to it but it’s close enough to […]
Norgren Lamp in progress
I’ve started working on a new lamp. The idea for this came from two components that have been kicking around on my work bench for a while that I realized would work well together. The first is one of those pneumatic things that prevents your trunk from slamming down on […]
Rocket Sam Build from the SF Panorama
About a month or so ago I picked up a copy of the SF Panorama which was almost too great for words. One of the best things in it was a Rocket Sam comic by Chris Ware that, on the back, had a paper-craft model of rocket. Well, the other […]
Almost Scientific Strikes Back
I could not resist. Go get your own. You know you want one. (via NerdCore)
Deep Aperture Sketch
Here is a sketch of a concept that I’m thinking of developing into a new kinetic sculpture.  In this animation the camera is rotating changing the view, however, the twists translation is controlled by simply rotating the upper black ring.
Experiments with conductive glass
I just got done running some cool experiments with some conductive glass. I’ve got some decent video that I’ll post once it’s processed. Here is a photo of the beautiful failure point to entice you. This is also a test blog post from my nifty Droid phone.

Science, Art and Bay Area culture
I had a really great time today talking to a seminar on scientific visualization and art, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, hosted by Dr. Stephanie V. Chasteen. Stephanie previously held my current position as a post doctoral fellow at the Exploratorium. The talk focused on my transition from a […]
