patent an invention
Horribly broken system 3 months ago

I was recently involved in the development of a patent portfolio for a tech startup, and I was shocked and appalled by how broken the US patent system is. I was thinking that it would be fun and exciting to patent an invention of my own, but now that I’ve gone through the process (on someone else’s dime) I really don’t care to try it myself until things improve.

create an action figure (read all 2 entries…)
3D printing 4 months ago

Although I was hoping to physically sculpt my figure and then cast it in resin, this is probably not feasible right now. I found a really neat company called Shapeways that will do very cheap 3D printing from 3D data, so I’m modeling my figure in Maya. I’ll model the joints as well, so when the printed pieces are put back together I’ll hopefully have a fully articulated figure.

Learn to clean, load, and shoot several types of guns
Beretta 5 months ago

Last week I had a chance to fire a beretta at an indoor range. It was my first time using a handgun and was a huge amount of fun (though I’m a terrible aim). I’m planning to make trips to the shooting range a regular thing.
