<p dir="ltr">Having spent years building and designing fine furniture for others, my senses put me in the mind of the builder and user of fine works that have travelled through time to arrive at this moment in history of infinite "nows". Yes, history becomes progressively precious as that string of "nows" accumulates.  As a builder, the unexpected details left unfinished on the backs of drawers or on the undersides reveal decisions of the builder as the piece came together. Such <u>details</u> add rather than subtract as they reveal the journey of the hand craft.  Uneven dovetails predate later mechanization; a testament.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Travels open our minds to the infinite creativity of builders throughout our planet that have chosen to respect the trees from whence their hands have hewn organizers for possessions that frame our lives in a nest of refined quality.</p>

It's absence due to fire is a grim reminder that I never visited enough. It was so much fun for us to immerse ourselves in the extensive set used for various productions, most recently, "Westworld". We are so glad Vince did a Google tour in 2013!

Because of the close proximity of 2010 WC9, the 120 meter in diameter astroid currently moving between the Moon and the Earth, I stumbled on this description of the complexities of qualifying the movements such bodies in space. Having one of these hit the Earth would really ruin your day! Another concidence of stumbing on the lecture by astrophysicists who had time lapse photography from a variety of observatory telescopes is that I finally saw put into action some cameras I had had the pleasure of assembling while working at one of the technical jobs during lapses in my career choices.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IJhgZBn-LHg" width="480"></iframe> <a href="http://time.com/5276082/2010-wc9-asteroid-time/">A link for those of you looking for some light reading</a>...<a href="https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/"></a>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-5193493762723601172018-02-25T14:45:00.001-08:002018-02-25T14:45:06.539-08:00Color Grading and Color Correction Using the Color Balance Tool in Photo...<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8v1BjJxVeyk" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-73755785666001499922018-02-15T13:32:00.001-08:002018-02-15T13:32:26.673-08:0010 MUST HAVE WATERCRAFT FOR YOUR SUMMER ADVENTURES<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cc1ZUG6hylA" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-1876072492031856342018-02-14T11:06:00.001-08:002018-02-14T11:06:38.703-08:00Microlino: scooter inventor revives old microcar as electric<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8lTfYLuAeFU" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-34481745072449748152018-02-13T13:28:00.001-08:002018-02-13T13:28:32.601-08:00Always On - Flying on the world's fastest sailboat<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QP_9rFbvY_Q" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-69159870471094966252018-02-12T02:42:00.001-08:002018-02-12T02:45:18.102-08:00Its for you metheny and mayshttps://youtu.be/c3F-2lmbXqEjonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-34948470197143902492018-01-31T03:52:00.001-08:002018-01-31T03:52:10.552-08:00How to Use Blender's New "Ultimate" Shader: The Principled BSDF<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4H5W6C_Mbck" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-46714146533343618092018-01-31T01:54:00.001-08:002018-01-31T01:54:48.187-08:00Blender Beginner Modelling Tutorial - Part 1<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yi87Dap_WOc" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-63531146046083519962018-01-31T01:43:00.001-08:002018-01-31T01:43:08.389-08:00Too busy to learn Blender?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/39AV16MshrE" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-87685160281132776082018-01-31T01:04:00.001-08:002018-01-31T01:04:21.909-08:00The Secret Ingredient to Photorealism<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m9AT7H4GGrA" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-56175372479817486562018-01-31T00:46:00.001-08:002018-01-31T00:46:15.116-08:00Create a Subway in Blender in 20 minutes<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nb6rSMAooDs" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-24859902266865748642018-01-20T08:46:00.001-08:002018-01-20T08:46:16.270-08:00Amazing Homemade Inventions 2017 #17<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H9OmEQNs7gc" width="480"></iframe>jonphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551835858347026292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814395208197049281.post-70924655622674162632018-01-20T08:40:00.001-08:002018-01-20T08:40:10.985-08:003D Printed Mechanical Iris Box!
