Problem Light!

This fourth of July holiday Jesse and I spent some time making a sweet Problem Light for my office cubical.

I used this basic design to create my own, the only major differencing being a small brass valve that can be used to turn the light on and off.

This art style is called ‘steampunk’ and there’s all sorts of interesting stuff on it over at wikipedia.

now… to the light!

No problem

There's a Problem!

And a video!

I’m pretty excited. It came out great and will be a sweet conversation piece in the cubical.

Double Dutch!

On Saturday night Schenk, Ruth, and I threw a monster double dutch party in Falmouth, MA. We had a boombox, a CD of funk favorites, ropes, and motivation for extreme good times.

Attendance was great. There were a solid 25-35 people there over the course of the two hours. It started a bit slow, and people were hesitant to enter the ropes of fury… but those who did… did well.

After a short while we switched from double dutch to single rope jumping. Check out Ruth’s sweet face in this image:

Some even had trouble with the single rope… but really? the extremeness of those that entered the rope showed through.

Including this guy who was jumping with the most awesome pink crocs one could ever imagine.

his name was obviously michael. Because all Michael’s know how to rock fashion to the Xtreme.

Yes, this double dutch event was most definitely a success.
