TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Ok. I see it now. It looked like Colbert slugs for AmericaTM. What are they made from? Or is that some kind of lacquer giving them that gloss?

They're glazed earthenware. I made the models from shapeways parts and sculpey, and then made molds from the models.

My kiln is sitting in my back yard under a canopy, wrapped in a tarp. The pipes in this picture are sitting on top of it.

They do look like some kind of slug or something though, don't they? I've been calling them "Flukes".

That's awesome. Wish I had space for a kiln.

They're hard to find a place for sometimes. When I've lived by myself, I just set it up in the kitchen, but roommates always make me do it outside.

I thought about smuggling it into my third floor apartment at one point last year. Finally decided against it.

Those are WONDERFUL!

3D 'photobooth' in Harajuku, Japan.  nice little models they spit out.  pricey though.



Also:
Makerbot now has the first 3D printer retail store.  anybody in NYC that could check it out?

Hey, now.
3D Printing no longer just for engineers and hackerspaces.
It would seem that 3D printing will be coming to a Staples store near you! awesome...
the Mcor printer they will be using is a paper based 3d printer.  standard 3d printer resolution (50x50x100 um) ,full color (1mil + CMYK) ,pretty decent build area (256 x 169 x 150mm)

it'll be neat to see what happens bringing this to the masses with a big ass company like Staples.
