The Induction Engine and Distlation Tank have been Completed:

I can not believe that I haven't made post yet.

The induction engine is compete for now. I might go back and add more details later on.

I am considering adding a copper wire from both ends leading to the underside of the platform to somewhere.

---

The Distillation Tank has seen multiple additions and revisions. Some of the additions are listed below.

1. Steps up to the tank platform
2. A wooden ladder up to the top of the tank
3. Two feeder pipes from the top of the tank and down to the slop drain
4. Door for underneath platform

Since the pipes are bent to one side; weave had a small mishap.

I will come back to this.

Burning Chrome - William Gibson , A Reading

I usually like to hold on to the text I am reading, but in this rendition was very entertaining.

Eairler mentions of Burning Chrome

Burning Chrome

“Chrome: her pretty child face smooth as steel, with eyes that would have been at home on the bottom of some deep Atlantic trench, cold gray eyes that lived under terrible pressure. They said she cooked her own cancers for people who crossed her, rococo custom variations that took years to kill you. They said a lot of things about Chrome, none of them at all reassuring.”

Gibson, William. Burning Chrome. New York: Arbor House, 1986.

No One Can Save It Now

“But you are wrong; it is useless to cling to the past. Even before the Overlords came to Earth, the sovereign state was dying. They have merely hastened its end: no one can save it now --- and no one should try.”

Childhood’s End, Arthur C. Clarke, 1953

The Blade Runner Ad-blimp

This is one of those iconic scenes from the original Blade Runner and one of my favorites.

The sights and sounds of this video are outstanding. I need to make another run through the film and take a few more screenshots.

The many aspects of the iconic Blade Runner blimp advertising, and an out-of-this-world job.

Do you remember the Thunderbirds? The Thunderbirds seem to be having some sort a revival. Here to get you started is an audio book.

BBC Neuromancer Radio Play

I read William Gibson's sprawl series, in which Neuromancer is the first of a three part series. Gibson, although the first is credited for creating the word cyberspace. I remember reading this series for the first time while at the university. Being a IT major I remember this series changing the way I looked the world and the world of technology.

"So I went out into the night and the neon and let the crowd pull me along, walking blind, willing myself to be just a segment of that mass organism, just one more drifting chip of consciousness under the geodesics."

William Gibson, Neuromancer

There are two one hours segments to this radio play.

Blade Runner — Deleted and Alternate Scenes

I recently received a two dvd Blade Runner set. I have watched both on several occasions and had to add these two classics to my collection. Blade Runner number 1 was, at the time, one of my favorite movies. Imagine a whole new world in the future with people, vehicles, and structures. Blade Runner reminds me of the Sprawl series by William Gibson, namely Mona Lisa Overdrive, Neromancer, and Count Zero.

I Want to Build This

I found this structure on Pinterest and I want to attempt to build it. I have been wanting to start a long term project from mostly card stock. This should keep me entertained for a while.

The Assembly of the AT - M6 is Complete

Screenshot for Star Wars

Assemble has been completed. I still need to prime, paint, and detail the model. The instructions suggest paint consisting of 90% grey and 10% black. I don't see a scale listed anywhere on the box. So in milimeters the transport measures approximatly 75h by 65w. The piece is highly detailed and it will be fun to detail these with dabs of paint.

Even though I took longer to build the model it could have put together in about twenty minutes. For as simple as construction was I am very happy how things worked out. It is as small as it is beautiful.
