Via iFixit. I’m psyched to see the construction and guts of the Oculus Dev Kit 2. It’s given me a bunch of ideas for a much nicer 3D-printed version of my Google Cardboard setup! Have you spent any time with the Oculus Rift? What do you think of it?

Make: The Fort Romaine and the Frontier
Spent some time drawing, measuring, and mathing for one of my many projects tonight. #startrek #makeFollow Trevor on Instagram One of my long-term makes is to build a 24″ starship from scratch. And not a classic ship like the Enterprise. A new ship class, familiar but unique, and featuring a higher level of detail than anything I’ve done before. Something I haven’t done before, though, is to really dive deep into the design and to properly scale the base design (the Excelsior refit, as seen in Star Trek: Generations) up…

Make: Saint Walker Statuette
Used my Saint Walker model as the subject for a tutorial in class today. Blog post coming later. #mo365 #makeFollow Trevor on Instagram Spoilers ahead, by the way, for Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1. My running obsession with Saint Walker, the Blue Lantern, has been documented on the site before. A couple of times. And I would LOVE a Saint Walker statuette for my desk, because it would be nice to be reminded to hope when I’m doing paperwork or lesson prep at midnight (the way I have…

I often have this idea that a make has to be a scratchbuild, something from nothing — as though the kids also suffer my god complex. I have to remember that the joy of making doesn’t need to be from nothing and that my preconceptions and hangups and methods aren’t the same as theirs. Whistler and the Fish aren’t me, as much as it often seems like they’re picking up my mannerisms and values. And a kit from the craft store, plastic headbands and tape and time with Momma while…

A long day yesterday getting rid of junk in the basement means that, as soon as I get the recycling out, I’ll have all the space I need to build my new workbench in August. Excited to have the space for new makes! via http://ift.tt/1jOGZh1
Correction: That Wasn’t Ultron!
Well, it was, but not the Ultron we’re going to get in Avengers 2. When I posted earlier this week about how slick and not Transformers-y the new Ultron design was, I referenced this image: Well, I had pretty well ignored the fact that right below that picture was this one: My motivated thinking led me to believe that this was a dressed-up image for the big splashy cover, a way to get the Transformers audience on board, instead of being the actual Ultron design. But alas, no luck. A little bit…

Avengers 2’s Ultron is a fresh take on movie ‘bots
It’s kind of amazing how little we’ve actually seen of Avengers 2, the follow-up to Joss Whedon’s incredibly successful 2012 superhero mashup flick. You’d think that we would have had more leaks on a production that big. Still, it’s worth the wait. The movie’s villain, Ultron, has finally been revealed, and he looks awesome. He is the anti-Transformer; instead of going the route that director Michael Bay and ILM went with their staggeringly complex robots, some of which bled into Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, Ultron is a slick, modern throwback to science fiction serial villains…
