Make: kids’ Tron costumes, part 1
Testing whether the length of the EL wire I ordered (3m each!) will work for the girls’ Quorra costumes. Other than losing the arms, it looks like it’ll work great. #make #Halloween #cosplay #lovemakeshareFollow Trevor on Instagram It’s an early(ish) start to the kids’ costumes this year. In my past couple of Halloweens, I’ve scratchbuilt Whistler a pink Batgirl costume (that same year, I did a Supergirl costume for NJ and an Arkham City Batman costume for myself) and subsequently watched my girls wear store-bought costumes with the grim realization that I…

Get Outside and Save the Planet This Weekend – 6 Reasons Why You Should Be Playing the ARG Ingress with Your Kids
“Going for a walk” is way less lame when you’re saving the world in the process. There’s only so much hiking a kid will ever want to do (mine will cap out from boredom pretty quickly, even though they have endurance in spades), until the next portal they need to capture is almost two kilometres away. Then, they SPRINT THE ENTIRE WAY. “Why did we come here?” always has a sweet answer. “Because THE RESISTANCE NEEDS US” is more effective at convincing a child than “Because there are pretty trees and…

iFixit Oculus Rift DK2 Teardown
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…
