Dream: January 31, 2010
I’m in my bedroom, arranged as it was when I was a kid, looking at all the LEGO models on display. There is a motorcycle, a spaceship. Most of them are motorized, and have perpetually spinning wheels and blinking lights. I have all of the boxes stacked up alongside my old desk and furniture. The boxes are clean and white. They look like the packaging for Apple products. They open up to...

Pratt's Steam Whistles →
BLDGBLOG has a video of Pratt’s steam whistles, which are powered up and played every New Year. Apparently, our campus has the oldest privately owned steam powered generators in the United States. And what do we do with them? Turn them into mega-instruments, of course. The article links to a page on SteampunkWorkshop.com with photos of what has long been my favorite place on campus, the...

Dream January 26, 2010
My aunt and her husband moved out of their apartment and left a really weird paint job. They left a lot of stuff behind. There was a lot of food left in their refrigerator. I came to the conclusion: THEY ARE HAVING A BABY. IT WILL BE A  BOY. This is the same aunt and uncle that were in a dream that I had last year, where a baby got hit by a truck because they had put it on the ground in a parking...

The Moon for its Citizens
I just purchased Wallace Cochran’s The Moon For Its Citizens: A History of the Rocket from Hermes Trismegistus to the 23rd Century from Printed Matter. First, because it was pretty. Bell Gothic, a favorite of mine. Letterpressed, even! The ink seems to have been a bit smudged, but that can be forgiven, as what has truly won my heart is the cover stock. The cover stock. The book’s...
