For all my talk about papercraft, this was the first real papercraft I’ve done outside of paper chains, origami cups, and the occasional botched snowflake. Read on for complete first-timer notes, and an assembly walkthrough.
I want to thank everyone for reading, for commenting, for subscribing to the feed, and for generally being awesome. I hope this coming arbitrary Gregorian time period is as fun, as enlightening, as painless, and as unpredictable as possible. [read the rest]
Hot: Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall. That [...]
Hot: I think I’ve been listening to too much Röyksopp lately. For context, I’ve found myself highly enamored of a certain track off their album The Understanding called “What Else Is There?“. It features vocals provided by Karin Dreijer Andersson from an electronica duo called The Knife (whose album Silent Shout has also been on [...]
Hot: One look at our vending machines will tell you that office-dwelling drones like Your Humble Narrator are always seeking out exotic drinkable liquids. Especially if said liquids are reputed to be imbued with energizing or stupefying properties. Maybe it’s the condition of our imprisonment, which in this office typically involves non-ergonomic, castoff cubicles, brutally [...]

So far I feel [...]
Hot: I was just sifting through some of my recently viewed Wikipedia links and thought I’d share a few. Battle of Bywater – Tolkien related, spoilers if you haven’t already religiously read the trilogy nine million times. Watching the movies a bunch doesn’t count with this. Ahmet Zappa – More interesting than I’d originally assumed. [...]
Hot: I technically speaking didn't wear a bra today! *GASP* Given my overall build, it's typically fairly impractical for me to go without a bra and also without attracting unnecessary attention or getting annoyed. However, the last few days have left me with aches and pains in my back and ribs, and I believe it [...]
Hot: I died on Starbase Giania I was killed in a gas-filled access duct by Kyoukage the space pirate, whilst carrying… a T3KNOM forcefield generator, a COFFEE-20 plasma rifle, a CORSET forcefield generator, the Log of the USS Qcjeph, a KAT440 forcefield generator, a Ciaoenrico model hazmat suit, a Cawthravenian artefact, a GEHMAR-10 plasma rifle, [...]
