BrickArms and BrickForge are featured in a Wired.com video on small-run manufacturing. "Atoms are the new bits"

Found a video with a cool take on Firefly via a tweet by Adam S. Baldwin.

Got on a roll and built LEGO #8041 Technic: Race Truck and LEGO #8049 Technic: Tractor and Log Loader. Will try to post photos tonight. So happy pneumatics are back.


January 26, 2010:
Even though I still buy plenty of System sets (ncluding all the new Atlantis sets), I find I'm becoming much more interested in the Technic sets. I've recently found some good links on the subject.


January 21, 2010:
It's official! The Orlando Sentinel covered today's press conference announcing LEGOLand Florida. The park is scheduled to open by the end of 2011. The quick turnaround is due to building over the top of the old Cypress Gardens park, rather than starting from scratch.


January 20, 2010:
According to the Winter Haven, FL blog, Merlin Entertainment will soon begin construction of LEGOLand Florida.

If you look up the word Irony in the dictionary, there's a video clip of Keith Olbermann calling Scott Brown a "horrifically unqualified senator."

Cool Mindstorms tube-tank.

Trying to figure out recording in Captivate. Just love re-learning an application on a quickly passing deadline.

Pretentious word for the day: Pedantic


January 18, 2010:
Think I'm going to convert the stock Teknomeka into the up-armored "HardTack" version in the third instruction PDF.

Saw "Book of Eli" today. Not at all what I expected, but very entertaining. One of the most interesting post-apoc movies I've seen.


January 17, 2010:
Added a new custom LEGO minifig sketch to the Doodles set on my Flickr photostream. By request, original Firestorm, Ronnie Raymond. Until I get time to figure out Illustrator (not likely anytime soon), I'll keep posting these as cleaned-up sketches.

Pretentious word(s) for the day: Paradigm Shift


January 14, 2010:
Started reading Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton. The fact that the book was released after he passed away almost sounds like the plot for one of his novels. Kind of sad that this will be the last new book I'll be able to read by my favorite author.

With Michael Crichton gone, and Tom Clancy apparently retired from writing, I guess it's time to start looking into other authors to follow.

Pretentious word for the day: Pedagogy


January 12, 2010:
Finished Halo: Evolutions: Essential Tales of the Halo Universe. Good collection of short stories from a good assortment of authors.


January 07, 2010:
The Teknomeka stock build is done. Almost 4,000 parts. 28" tall. And, 100 photos on Flickr.


January 02, 2010:
I've completed the feet, ankles, and lower leg bones of the Teknomeka build. More photos posted to Flickr.


January 01, 2010:
I've completed the first of the three PDF's available for the Teknomeka build. I've posted more photos of the final assemblies and the completed upper torso, including the arms and headof the skeletal structure of the head.


December 31, 2009:
I've completed the shoulders and the skeletal structure of the torso for the "by the book", Teknomeka build. I've posted more in-progress photos.


December 29, 2009:
I've completed the arms and hands for the "by the book", Teknomeka build. I've posted more in-progress photos.


December 28, 2009:
I've finally been able to start the first, "by the book", Teknomeka build. I've posted photos of front and rear views of the skeletal structure of the head, for lack of a better term, the skull.


December 27, 2009:

I decided to take some time and do a little re-sorting of the parts for the Teknomeka build. 4,000+ parts takes a little more organization than your average build.


December 25, 2009:
All the pieces for the Teknomeka build have arrived and been sorted. There are a few pieces I ordered extra of, in anticipation of future builds, but, for the most part, this is all for a "by the book" build.

Hope to actually start building this evening.

Found a couple more of the new LEGO sets at the local Toys R Us store last night. Added new photos to the 2010 Sets set on my Flickr photostream.

Added a new sketch to the Doodles set on my Flickr photostream. This one is a Work in Progress while I continue to try to figure out Illustrator. DC Comics' Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick.


December 14, 2009:
Picked up a copy of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies!: A Book of Zombie Christmas Carols" by Michael P. Spradlin at Borders last night. Yes, even Christmas caroling can be fun with the judicious application of the walking dead.


December 13, 2009:
Found several of the new LEGO sets at the local Toys R Us stores yesterday. Bought and build several of the small ones. Will wait for the local LEGO Store to get the bigger ones, and buy them there. Added a lot of new photos to the 2010 Sets set on my Flickr photostream.


December 09, 2009:
Added a new sketch to the Doodles set on my Flickr photostream. One of my favorite DC Comics second-stringers: Red Tornado.


December 03, 2009:
The LEGO-related links are working now in the Links section.


December 02, 2009:
Found some inspiration for future Teknomeka builds during the move. Gundams designed by one of my idols, Syd Mead. http://flic.kr/p/7jZ5sh


November 30, 2009:
I've given up on trying to maintain multiple sites. Just too time-consuming and too confusing trying to decide what content should go where. I've decided to collapse everything down into this site, KH3D.com. I probably won't get most of this done until the holiday break. So, in the meantime, you can find me on Facebook, Flickr, TurboSquid, and Twitter, hence all the little buttons in the new navigation banners.

In case you're curious, yes, I am still doing the Teknomeka build. I finally received all the parts, and got them labeled and sorted, but the move is taking a lot longer than expected. So, the build is most likely also delayed until the holiday break.
