Converging on Meow Wolf Denver.
Finally visited the Convergence Station. I followed a sub plot about a lovelorn vending machine, but I never fully unraveled the mystery of the forgotten four.
I had to fish my drone out of the LA River!
Filming the mural that is called, “The Great wall of Los Angeles.” i crashed my drone by being a terrible pilot (i need more practice in tight spaces}). I had to fish my DJI Mini 2 out of the LA River. good thing it crashed onto a dry patch and suffered minimal damage.
The Great Wall of Los Angeles is a mural on one wall of a one mile stretch of the LA River. If you don’t know that, it is the flood drainage system of Los Angeles. There was a river at one point, but now it is a concrete riverbank accented with chain link.
At first i thought i just needed to flip it over and i could liftoff. alas, i had to construct an elaborate fishing pole of entangling loops attached to a telescoping dusting pole i had. Just out of reach, it took nearly 30 minutes and countless attempts to ensnare my little mini.
I Visited Niland, The Salton Sea, and Slab City.
I traveled to The Salton Sea to meet some of the alternative communities and see the incredible artwork coming from the area. Also it’s a great place to get in some drone flights.

Getting through a backlog of prints.
My 3D printer has been sitting half disassembled and sad in the corner of my office for weeks. A simple latch thwarting my repair. I finally sorted it out this week and it’s been printing nearly nonstop! i can even change filament mid print! watch live be3n.com/3D
This project just got the green light!
Things are getting brighter. waiting for more parts.
Had to visit Meow Wolf Las Vegas inside Area 15!
Area 15 is like a mall of the bizarre and interesting (and also bars). Inside, the Las Vegas Meow Wolf installation is called Omega Mart. It begins with a store and takes a bit of a turn.
Beyond and behind the Omega Mart is the Factory with alien motivation and unbelievable equipment. Everything is interactive, there are stories and backstories and branching pathways. puzzles, games, and mysteries to unravel. I went on a mission to hack the Omega Mart!

Discovering the Meow Wolf exhibit: Santa Fe
Meow Wolf: The House of Eternal Return is a 20,000 square foot building (once a bowling alley) now filled with over 70 room uniquely decorated with incredible interactive art. Yesterday we spent hours exploring. Just when we thought we’d seen it all we would open a cabinet or move a bookshelf and suddenly entirely new avenues opened for us to explore.
My original shadowbox idea finally realized in all its glory!
This was actually the idea that started it all! It took me a while to finally complete it. I know that i am missing the serial mouse from the original Macintosh and 128. Despite having one, i decided to keep my 128 with all its pieces. Besides, i never touched one until after college. The mice represented here had my hands all over them most of my life. I am very happy with how it came out.
Cartesian Geometry is for suckers!
I am very thankful for an early Thanksgiving toy! It’s a Monoprice Delta Pro! (originally $1400, they have dropped a few times and are now on sale for $550. Delta printers are so cool. They do not move at all like traditional 3D printers. i can watch mine all day. you can too, the live cam is back!
It was a snap to get it setup. The opposite experience of my Maker Select V2. Oh i love the auto bed leveling. There is no official Cura profile for the Delta Pro, so i had to throw one together from the Delta Mini and the specs. I did have a few failures. I bought some inferior filament and it would continually get clogged. After switching to the good stuff, my prints were beautiful. Then i started to play with the speed rate options.
