09.02.12 I'm Weaving.. On a Jetplane...

(Dual-Posted on Livejournal, & Myspace.)

So I haven't got a lot of my SunDragon piece done lately: this Chemistry class is kinda kicking my butt. I think I nailed this Ch6 quiz though, without the E.C., and almost a week early! Not bad.

I've been working on a little Viking Whipcord too: not only as an awesome way to fill in my A&S50 Challenge, but also there's just something neat about it. I have plans to whip out a Kumihimo or two as well, probably in my colors (Purple, Green, Argent). The trick to me is really finding USES for cords. Kumihimo might be strong enough for bodice lacing, whipcord not so much (at least not the ones I've fonger-woven with DMC-3.) As Egdings maybe? Bet I could couch some in an embroidery piece for a neat touch (4 DMC Embroidery cottons, whipped very tightly? Not terribly period to mix media, but eh.)

Ok, back to trying to stretch these pained knees, dreaming about meeting my new niece soon, and Estrella!

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t...

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
