My Bernina 730 US Record ~Thank You Granma!!

Today I was able to get someone with two-working hands to load the sewing machine packages into the car. Drove 30 minutes to the only authorized Bernina dealer in a three city reach, and saw my sewing machine for the first time as the tech unwrapped it!

It's beautiful! The tech was confused at first, asking if it was the embriodery model and I being only able to tell him it was heavy, had the machine, and a case. When he opened the box, the sound he made would give you the impression that HE was getting a present! Apparently Bernina started reusing numbers after awhile, and in the background of the far shot you can see a new 830. I saw the new 730, a 2grand model with more bells and whistles a beginner seamstress could ever hope to understand!

He's going to strip it down, inventory and clean the parts, check the oils and such, and then I'll be able to start playing with it! I'm in a queue, which isn't so terrible as I have a broken hand anyway. I do want it done right, so there's no real benefit to rushing anyway!

SO EXCITED!

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!
