This was the last of the Grasshopper Adventure Series for 2015. And it was the icing on the pain cake.A total of 83 miles and 8800 feet climbing with a mix of road and dirt. I cracked before the final climb up Willow Creek but was able to spin my way to the end. Ouch.…

CNC Penny
This is a model of a penny I created using a Image2Surface script I wrote for Autodesk Fusion 360. With the script I was able to import a heightmap image of a penny and generate a mesh. I wanted to mill the model so I then converted the mesh to a t-spline surface. Fusion 360 doesn’t…

2015 Boggs Funduro
More pictures here: 2015 Boggs Funduro I raced all three days and enjoyed and suffered the whole time. The new 8 hr course was a blast but definitely a butt kicker compared to the previous year’s. The hill climb hurt and then came back to remind me through the ache in my legs and lungs. The…

Voronoi Sketch Generator Script for Fusion 360
I’ve created a small Fusion 360 add-in for generating Voronoi patterns. When run, the patterns are generated as either straight edged polygons or closed splines within a sketch. These can then be used for creating or modifying bodies. You can play with a version here on the site: Voronoi Sketch Generator The flat sample model…

Yin Yang Espresso Cups
These are cups that I designed and based on the Yin and Yang symbols. A pair of these will cleanly mate together and form a circle. I modeled these in Autodesk Fusion 360. I used the manufacturing (CAM) support to generate the CAM for machining them out of 6061 aluminum using a Haas VF 2SS…

Here’s a quick and dirty animation I just created using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2015. It now has flipbook support and I decided to try my hand at it. Well, I’m obviously not an animator nor able to sketch 🙂 but the app made it fun and easy.

2014 CCCX Cyclocross Race 8 Singlespeed
It’s the new year and cyclocross is still going strong in NorCal. Drove down to Monterey still heavy from holiday cookies and celebrations for the 8th race of the CCCX Cyclocross Series. Brought the single-speed so I would suffer the most but keep it simple. The wet weather has made the Fort Ord course nice…

The rains have finally come to NorCal and with it the creeks are beginning to flow. I paused on my ride in Joaquin Miller Park to capture the sounds of one of the creeks. Click play below to have a listen.

Rembrandt is Boring or We’re becoming the Hunchback of Notre Dame
I was inspired to create this image after seeing the original, “Rembrandt is Boring”, on All Hail The Black Market’s post. There are lots of stories on the web warning of people “becoming hunchbacks” from prolonged usage of mobile devices. But that might not be the case according to one article: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/ridiculous-warning-from-chiropractors-about-alleged-health-effects-of-texting/ Regardless, the original photo above strikes…
A mighty fine website!
