Here's my first creation from this "Reproduction in Plastics" class that I'm taking. Ok... it's a little rough but I still think it's cool. In the first class, I started off by making a small dog out of clay. Then I made a mold of it out of rubber. The mold was still a little soft so we let it set until this week's class. Last night, I pried out the clay dog and filled the mold with polyuthrane. The polyuthrane sets pretty fast. You start mixing the two chemicals and it start to heating up and harden.

Cats Can't Taste Sweetness

I heard about this interesting fact about cats and other felines on NPR the other day - they can't taste sweet things. They're "sweet blind." Here's the full story about it. 

Here's a picture near the Ferry Building. I guess they're setting up for the SF Marathon this weekend. 

Full moon on the Bart platform in West Oakland. 

I just saw this print on my way to work and I thought it was cool. 

Only in SF will someone make a Dotcom musical... oh... the humanity... the humanity... 

Hmm... "Round" isn't the first thing that I think of when I think of mooncake. Usually, it's the double salty yokes and the sweet taste of lard. 

Danger... Danger, Will Robinson!!! 

I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a while back. Tim Burton did a pretty good job with it. He didn't mess it up like Batman. 

This is an art display thing at the Sony Metreon. The girl is running towards the plate of popcorn being projected on the screen. When she gets towards the screen, the popcorn scatters.
