I never thought I would make a non metal pen and here we are. I love where this work has taken me! Looking back I have learned so much through this run of Engineered plastics. Really excited for the Peek drop on Wednesday and to apply these learnings to … instagr.am/p/CVLaEgyLgdJ/

New @Protolabs quoting interface debuting just in time to prevent me closing my head in my laptop after losing quotes-in-progress over and over on the old interface. Advanced mfg workflows are going to keep ratcheting up the importance of UX in how we make things.

Mask fit makes a difference. Elastomeric masks like the OSR mask help you achieve a better fit for better filtration.
98% of elastomerics passed fit testing versus 57% of disposables (Table 1) in a study involving 60 participants by the Australian Society of Anesthesiologists. Suggests (in general) it is easier for end-users to form a face seal with an elastomeric than a disposable.

Love this real life version of a bizarre hot wheels car carrier. Charmingly, the engineers had to design engines that could ship vertically without losing all their fluids from factory. H/t @the_prepared @pencerw autoblog.com/2013/03/01/vert…

Not my bailiwick but feeling deeply inclined towards spatial software/digital spaces - ways to navigate spatially in digital worlds (that aren't games) - especially given the current Togetheralone® moment. Interesting examples from John Palmer here: darkblueheaven.com/spatialso…

Finding your handle after the fact, @johnpalmer. Thanks for publishing these thoughts.
Digitally augmented (real) performance simulating the acoustics of a (real, and old) physical space. It would be interesting to see this applied to (fake) physical spaces from literature, movies, art, etc kottke.org/20/03/hear-how-ch…
Interrupting a three-year twitter hiatus with the hot take that getting a new keyboard and mouse in adult professional life is the same experience as getting new sneakers as a 10-year-old. I can now type 300 wpm and have solved the Riemann hypothesis.
