NASA
I'm really getting sick of NASA screwing things up. It turns out Lockheed designed the breaks upside down on that Sun probe thing that slammed into the desert a couple of weeks ago. They could have hired me for half the money to beat the shit out of it with a sledge hammer. Honestly, would that have looked much worse? I still think catching it with a helicopter is an insane idea. This was another cluster SNAFU.

Two Cool Tools
Inkulator 9000 makes pen and inc type drawings (think graphic novel or some comic books) from 3D meshes. The site appears to be Slashdot-ized at the moment, but the samples look very cool. This one requires you already have the 3D meshes (CAD drawings).
Rasterbater is an interesting product. It takes an image and blows it up, then splits it into printable pages. This is so you can print a large poster of your snapshot. It works well with faces and line art. Peter sent me this like a couple of years ago. This one is fun because it just works right off the web page. You send them a simple (good contrast) picture and it emails you back the PDF files to print on your printer.
