There will be a test flight tomorrow, an attempt to win the Sikorsky Prize.
The election results beautifully mapped. Includes some analysis on a NDP/Lib merger.
One question though: Folks are framing an NDP/Lib merger as “uniting the left”, but the Libs aren’t really left, are they?
Actually, two questions: Do we really want a two party polarized political landscape like the US? Political discourse in Canada is already black and white enough, let’s not remove all the grey.
“My Winnipeg is an old man in a moth-bitten buffalo coat.
He got it from his father, who used to be a police officer here before the streetcars went to rust. It was balled up in the attic, stuffed in a pair of tattered Eaton’s bags and crushed beneath a box which held his mother’s set of silver. The forks and serving spoons were black with tarnish; he made his daughter take them to the pawn shop. She never came back with any money: he hopes she just took them home, but never thinks to ask.” read more

Etching for Artists and Hackers: Printmaking & Circuit Boards
I recommend clicking on the menu button to view as a full screen presentation.
These slides — from my talk at the 5th Skullspace Hack-a-thon — explore the history of etching, intaglio printmaking, and the etching of circuit-boards. Etching is the process of using corrosive chemicals to cut into the unprotected parts of an object’s surface.

Chemical Etching For Artists and Hackers
This Saturday (April 16th) I’ll be giving a talk on chemical etching at the 5th Skullspace Hack-a-thon.
Etching is the process of using corrosive chemicals to cut into the unprotected parts of an object’s surface.
Etching has both artistic and industrial uses. I have experience with both types of etching and I’ll be sharing my knowledge of:
- The History of Etching.
- Etched Copper and the Printing Press. (Printmaking)
- Etching Circuit Boards for Electronic Prototyping.
I’ll see you there.
In the meanwhile, check out the etchings of my father, Allan Geske.
