    Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time for “the holiday season” to swing into full force.  Time to start thinking about getting in those donations for Letters from Santa.  As I mentioned last year at this time, a local parent group runs a fundraiser every year called “Letters from Santa.”  The St. John’s Mercy NICUPS (Neonatal Intensive Care…

    Papercraft Friday #17: Saturn V Rocket

    I have a certain affinity for the concept of a Saturn V paper model.  I made the “Build Your Own Saturn V” model by Alan Rose back in the early 80’s, which still exists, although it’s a little worse for wear these days. The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model Gift Shop has a whole series of…

    Stick a fork in it…

    Well, I’ve made several posts that have been semi-related to Tabula Rasa, the action-oriented space MMO.  Now we hear this week that NCsoft is shutting it down in February 2009.  WoW claims another victim? I wanted to like Tabula Rasa.  Probably something to do with Richard Garriott being involved.  I was in the beta for…

I would love to do something like this.  I just have too many hobbies. …
