I haven’t posted anything in a rather long time, so I thought I’d take a minute to brag about share with you a couple bits of popular media in which I’ve been mentioned recently. First up, is {this} lovely article penned by the talented Mr. Morgan. Unfortunately the New York Times, for which the piece was originally written, bumped it at the last minute in favor of a more fashion-centered Steampunk story. Disappointing, but I consider my inclusion in this article to be an unspeakably great honor regardless, and it is definitely rather high on my list of proudest accomplishments (especially since I got more ink than that fiend {von Slatt} (artist’s rendering) for once! Ha!).
Last but not least, we have the just-published {cover story} in the IEEE’s flagship publication, Spectrum. Though {von Slatt} (file photo) gets his usual overabundance of attention, my televisor and I get a much appreciated mention on {page two}, as well as a wonderful little write-up on {page 8} of their accompanying slide show. I’ve been a member of the local IEEE branch here at MTU for three years now, so it means a lot to be recognized in their magazine!
In other news, I do have some new contraptions to share so keep an eye on this site for updates over the next few weeks.

Hey, that’s awesome you got a mention in Spectrum! Are you active in your IEEE group? We have a GOLD group down here which i somehow managed to become chair of this year, but attendance has been an issue.

Rather nice to hear you are getting the kudos you desire. When praytell shall we see these little builds you speak of?
Great Job. Add getting Boing Boing’d to that list as well.
