Halloween stuff — way too late for this year
- Twitchie robot kit. Looks like fun innards for a bunch of different props.
- Great singing skull.
- Haunted bookshelf. Don’t love the prop but really enjoy the cam mechanism, turning simple rotary motion into something more interesting.
Second time I’ve tried to post this. The WordPress PressThis bookmarklet is remarkably buggy.
Marion Ohio — the highlights
- OHS - Places – Harding Home. Contains almost all the original furnishings of Harding.
- Harding Tomb — tho we always called it the Harding Memorial. When I was very very young I was skinny enough to slip thru the bars.
- Other Marion Museums — the Stengel-True Museum, Unuion Station, the Wyandot Popcorn Museum. Wyandot historically produced much of the popping corn in the country…
- Hence the annual Popcorn Festival
- The Palace Theatre, a shockingly nice theatre for this size town. Built during Marion’s heydays in the 1920s…
- Unfortunately there is nothing much to see from Marion’s industrial boom days, but from Wikipedia: “Products of the Marion Steam Shovel Company (later Marion Power Shovel) built the Panama Canal and in the 1960s, NASA contracted with Power Shovel to construct the crawler-transporters that moved the assembled Saturn V rockets, used by Project Apollo, to the launch pad. In 1911, 80% of the nation’s steam shovel and heavy duty earth moving equipment was manufactured in Marion, Ohio.” I worked 3 summers for the Shovel.
- Nearby towns — Waldo (Home of the G&R, famous for fried balogna sandwiches), LaRue (smallest town ever to have an NFL franchise)

PSU 13, OSU 6
Scout.com: Big Ten Roundup – Week 9 Standings & More. Sigh. A beautiful night and a hard fought effort by our guys, but we just made one mistake too many against a tough and disciplined opponent. Sigh. Was great to be back in Ohio Stadium for the first time in 20 years.
I’ve been to two games this year and both losses. I’m not feeling too lucky, I am bringing some of that bad Seattle sports mojo with me apparently.

OSU 45, Sparty 7
I counted no fewer than five stiff-arms and his Beanie Hop was pure Buckeyegasm for the faithful — Eleven Warriors » Road Warriors.

What various Sparty’s are saying
- SpartyMSU: 2008 Game 8: MSU vs. Ohio State. “The Spartans match up well in this game… The Big Mo is with the Green and White”
- The Enlightened Spartan. “Can the Spartan defense contain Pryor enough? YES. Can the Spartan defense cause turnovers and stay steadfast in the red zone? YES. Can the Spartan offense get an efficient game from Hoyer to balance the Ringer running game? YES. What does that mean? Spartan victory.”
- GreenandWhite. Lansing press coverage
Go Bucks!

Boarded up windows
MAKE: Blog: DIY Halloween: Boarded up windows — one way to do this. An old post of mine with some other ideas. I built my own boarded up windows using foam board — lightweight, easy to hang with a tension rod, leaves no marks.

Dremels, Drill Bits, and Other Pumpkin-Carving Tools — excellent set of tools from Brett. Funkins are awesome as they keep forever.
The eyeballing game
The eyeballing game. Angle bisecting and right angling are apparently my special skills. I pretty much suck at finding circle centers and making parallelograms tho.
A SWOT Analysis On America
A SWOT Analysis On America. Don’t agree with many of the detailed points but the core idea of looking at our situation with a SWOT analysis is a good idea. Too often as I read the papers these days, I don’t really understand the goals and strategies of some of our government actions. A reasoned discussion with a clear decision framework would be nice.
