Is there such a thing as a freelance eviscerator? I think I'm really good at evisceration, but I'm not sure that there's a market for it.

It's a 3D print fest at my folks' and I will finally have outlandish storage for my outlandish sunglasses as a result.

I love putting something like a huge chainsaw in my 2 yr old daughter's Christmas wishlist. Family contact me with "I think you have things for your list in hers..." and I say "Oh no, she asked for a chainsaw. A big one." They can't tell if I'm serious or not. It's a holiday gift to myself.

My students asked me if they could just watch me make a map and explain what I'm thinking as I do it. I don't know if this is a good idea. I'm mostly just swearing in my head.

I make sure to have a small woodworking project at the end of every semester to keep sane and get away from screens. I decided a chisel rack made out of scrap cherry would do the trick this go 'round.
I always minimize power tools. I saw, drill, plane by hand.

I really wish there was a wtF grade to give. Because F is a statement of "you failed," when I'm really more curious as to "what the fuck happened here?"

Estela made a big map and some small ones and showed it off at undergraduate research day. This is as happy as my face gets. So proud she let me mentor her this semester.
Also, she didn't think twice when I had her violate the official poster format. Rules aren't for us.
