Amazing 3D Printer
3D printers have been around for about 20 years. When I first started using them in 1998, it was a very brittle plastic, some even used a corn starch material. Over the years the technology has gone Star Trek. Jay Leno owns one of the new 3d printers to make parts for his old bikes and cars. But this video shows it in much more detail. You must watch this video and see just how crazy it has become.

Myrtle, the 10, & the Cub
A fellow I met online shared these photos with us, I thought they needed to be shared with everyone. Looks like he'll have some more to share soon. If you put these on your blog, please give credit to "LineNoise."
"My dad passed away several years ago and whilst I'd known he'd ridden bikes, Triumphs in particular, when he was younger, I never took the time to ask for the details.
I found these photos after he died and they're labelled as "Myrtle", "The 10" and "The Cub" respectively. I'm 99% sure "The 10" was a Tiger 110 and "The Cub" is obvious. Myrtle is a bit more of a mystery though I believe her to be a T20C. All the photos are taken on the old family farm in the Hunter Valley in NSW, Australia.
If you give me a day or two I can give you a couple of extra shots as well. I've a closer framed photo of my Dad astride Myrtle in that gear and on another of his bikes, a Malvern Star. :P There's also a shot of my uncle on the Cub and on his CZ.
I've seen photos as a kid of some of the other bikes my uncle had, a Matchless 500 twin and a number of BSAs but I never found them in the collection."

California Graffiti
My company is coming out with a line of 4' X 8' printable laminate decorative panels. One of these panels is a "graffiti" panel. I was asked to make the design. I've never done graffiti. I approached it from a "random bullshit" angle and this is my first attempt. It is seamless.
