Norspiel February 23, 2025
Now scanning: “Norspiel,” rules book for a wargame created at Northrop Aircraft in 1957. Not the usual sort of thing I go after, but it seems interesting. I wasn’t able to find anything online about it other than the ebay listing, so it may be new to the wargaming world. I’m not a wargamer (not […]
The 80’s reign supreme February 22, 2025
Everyone is nostalgic for the days of their youth and think that “those years were the best.” But I really believe a good case can be made that the 80’s and well into the 90’s were in many ways the pinnacle of our culture. Pop culture was almost undeniably at it’s zenith. We still had […]
Einstein Ring February 12, 2025
This is worth noting: Einstein Was Right – Euclid Just Captured Space-Time Warping in a Perfect Cosmic Ring Which references: Euclid: A complete Einstein ring in NGC 6505

This is a bad idea January 30, 2025
This video has been floating around twitter the last day or so, showing some streamers kicking around an android: https://x.com/FearedBuck/status/1884467606515569066 This is Not Good for several reasons: 1) While this robot is not going to gain sentience (far too simplistic for that), someday some AI likely will. And it will probably see this video, and […]
1/18 Project Pluto #2 January 27, 2025
I haven’t finished the first Pluto, but I decided to go ahead with an improved version anyway. Pluto ver 2 now has a full weapons bay interior, shadow shield and air conditioning equipment. I am also going to completely revise the reactor and add booster rockets. The first one will still be completed, to […]
1/18 Project Pluto January 18, 2025
So it has been a little bit of a while. Been busy, and lately I’ve been ill (influenza B). But the illness is finally fading and the busyness may be tapering a bit. So here’s a recent product of slow progress: the 3D printed bits of a 1/18 Project Pluto nuclear ramjet missile. Much of […]
So, anyways… I’m entering the atomic weapons industry… December 3, 2024
… sorta. As I’ve mentioned from time to time on my twitter (@UnwantedBlog), I’ve been helping out some friends for a bit. They’ve thanked me with a shiny new Anycubic Kobra 2 Max 3D filament printer. As such things go it’s a giant, capable of far bigger (but lower-rez) prints than my resin printer. […]
Locked outta Twitter October 20, 2024
So I backed off blogging so much because yapping on Twitter was so much easier. But then…
