SF Absolut Vodka

July 21, 2011 – 1:09 PM

Thought it was just a pretty limited edition bottle when I put this at the store, but it’s actually an infusion of grape, papaya, and dragonfruit. Tastes terrible and chemical-like in my opinion. Not sure the correlation of SF to these flavor profiles. According to some internet sources the grape represents “wine country” and the [...]

3D Printing a Tool

July 15, 2011 – 12:39 PM

Pretty cool seeing this 3D Printer can make working tools, and scan the tool within 40 microns (width of a human hair)… Here we come Star Trek. I liked seeing the process from start to finish.
