Clock works for future projects PDF Print E-mail

I have some ideas for "Kinetic Sculptures" for lack of a better term.   The first thing for these sculptures is that I don't want them to run on batteries or require a electric socket. Another requirement is that its based on weights not springs.  So for a proof of concept I went looking for a clock work escapement.  Of course there are lots of these.  So, since for some strange reason I have Lego's sitting around I tried to find Lego escapements to see if I could build one that worked.  Well I found multiple Lego clock references but most required parts I didn't have readily at hand.  Except for this one.  I had tried making my own and various other escapements I had found, so upon finding this one it was more incorporated into what I had started than copied one for one.  So here is what I ended up with.

I know I'm a little slow but I just found/shown Google wave.  I'm impressed by the video.  I've seen the Google web toolkit before but now I might have to see what I can do with this.  I have some websites in mind and may have to go the Google route.

Where did the weather page go? PDF Print E-mail

The weather page is still here.   In the side menu there is a link to the full weather page. You can also book mark http://deadgekko.com/weather.html. In the top menu there is a different weather link.  This one will keep you in the site and will have the same information at some point.  I'll be updating both places as I get a chance.   Hopefully the sites weather will be more useful than the full page but time will tell.
