Extruding Walls in AutoCAD</h1> <article> <h1>Extruding Walls in AutoCAD</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (Gian Padrique) — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:40:00 +0000</p> I find extruding cool and amazing because it allows you to create a three-dimensional model of a two-dimensional drawings. The drawing I used was a 2-D layout of the walls and columns of a building. I selected conceptual view and placed some colors to create a more realistic feel. I used AutoCAD for this one.

If you did, then this pen is for you. <b>Polar pen</b> is a modular pen which is <b>made up of Neodymium magnets</b>. It is composed of ring-shaped magnets which can be put together to form the body of the pen. It can also be used as <b>a stylus</b> thus allowing you to draw using a digital tablet. You can also disintegrate the magnets to create an alternative compass or simply turn it into a toy.<br /> <div> You can pledge for this project at <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1171695627/polar-pen-both-tool-and-toy-pen-stylus-made-from-m">www.kickstarter.com</a>.

Why? It is because <b>3Doodler allows you to draw three-dimensional figures</b>. 3Doodler is created by Peter Dilworth and Max Bogue, co-founders of <a href="http://www.wobbleworks.net/" target="_blank">Wobbleworks LLC</a><span id="goog_1506051768"></span><span id="goog_1506051769"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a>. It is founded in 2011.<br /> <div> Using 3Doodler is like using a pencil, but this time you can draw above the paper, something your lead pencil can't do. Thus, it became the world's first 3D printing pen. The possibilities are endless. You can create ostriches, butterflies and even a replica of the Eiffel tower. The only limit is your imagination(and the ink, of course).</div> <div> You can learn more about this great stuff in the video below.

When I was still a small kid, our teachers always tell us about a lot of stories, especially fables. Sometimes, they would let us read it aloud and like it. I really miss those old times. because of this, I decided to read some of those fables again until I came across something. A fable that caught my attention. The fable is simple but has very good message. I want to share it to you. It is about the two travelers and a bear.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <pre style="color: #330000; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></pre> <pre style="color: #330000; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="background-color: white;">TWO MEN were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on</span></pre> <pre style="color: #330000; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="background-color: white;">their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger." Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. </span></pre> <pre style="color: #330000; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="background-color: white;">Source: </span><a href="http://www.aesopfables.com/cgi/aesop1.cgi?sel&TheBearandtheTwoTravelers&&beartrav.ram" style="text-align: center;">http://www.aesopfables.com/cgi/aesop1.cgi?sel&TheBearandtheTwoTravelers&&beartrav.ram</a></i></span></pre> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Childhood Memories - Chickens</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (Gian Padrique) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:22:00 +0000</p> Recalling my childhood once again. I've been recently thinking about the past lately so I decided to share this memory with you. When we still live in our province, I remember people taking care of different domestic animals like dogs, cats and chickens. Chickens are very common in a our province. Anyway, it is a place near the farm so it wouldn't be that strange. Chickens are good runners and has great agility which make it hard to catch one. You would probably run for a very long time just to get one. However, people there thought of a brilliant idea. They set a trap made of iron nets that resembles a basket. Under the iron net are corn kernels, which serves as a bait. The opening was provided by putting a wooden stick on the mouth of the basket. The wooden stick is tied to a rope which when pulled closes the basket. I created a simple illustration of this trap below. Enjoy!

This wonderful photo is taken from an article and is shot as it shines above Bear Lake, Alaska. They really look like green curtains in the northern sky. It is said that auroras, like the one above are caused by the collision of charged particles from solar winds and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This collision causes the wonderful scenery. It can only be seen near the poles because of Earth's magnetosphere. I hope you enjoy it.<br /> <div> <br /></div> </article> <article> <h1>Get ready for another turn..</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (Gian Padrique) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:44:00 +0000</p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://seeinnerbeauty.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/smile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Photo from <a href="http://seeinnerbeauty.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/beauty-begins-with-a-smile/">seeinnerbeauty.wordpress.com</a></i></td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> Yes, it is time for our not so little planet to travel to its orbit, again.
