SO I’ve been busy, busy like a little bee! See I have been working really hard to work for myself, while I get my life “on track” and figure out a career option as well as work towards that career option. Working in retail and food was a huge setback so thankfully after MONTHS of hard work I am at a place where I make enough money to pay my bills, have a little extra and be content! It was so worth the work, although a lot of people seem to think I need a “real job”. But isn’t the point of a job to bring in money, and if I am bringing in money then isn’t that all they should be worrying about? Anyways OFF TOPIC!
I had a commission from a friend in Antartica to paint a sexy Velociraptor for him, and I did!! Here she is…
So you all have probably heard of Mineways (the software used to 3D print your structures from Minecraft). And if you haven’t you should check it out, the software is open source and all the structures I have seen are incredible! Anyways this tiny Minecraft city although not made using the Mineways software(similiar but not the same) was created, printed and then assembled. And the detail is amazing!
Join the ENTIRE cast of Nerdy Show (and I mean everyone, Brian, Hex, The Boys of Flame On, Marc with a C, myself and more) for the Holiday special of the year!! Music, laughs, tears, family and friends, did I mention I Fight Dragons is there too!? Well boy howdy are they and if you want to tune in you will be treated to such Earthly delights your skivvies won’t be able to contain themselves!
Winter holiday specials are a time honored tradition. Some are simply strange attempts to cash in on the holiday season (*cough*StarWars*cough*), others are brilliant, creative outpourings in the name of warmth, family, togetherness, and the hope that maybe, just maybe we can make the world a better place. We’d like to think this is the latter, but we’re willing to bet you’ll disagree.
Whatever you celebrate this holiday season – Nerdy Show is right there with you! We’ve got a nondenominational fest-stravaganza! (Well, unless Wookie is a denomination). Yes, it’s that time of year again, Life Day, when all Wookies return to Kashyyyk to celebrate. But unfortunately for Nerdy Show’s Wookie friend, Grumpy, he can’t get a lift to the forested planet. Instead, the Nerdy crew are taking him up to Brian’s cabin in the woods where he can commune, but there’s one big problem – they’re stuck in the worst holiday traffic jam of all time!
Join the entire Nerdy Show gang – yes, all of us – including Flame On and Marc With a C as well as special guests I Fight Dragons! Plus a Dungeons & DoritosCrunchmas Special! We guarantee, you’ve never in your life experienced a holiday show like this.
So I’ve mentioned it a few places but I’m not sure I fully mentioned it here. I’ve started an art blog called ART BLOG SKETCH ATTACK which is an open call art blog to anyone who wants to participate. The concept is pretty simple, every month there is a new theme and people create cool art that is based on that theme! Can be visual art, performance, poetry, crafts or even culinary!! It is completely open! I’ve been working with a few dedicated artists to get the ball rolling and I am incredibly happy with what everyone has done! They took a relatively open ended theme “Famous Firsts” and did such an amazing display of awesome art with unique eclectic twists!
Check out the site to see all the unique work (and check frequently always new stuff)! And if you want to participate PLEASE feel free! You can email me at Raptor.quest23@gmail.com for details!!!

Klein Bottle
Now first you might be asking yourself. What is a Klein Bottle. Well…
In 1882, Felix Klein imagined sewing two Möbius Loops together to create a single sided bottle with no boundary. Its inside is its outside. It contains itself.
Take a rectangle and join one pair of opposite sides — you’ll now have a cylinder. Now join the other pair of sides with a half-twist. That last step isn’t possible in our universe, sad to say. A true Klein Bottle requires 4-dimensions because the surface has to pass through itself without a hole.
It’s closed and non-orientable, so a symbol on its surface can be slid around on it and reappear backwards at the same place.You can’t do this trick on a sphere, doughnut, or pet ferret — they’re orientable. > Kleinbottle.com
So since a true Klein bottle can only be represented in 4 dimensions the wonderfully quirky people at Acme Klein Bottle have done their best to bring you Klein Bottles in 3 dimensions! You can get tiny ones for as low as $35 dollars and MASSIVE ones for $18,000! Any size will sure to impress!

Well I hope this little guide helped you guys out with your she geek holiday shopping! These gifts are also great for Valentines Day, Birthdays and Anniversaries!!
Are you a candy fiend like I am? Maybe, maybe not. One candy I can never get enough of is gummy bears! I love them! (even the clear flavored ones, those are ESPECIALLY delicious!). So a few years ago when I heard about the 5 lb gummy bear I crapped bricks all over my house! It was a MESS! And now when I thought it couldn’t get any better they made a 26 lb gummy bear…WITH A BOWL FOR A TUMMY!!! That tummy bowl holds one figgin liter!
aaaaaggghhhh!! MY LIFE IS SO GOOD!
Now this little bundle of gelatinous joy does come with a price… a 32,000 calorie price! BUT fear not my brothers and sisters! Gummy bears are low in fat! So take that as you will! Apparently you can chop this little nugget up into 265 snack sizes! just in case taking the whole thing at once is a little to much for you to handle!
One day I will taste your delicious gluttony!
