My fascination with 3D printed dice has come to an end

As all good things must end, so does my interest in 3D printed casino dice.  The upshot?  Can't use these in a casino and a friend just told me that they are apparently very hinky about the use of cell phone cameras in the casinos anyway, so I wouldn't be able to talk to any of the dice dealers about using them while on camera.  Dang.  Well, I can decorate them with nail polish in any case and bring them along, just in case!

No Video!!!

I had this great video of the MakerBot at Marston Science Library making my set of dice, and I cannot upload it to save my life!  I am despondent!  Well, I'm going to collect the dice today at some point so I will update then with a measly photograph or two!  Dang!!!!11!!

Cannot Believe...

...I went all the way to Marston Science Library to print out my casino dice and didn't bring my phone to take pictures!!!  Well, it will be ready about 4:00pm or so, so I'll update with pictures then!

Haha, and I was talking to one of the engineering librarians who helped me submit the model and she said, as if preciently, "I wouldn't use these in a casino or anything, because they're not the same weight."  D'OH!

Live Blogging

I'm all about liveblogging the ALA annual in Las Vegas, this year.  Think I'm going to try U-stream to see if I can upload iphone streams, and maybe BlogTalk Radio, I dunno.  I'd like to compile everything in a YouTube video, I think.  But I don't know, I've never live blogged anything!  I've participated in live blogs, but I wonder how effective a live blog will be at the actual conference - are people going to pop out their tablets or smartphones whenever I have an update?  It's different from the live blogs I've participated in, where you sit at your computer and refresh.

Oh, and here's a Blingee of Miley Cyrus I made for my student assistants at the library, before they left for winter break.
