It is coming up to my favorite time of year again, Halloween!!! This year I have been wracking my brain for an old school mad scientist layout for some pictures. You see I have this problem, I have to try and one up my costume from last year or make the decorations in the house just that much better than the year before. As I have gotten older, I have had more money, time, expensive taste in the elaborate set-ups that I crave. Like most of us, I have resorted to DIYing most of my layouts. So enough of me talking, let me show you a killer idea I had this year.
So nothing says mad scientist lab like a jar or leeches and a pulsating brain in a jar.
An autopsy pump for getting every...last...drop!
I also found the following How To Make Your Own Specimen Jars on WebSpinstress’s Halloween Blog.
Ok…So this is a band from a good friend of mine – hence the Shameless Plug. Pesky J Nixon is a Folk band (yes, I said Folk). Personally, I really like to listen to the most eclectic mix of music you can imagine. We are talking about Les Claypool to Bach to Cradle of Filth to Hed P.E but I was never one for folk or country. So for me to say I really like Pesky’s stuff is just…weird. Ethan gets extra respect, due to the fact he has to deal with me on a daily basis because we work together. I am in a nice mood right now so I am going to include their music player too. Check out their site and buy a few tickets to go see them in person (something I have yet to do, but hey…he hasn’t visited me yet either). They are a damn good time!
When I first came across this clock I was like, “No way…that can’t keep time let alone be able to read the damn thing”. Then the more I studied how it worked and was made I realized that as long as the sun isn’t shining right on it it would be fine. Here is an excerpt from the Evil Mad Scientist lab blog.
That’s like a sundial, but with better resolution– not just an hour hand, but a minute and second hand as well, each given as a shadow from moving artificial light sources (bulbs).
We’ve recently put together a working bulbdial clock, with an implementation somewhat different from that of the original concept.
And put together a new concept they did. If you follow the jump at the bottom of this post you will see exactly how to make your own Bulbdial Clock. I plan on building one of these myself.
Yep…This is so my next project. I will not let the Turbine Engine, The Flame Thrower, or anything else stand in my way of this one. What’s that rent is due? Tell them to go to hell I am building a classic here!
