Lovely to see this glowing write up of our recent work with @marshmallowlaserfeast at @mediamuseum Bradford.Quite a journey but really happy with the result.

An absolute pleasure to work with all the amazing humans at MLF and NSMM - you all know who you are.We’ll miss Bradford and it’s incredible pubs and delicious curries.

Yesterday was the inaugural A&E x NCC Annual Let’s Inflate a Weather Balloon Until it Pops Party and if I was doing balloon jokes I’d say it went off with a bang.

Premise is pretty much in the title but we also attempted a Big Balloon Fart along the way which for a variety of reasons was a bit disappointing but could probably (e.g. with appropriate amplification) land some memorable bathos. We’ll try again.

Balloon: 600g of latex, with a specified burst radius of 5.5m. I think we got pretty close to that before it burst on the ceiling. Didn’t even need to use the contingency theatrical thumb-tack (the relatively unsharp top of which detaches to reveal a needle although it’s since occurred to us that it’d be funnier if the top detached to reveal a thumb-tack so we’ll try that again too.)

We’ll do this outdoors next time. Feels like it’d be a good Spring Sunny Sunday afternoon in Victoria Park activity.

Thanks to: The £20 knock-off Makita leaf-blower that did The Work, Sean @kai.lab_ for curating a group of people that think this sort of thing is worth a trip to Hackney Wick, the people who made a trip to Hackney Wick, @godzilladosun for being the only person with the prescience to set up a time-lapse in spite of also being the only person watching from the other side of the Atlantic, @bianca_kohli for being the only person who captured the pop, and most of all the meteorologists who still launch these things on a (twice!) daily basis; without whom we wouldn’t be able to buy weather balloons on eBay.

I’m supposed to do this every week but making content is time consuming and it’s sometimes hard to find the headspace, might start a Patreon so that I can quit the day job and make content full-time, but in the meanwhile This Week at A&E: a big red button (1), not sure what it’s from but serious HAL energy; more asshole robots as @louismustill dips his toe into the silver pool of LARPing as a T-1000 by getting a metal tooth (2); one of the ugliest prototypes I’ve ever built, literally nothing to redeem this one but the little tiny wheel is quite fun to twiddle (3); I played with a variety of navigation gyroscopes thanks to @theinheritorsfilm which was pretty good fun (4); look at how perfectly two Single Marine Control Levers - are they really single if there are two of them find out next week - fit into this @tkmaxxuk bag (5)

The other day I walked into the office and found Louis in bed with a book of optical illusions and he was all like “IT’S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE” which I think we can all agree is an excellent cold open to this week at A&E in which: we went to the opening of Twist, a museum about the “mind-altering world of illusions” that he’s been working on for like, ever, I broke one of the exhibits within 2 margaritas of walking through the door which was a wee bit awks (they were v. nice about it though and it’s fixed now) and then we took selfies (not actually selfies, hon. mention to @lilyandtheroses for taking photos/putting up with our bullshit) in an Ames room (1, 2) which was a lot of fun and btw check out his new haircut; meanwhile I played with the biggest load cell I’ve ever personally encountered - this one is good to 500kg which makes it a baby in the grand scheme of things but it’s a nice object (3); and familiarised myself with the concept of UV mapping (4).

This week A&E went to Turkey (or at least 50% of us did, the other 50% was hard at work in London on something featuring an Ames room that is presently embargoed but won’t be this time next week, pictures from which are something to which you can look forward) where we saw a cat on a column (1); learned that 10C columns were generally made in sections and then held together by molten lead poured through flutes in the sides of the columns, although I don’t really understand how this works because what stops the molten lead from just falling out of the holes again unless the column is horizontal when you do the lead pouring, and if that’s the case then how do you get the column vertical without it separating again? (2); saw some toilets (3, and fun fact literally the only chamfers in the whole of Ephesus are around the toilet seats); marvelled at some marble - of particular interest was the marble that isn’t there any more and the various approaches to managing that in a museum context, viz.: “it’s fine, the animal can just float” (4); “it’s not fine, the animal shall have three legs, one of acrylic and two of brass” (5); quite liked a piece of hotel lobby art whilst being v. pleased about not having to read the artist statement (6).

This week was similar to last week in terms of photogenic activities but here goes anyway: a sad but perhaps inevitable update to the MiddleBit bit of our website (1); a plant on an X-ray machine (2); trying to trick BirdNET with limited success (3).

This week at A&E (a bit of a 7/14 week in terms of photographable things but a weekly update is a weekly update and so barrel scrape we must): a test harness for one of those fancy optical flow sensors - basically the same thing that's in your computer mouse and it works about as well as a computer mouse i.e. _insanely_ well - like you probably never think about how well your mouse works but maybe take a moment to do that now (1, 2); if you've never used the remote ssh plugin for vscode then you should it's really quite magical (3, told you we were barrel scraping); MiddleBit goes mobile - Makita battery on the back of a Raspberry Pi is a winning arrangement - also available in Dewalt (4); 3D printed a holder for paper tags and their strings and people have been saying sneery things like "ooooh you've turned into the sort of people that organises stationary" because they are jealous (5).

This week at A&E (a bit of a 7/14 week in terms of photographable things but a weekly update is a weekly update and so barrel scrape we must): a test harness for one of those fancy optical flow sensors - basically the same thing that's in your computer mouse and it works about as well as a computer mouse i.e. _insanely_ well - like you probably never think about how well your mouse works but maybe take a moment to do that now (1, 2); if you've never used the remote ssh plugin for vscode then you should it's really quite magical (3, told you we were barrel scraping); MiddleBit goes mobile - Makita battery on the back of a Raspberry Pi is a winning arrangement - also available in Dewalt (4); 3D printed a holder for paper tags and their strings and people have been saying sneery things like "ooooh you've turned into the sort of people that organises stationary" because they are jealous (5).

Was supposed to do these once a week, lol, but anyway ages ago I posted about not knowing how long a roll of solder lasts and now I do, also Loctite have started putting their leaded solder on green spools which is definitely going to upset someone, further updates in a few years (1); tiny chandelier finds a home in an @llco.london model and looks great, was a total pain in the arse but I really enjoyed making it (2); HANGING SCULPTURE OF DEATH: excerpt from someone else’s todo list makes our todo list look entirely pedestrian (3); more pink stuff (4); mildly custom relay box for @eastcityfilms’ / @allseeingeyeltd’s In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats which is v. deservedly winning hearts and minds all over the place (5); a user interface from before the days of the pink thing, it looks shit, we’ve come a long way (6); more pink thing, this one an early prototype for a piece at the V&A’s exhibition Hallyu - The Korean Wave which is also v. good you should go (7)
