Teen Titans!

Here's a link to some pics from my last trip to NY some time ago. Picture Stories as I like to call them. More picture stories to come.

I'm completely hooked to Teen Titans! Their theme song is so catchy too, as performed by Puffy AmiYumi.

"When there's trouble you know who to call,
Teen Titans!
From their tower they can see it all,
Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack,
You can rest knowing they got your back,
Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol
Teen Titans GO!..."

It's a great cartoon. I need to get the DVDs!! Somehow I'm most attracted to the character of Raven. Robin is cool as the leader and the brainy one; he is pure human. No superpowers..just plain human. But the point is with our intellect, humans can be driven to perform superhuman feats, physical and mental. Cyborg is part man, part machine. His abilities and strengths are mechanical, but he is more than machine. Again the human will propels his already incredible strength to greater heights. Beast Boy has the power to shape shift. He's green and the jokester of the bunch. A very likable character. Starfire comes from an alien world and possesses powers that enable her to fly and shoot green firebolts. She is also the perennially cheery and optimistic one. And Raven. She is the sire of Evil itself, and yet, she strives to fight against her destiny---one where she destroys the world. The struggles she must face make for an interesting and compelling character.

Of course the animation is great. I would not be so attracted to the show if it weren't for the animation, which is a mesh of western cartoons and Japanese Anime. I think it really works, since I grew up reading comic books from both cultures. So I try to make it home everyday from work to watch, typically while I'm cooking up dinner! Teen Titans, GO!

M's first art installation

My son and I went exercising at the gym this morning (Feb. 2, 2019). We had physical and mental workouts, and I was full of pride to see him put together this exhibit. He called it, "Train." The work is abstract, with the cone symbolizing the engine and the ball can be pictured as "balls of steam" that roll out of the chimney or exhaust system! Train

3D metal printing

I've worked with stainless steel in the machine shop, and it isn't exactly the easiest metal to drill or lathe. So to be able to print it, wow. Another interesting company is Shapeways. Here's a video (not metal printing in this case though).
