luggage
file errors no longer allow me to open in hypershot so i have to open the files through hyperdrive which doesnt support my colors so i save it from there as a bunkspeed file and then open it in hypershot. its fucked. i tried rendering in solid works but its much slower, harder and less satisfying. it also crashes a shit ton.

something wrong with the esc, yet to see if it even flies. doubt it.
bike model in plaster and FDM print. its about 24 inches long
marcus and I went to the Irwindale swapmeet this morning, saw this old 1970 cl350 we thought was worth a try and decided to haggle the guy. long story short, marcus got the bike for 300 so long as i bought these cragar rims for 50 bucks. 14 by 7 inch rims. i was getting sick of my "gaudy" ones anyway.

sometimes, there are series of specific events that seem to collaborate with one another to happen on the same day; and when they do, you want to do things that make the death sentence sound perfectly worth it.

you guys are probably sick of this by now but...
this is pretty much it, im sick of fine tuning and taking advice, i know it looks unfriendly to ride, i decided nto to make it look "friendlier" cause visually, this looks a shit ton more dramatic and cooler than the "friendly" version which is gonna be the actual model
what we got now are brakes, pedals, pretty much everything but the cargo racks and cargo

strategic dc10
missing
exhaust
pedals
cargo
brake levers
the bike draws inspiration from airplane sub structures, bridges, and industrial materials, the brand name "strategic" is drawn from the fact that this bike is ment mainly to be a tactical tool to get you from point A to point B as conveniently, and quickly as possible; like a commercial airplane would. cars need a place to park, bike need a person to run them and neither fit in a subway tunnel. the whole point of this bike is to connect that disconnect between the bicycle and car and then compound upon the benefits of both, what I like to call parasitic mobility; where one smaller means of transportation can be made compact enough to latch onto a much larger, well-established means of transportation (i.e. subways & buses) to further its range.
more on this later. the bike still needs finishing.

real pic coming soon. looks nothing close to good as the solid works model though
but man, that wood texture needs major fixins

chuggachuggachugga woo! woo!
with 4 weeks left, i dont have the luxury of building this full scale. gonna try to build a half scale model. 3ft in length. the teach is laggin on us and wont finalize my designs. i agree, not the best but i got 4 weeks left so i just went ahead and made the wheels. cant go wrong on that. the wheels still have tweaking to do but this is what i got after 14 hours.
yes. those are supposed to be drum brakes
heres my new frame. its much more aggressive with smaller wheels and a longer wheelbase. the frame is much more slender than before and is sloped further to make it directional. i cant offload weight to the front end becuase it wouldnt make sense when it folds so i opted to widen the front forks and "point" the frame foward. to lessen the whole industrial look everyones been complanin about, i made the truss treatment much more abstract and i gave the seat a bit of an organic element which is also functional really cause you could slip and nut yourself on the frame. ill post a rendering once im done with it.

how id do it.
First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and disfigure the face. Forcing a DNA test to establish identity (if it ever comes to that) might introduce the legal/forensic hurdle that saves your ass down the line. An unidentifiable body can, in a pinch, be dressed in thrift store clothes and dropped in a bad part of town where the police are less likely to question it. I don't recommend that disposal method, I'm just saying an easily identifiable body is an even bigger threat than the opposite.
Assuming you have it inside a house where you can work on it a bit, the first thing you want to do is drain it of fluids. This will make it easier to cut up, and slow decomposition a little bit. The best way to do this quick and dirty is to perforate the body with a pointed knife, and then perform CPR on it. Cut the fronts of the thighs deep, diagonally, to slit the femoral arteries. Then pump the chest. The valves in the heart will still work when dead, and the spring back of the ribcage can put apply a fair amount of suction to the atria. Do this in a tub. Plug the drain, and mingle lots of bleach with the bodily fluids before unplugging the drain to empty the tub. This should help control the stench of death, which would otherwise reek from your gutter gratings. Do everything you can to control odors. Plug in an ionizer, burn candles, leave bowls of baking soda everywhere. Ventilate the room in the middle of the night, but otherwise keep it closed. Keep the body under a plastic sheet while it's in the tub.
If you want to bury, I recommend separating the body into several parts, and burying them separately. For one thing, it's easier to dig a deep enough hole for a head than for an entire body. this reduces your chances of being discovered while you are actually outside and digging the grave.
That is the one thing you can't do inside the doors of your house, and represents a vulnerable moment you want to keep brief, under 2 hours. Do it between 3 and 5 am. It's also less likely for someone to call the police if their dog digs up some chunk of meat, than if they dig up an entire body. They may assume it's an animal carcass disfigured by decomposition, and leave it alone or dispose of it. It's also more likely that the dog will consume all of it before anyone knows the difference. A whole skeleton is another story. You can cut a body into 6 pieces faster than you think. It's not much different than boning a chicken, but it takes more work, a big knife, and time. A hammer will be useful for pulverizing joints or driving the knife deep where it doesn't want to go. Anyway it's wise to crush as much of the skeleton as you can along the way. It will aid in making the body less identifiable for what it is as it decomposes.
Don't return to the same site 6 times for 6 burials.You'll attract suspicion from anyone nearby, and you'll wind up placing the body parts close enough together to be found by any serious investigation. Put them in plastic bags with lots of bleach, and store in a freezer until you have enough time to bury them all.
Depending on what tools you have available, you may find that you're get really good at deconstructing the body. You might prefer to slowly sprinkle it down a drain without leaving your house. This avoids the long-term risk of discovery associated with burial, and the overwhelming supply of bacteria in a sewer accelerates decomposition, while providing a convenient cover smell.
Truly grinding down a body takes a lot more work, and you run the risk of fouling your plumbing and calling in a plumber. So don't try it unless you know how to clear bones and meat out of a drainpipe. A good food processor can be useful. But don't over-use it, or power drills or saws. They're noisy and they attract attention. And forget the kitchen sink. It's better if you actually remove one of the toilets in your house from its base, which will give you direct access to one of the largest sewer pipes that enters your house. Follow any disposals with lots of bleach and then run the water for 5 or 10 minutes on top of that. And plug that pipe when you're not using it, to prevent any sewer gasses from backing up into your house. Usually, a U-trap inside the toilet does that for you.

its too late to turn around
better but i still dont like it. im just gonna turn it in and see what happens.
alex showed me my way around bunkspeed. one hell of a rendering program yesssiiirr.
not much to look at i know, trust me theres a shit-load more to come.

meh
its all i can think of for this design: "meh"
its static, its heavy and i cant possibly see this as being anything more than designer art that sits in your house without use. but this is all i got for now.
this project is like 17 products rolled into one. i gotta design a handle bar, a frame, sprocket, an engine the list just goes on and one. this was a mistake. i shoulda just done a baby stroller or rollerblades like the other kids.
ive got pockets of brilliant inspiration here and there; folding handlebars... ratchet adjustable seats, cargo mounting system, belt drives and automatic gears but nothing cohesive and centered enough to bring it all together as something good.
good things happen on a honda
90mph @ the rose bowl
will attempt the ton after i get my front brakes bled and pads replaced.

ever bought speakers out of a white van?
http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/9zph2/has_anyone_tried_to_sell_you_speakers_out_of_a/
this happened to me and i didnt have the money so i declined but its like they say, a bunch of guidos in a white astro van pulled up to me in newport and said they had extra stock of speakers and wondered if i wanted the extra one for cheap.
i never thought anything of it till this article. didnt know its some comon scam.
