November 4, 2007 on 9:39 am | In Life, Physics, Favorite | 3 Comments
Unlike other years, I put lots of time into my Halloween costume this year. I built an All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) Walker from Star Wars out of cardboard, bristle board and blood (and some white out to cover up the blood). The blood was due to stapling my thumb with an ancient staple gun. It has working legs that walk similarly to how a bird would walk, thus the slang for the machine: Chicken Walker.
Here’s a video of it in action.
Right after finishing it.

When I am out of town doing field work, this is how I play electric guitar in my hotel room without an amp. Guitar -> Pedal -> Line in to MP3 player -> Line out to headphones.
A nice picture of my car somewhere between Nanton and Chain Lakes.

This leaf had the life sucked out of it, now it’s half ghost.
