If you cut the head in half first, probably. They tend to be symmetrical along at least one plane.

[ Revival ] In this case, a direct (CAT scanned?) rip-off of a specific American product design and price undercutting the original with cheap East Asian production is bound to raise eyebrows. Are you suggesting that these (or at least their molds) are 3D printed? I can't think how else they would ...

Next best thing is maybe to buy a used PC at the Goodwill and put it in a closet to do the DVR function. Your Goodwill must be nicer than mine. Interesting that there are so many problems developing a self-contained unit. I think I could do the same thing with a RaspberryPi, a harddrive and a Haupp...

Oooo, they do seem to have a DVR version that supports external storage. Still would need an HDMI port for me, though. Oh wait, you can stream to a Roku to get it on the TV. That's a good idea. https://www.simple.tv/roku The one I have isn't [/a DVR at all. It's just a dual tuner that connects to t...

I can't tell you how happy it made me that that thing has an independently controllable abdomen.
I wonder if they'd ever sell their kinimatics engine?

Since the mandolincafe post just links yet again to banjohangout (except it doesn't ... I had to copy and paste the URL from that post), why not just post that link?

I didn't see this until too late. But I found the show you were on: http://blogs.kusp.org/continentaldrift/ You can listen to the latest show there (probably until next Saturday). I found the first song (Rug Muire) around 47 minutes in, after an interview. Lovely stuff. I love few things more than C...

How about a legible version?

Isn't that pretty much how John Wilkes Booth ended up?
Wonder how those headlines read?

Aw.
