Making stuff.

[fancycwabs]

One of my resolutions is essentially to be more creative. To that end, I'm trying to make something new every day. Not everything will be worth bloggin' about, though most of it will turn up online in one form or another. Today I thought I'd have some fun with time-lapse photography, at least until the battery ran out on the camera.

That is impressively creeptacular. What is it supposed to be doing??!!

The putty is ferrous, so it will eventually swallow the magnet cube but it did all the cool stuff in like six frames, so I decided to have a spoon wander into the frame and distract it. Except the spoon hit the edge of the sink and couldn't go any further without a whole lot of rigging, and the putty on top of the can caught it. And ate it.

Then my battery died.

That's neat. Is it hard to do?

Just take a lot of photos of the same thing with yon digital camera, then use any of a number of programs to put 'em together in sequence (I use Quicktime Pro).

Can't sleep, ferrous putty will eat me. Can't sleep, putty will eat me.

It's a spoon and a magnetic highly viscous ferrofluid in love!
