Past, Present, and Future.

I like machines, they fascinate me. I love huge, old, art deco-esque machinery - it's beautiful! I'm also fascinated by cnc machines though, the more complicated the better.

Check out this old air compressor I saw on the internet:


And this badass 5-axis CNC:



Things have come a long ways.

That machine is sick! I want one.

Though I find the new machines just don't have the same charm and feel the old ones had. (like I know)

I'm going to write "A CNC Operator's Notebook" one day and lament the days of 2 axis machines and then have devout followers of my gospel. I may even have sex with the female ones. We'll see.

Haha! That's great, when you have devout followers you can be all cranky but people won't mind. They'll say stuff like 'he has such fiery eccentricities'!

My favorite thing about that CNC video is the porn music. It's so... penetrating!
