Maybe fix a broken digital bedside clock? Retire a clock to run on Mars time?
I did order a lens to make my own telescope out of some scavenged cardboard tubes. It’s mainly about using the tubes but also I’m curious about telescope building.Show this thread -

Ok this take has turned me off kintsugi as an element in the mix. https://twitter.com/kureshii_/status/1295212753116782592?s=21 …https://twitter.com/kureshii_/status/1295212753116782592 …

I think if
@niftynei and I turned@scorpioseasontv into a sort of junkyard makers show (which we’ve talked about a bit) it would be a bit like the fictional show Tool Time within the old Tim Allen sitcom, Home Improvement. I’d be Tim, Lisa would be Al. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Improvement_(TV_series)#Tool_Time …Show this thread -
Like Tim, I’d be the blowhard who talks a big game but screws up every project he attempts. Lisa would be like Al. Actually knows what she’s doing and makes stuff which works.

The risk with this theme is it could easily get very expensive. Will have to set a careful budget.

If you're interested in the measurement side, you could easily try and build hourglasses, etc and just experiment and compare with ways of measuring time. It would be interesting to play with ways to materialize your talk on programmable reality - the kairos part of it.

Yeah I own an hourglass... but something about just reproducing the history of horology feels like a larp. Need more of a creative novel angle.
