I, Kiwinewt, am a TechnoHippy.

Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

And just for kicks, I have added a [...]

CSS colour chart

Posted by kiwinewt on 10 September, 2008

For reference, a Nice simple CSS Color Chart
Takes a little while to scroll down the page, but I like the fact that its very easy to see the colours and that each one is named (even though it is such as gray1,gray2,etc)

Kiln

Posted by kiwinewt on

OK. So I am looking in to plans for how to make a kiln. This is also in my wonderful plans for world domination muahahaha!
But anyway, most of what I am looking as is for very small kilns, mainly to hold a few plates or bowls or whatever. I had almost given up on my [...]

Awesome Book!

Posted by kiwinewt on 7 September, 2008

First, a short shoutout to Amazon. They sent me an email trying to sell me stuff, so I googled one of the books and found a free online version.
That book was this:

Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them
by Rolfe Cobleigh
Believe it or not, it is from 1910!
