How Everyday Things Are Made
OckNock writes "The Alliance for Innovative Manufacturing at Stanford University in conjunction with Design4x has released online courses on design and manufacturing that include over 4 hours of streaming video (Flashplayer required). Some of the topics include airplanes, crayons, and waterjet cutting.
If only they had this when I had studied mechanical engineering - maybe I would have stayed awake in class more."
When I was a kid, all you had to do was tune in Mr. Rogers to see crayons being made.

I was depressed after reading the story about tech jobs being
outsourced. But this new story suggests me a new career and I can already
see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am gonna become a World-Class
Crayon maker.
"...easiest to learn by watching someone else doing it, then copying, and then experimenting"
Sounds like you're talking about puberty. Well, mine anyway.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I dont see anything there about how babies are made
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
You mean I've been lied to all these years.... stuff isn't made by tiny gnomes who live inside of everything?
Hmmm.
Mr. Wizard: So this old man invites little boys and girls over to his house to do "experiments". We never meet Mrs. Wizard.
No, there's nothing suspicious here.
For years I have been attentively reading these online "blogs." Recently, it came to my attention, however, that I could read one every morning without ever having to fire up my PC. All I have to do is look between my legs when I take my morning shit. Sometimes it even burns my eyes, like looking directly into the sun. For this reason, I have termed myself a "blog factory." I have also noticed a correlation between diet and the number of blog entries I can produce in a given day. Sometimes I am unable to produce blog entries for extended periods of time. I have termed this condition "gastric bloggage." Sometimes I check the factory output log and know that a blog entry has been produced, but when I look into the shipping area, it is gone. Sometimes when I walk down the street, a dog will produce a blog entry in front of me in some attempt to communicate. I shove the blog entry into my ears and eyes, but I am still unable to understand. One day though...
Alcohol & calculus don't mix. Never drink & derive.
middle and upper management often look down on divisions that don't do "real work."
I wonder if that might be considered irony.
A bunch of chickens are fed a large amount of cocaine and then show a video of the life and works of Buckminster Fuller. They are then let loose in a wire factory and hey presto Chicken Wire.

Stick to the crayons, dude. I wouldn't want to cross any bridges you "engineered."
This is what it says in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Or is that only when played on Linux?
we learn how molten piles of server goo are made.
Of course it runs NetBSD. BTC: 1NT7QvbetmANwaMzhpVL6
you were able to experiment? i got as far as the theory, then i felt all dirty.
It might look like I'm standing motionless, but I'm actively waiting for my problems to go away
