It's a Shapeways Christmas
In September, I wrote two posts about a enterprise and internet site called Shapeways. If you're so inclined, you can re-study them right here and here. Shapeways is a 3-dimensional printer that allows every person with get entry to to a three-D renderer to upload a version and they will print it out and ship it back. Three-dimensional model printers have been round for a while, a touch whilst at any rate. Where Shapeways takes it a step past is that they've an online rendering software and absolutely everyone with a laptop can make his or her personal fully customized and one-of-a-kind component.
This sort of generation integration curls my ft. I imply, ten years in the past no one'd ever heard of Google, or a weblog, or a three-D version printer for that count. Amazing!
Well, simply in time for Christmas, Shapeways has give you multiple seasonal services and the one that I suppose is just plain cool is a serviette ring that sells for between $five and $7. This serviette ring is silver and it is able to be composed of any copy you'll love it to be.
So to prove that anybody can do this, I went through the process and made a set of napkin rings of my own. I mulled over ideas for a couple of days. I wanted to have my rings be both seasonal and related to food. Hmmmm. What to do what to do? Visions of sugarplums danced in their heads? Nah, too precious. So I pulled out my copy of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas and re-read it for the first time in years. I kept coming back to this part of it:
Then the Whos, old and young, would take a seat down to a dinner party.
And they'd ceremonial dinner! And that they had dinner party! And they'd FEAST!
FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!
They could ceremonial dinner on Who-pudding, and rare Who-roast beast.
Which became something the Grinch could not stand within the least!
That's it! So I used the line They could ceremonial dinner on Who-pudding, and rare Who-roast beast. And it came out looking something like this:
Not bad for 6 dollars apiece. Let me now state for the file that I am equipped for Christmas. On second concept, let's make that I'm geared up to begin getting geared up for Christmas. So to cite How the Grinch Stole Christmas again:
Fah who foraze!
Dah who doraze!
Welcome Christmas!
Bring your cheer.
