All about QUALITY, not QUANTITY. Great EARS, bad GRAMMAR.

 I’m all for a good parody – especially when it is for things as big as JAMES BLUNT.

I heard the Wierd Al Version of “Your Pitiful”. In my opinion, the beginning is hilarious (the part where james unnaturally starts the song too early), but other than that I don’t think this version holds a candle to THIS PARODY.

The latter is from an UK Television show called Dead Ringers.

I’m sure James enjoys them both. He is laughing all the way to the bank.

Finally! MUSE IS BACK!

My favorite band of all time (next to Radiohead) is MUSE. They are BACK! And I’m SuperDuper Excited!!!

Their new album comes out on July 3rd and it’s called “Black Holes and Revelations“. (you know Muse with their crazy concept albums and titles!) Their first song that was leaked “Supermassive Black Hole” sounds very similar to Britney Spears “Do Somethin”.

 

Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) is a Genius!

Whoever doesn’t watch Family Guy – should stop reading this blog right now and watch Seasons 2 & 3, then thank me later.

I am OBSESSED with Family Guy (and the show’s creator – Seth MacFarlane). So obsessed that I took my brother and best friend Jessica to see FAMILY GUY Live in Vegas! HAHA.

Anyhoo – check out this video of Seth MacFarlane giving Harvard’s graduation speech. He starts out by talking as Peter, then Stewie (genius!), then ends as Quagmire.

He even rips on the show LOST. Listen for it. It’s hilarious.

My cat is so damn CUTE!

I have the cutest cat alive. I dare you to challenge me. This is SNICKERS. I taught her how to fetch – and my bf Jessica taught her how to roll over when she whistles.

The only problem is – I CAN’T WHISTLE! HAHA. Thanks JG!

Anyhoo – you can always tell if my place is clean when Snickers takes a nap in the SINK!

What Is Laser Cutting?

by

History: Laser Cutting

The first machine used for laser cutting was introduced in 1965.  This laser cutting machine was produced by Western Electric Engineering Research Center.  The first machine’s purpose was to drill holes in the diamond dies.  Laser cutting was improved upon in 1967 with the laser assisted oxygen jet.  This was used to cut metals.  Improvements also appeared in the 1970s, to be used in aerospace applications.  This is also the time that the machines were equipped to also cut non-metals.

Types of Laser Cutting Machines

For laser cutting there are three types of lasers that are used.  There is the CO2 laser, used to cut, bore, and engrave.  The next kind of machine is the neodymium, which is used for high energy and low repetition and used to bore holes.  The third kind of machine is the neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet.  This machine is used when high power is needed and also in boring and engraving.  All three of these cutting machines can be used for welding.

Uses of Laser Cutting

This technology is used to cut materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and plywood.  Laser cutting machines are most commonly used for industrial manufacturing.  The laser cutting application is slowly being picked up and used by hobbyists, small businesses, and schools. Laser cutting can be used to make intricate and elaborate designs on metal sheets.

Laser Cutting Machines Today

The laser cutting machines now are mostly computerized and can be used much easier.  They use a program for the image wanted.  The metal is then put in the machine and the cutter is controlled by the computer.  To use the cutting machines you will need to get some training.   You will be able to produce more detailed products as well as fix what may go wrong, by getting the training.
