		<title>Quick Links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been very busy with a trans-continental move and more&#8230; So I&#8217;m going to try to just post links regularly, rather than longer things.
Via Robert Fortner, who I met at Research Club: proto SMS for pilots, you can listen in.

		<title>Aerospace Resolutions for a New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I know I&#8217;ve been talking a lot about mutoscopes (that thing took all my time), but I really will get back to balloons.  Here&#8217;s a shot of a new design I&#8217;m working on for short hops, it&#8217;s had two flights with two different riggings since september.  it&#8217;s a tetrahedron flying upside down.  I&#8217;m going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Made a Mutoscope (design rationale)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

There are many reasons to love mutoscopes, from nostalgia to mechanical beauty, but any expensive niche medium competing with less expensive and widely available systems must have a design rationale and purpose in it&#8217;s own right beyond the purely aesthetic.  Within the context of the art world mutoscopes have a place as more than a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mutoscope Finishing &amp; Miniaturizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Between coats of paint and sealer, waiting for the last epoxy bonds to take hold, and tweaking the Mutoscope&#8217;s tripod I&#8217;ve played around with small mutoscope reels.  Last year I tried making one out of paper with a craft knife, but the accuracy of a knife and flimsiness of paper got the better of me.

Now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Other Mutoscopes + Micro Movie Projectors!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two other people making mutoscopes:
The Process Enacted Mutoscope uses over 900 Polaroids, and is finished elegantly, but runs in spits.  One immediate refinement I&#8217;d suggest is to change the gearing.  It looks like it&#8217;s geared 1:1 or 2:1. I bet if they geared down the crank 20:1 or more the flipping of the cards would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romanians to space with a solar balloon stage?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[real quick, this came in via Yahoo Solar Balloons group.  I didn&#8217;t even know these guys were working.  The record of balloon stages for rocket launches is a mediocre one, I hope they solve both launch and high altitude wind vibration problems!
