When a terrarium is overcrowded, the plants cannot grow to their full potential. Best practice is to repot the plants into new bigger containers. This terrarium was glass, so we had to use a hammer to break the glass and remove the plants!
Special soil for cacti and succulent plants (called Cactus Mix) is not too dense, so the water can drain out and the roots do not drown.
We carefully removed the glass bits that were stuck in the roots and soil before repotting.

You asked for it, and we did it. A recent office printer purchase was the perfect scenario to do the Mac versus Windows Print Test Page Competition, i.e., to test out the “print test page” function on the Mac and Windows printer system settings. Do they return the same results?
We printed to the Toshiba e-Studio3525AC printer/copier.
The test results are in!
Which do you think is the winner?
In terms of simple color and design, nothing beats Mac. However, in terms of useful information, including website printer location, Windows wins!

The 3D World year-end meet and greet was a huge success.
We ate lunch, played football and frisbee, tossed beach balls, flew kites, raced with an egg in a spoon, and so much!
It js always great seeing the avatars in real life.

The 811Q machine shop has undergone a (partial) renovation. Most of the equipment in the front half of the room was replaced with horticulture materials, including four tower gardens. The back half is still a machine/wood shop.
Zoom in to get the panoramic view.

Did the title of the post get your attention? I refer to the “The End” text that a student 3D printed yesterday using a 3Doodler handheld 3D printer. That and other prints — especially bubble wands — are below.
