It’s been a big month here at Space Squid central command. Our clay tablet edition earned not one, but two writeups on Wired.com. Which in turn inspired some meming all over the interwebs, including this blog post that seemed to think that molten lead would be an easier casting method than plastic resin (I actually have some lead sitting around, but I’m saving its melting for something really awesome).
So if you got memed by the Space Squid clay tablet issue, my apologies and nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah.
There’s still four clay tablets that haven’t found owners yet, but I figure they’ll keep, so I’ll find something to do with them later.
During the research and development phase, and the frenetic lead-up to Armadillocon, there were three tablets that ended up broken to some degree. I have decided that their shards need to be scattered throughout the Austin area for the benefit of future generations of archeologists. So expect more photos on this subject.
The less that is said about the Space Squid room party at Armadillocon the better. For legal reasons.
Meanwhile, I put in an order for the replacement parts that should get Sanjay2, our beloved photocopier working. Then I will fill the sci-fi community with more Space Squid than anyone can handle.
