His favorites are glass knives and harpoons.   So, in keeping with my bad-ass image of making my own weapons, I decided to make a glass knife.  I had some glass left over from a stained glass project and carefully chipped it into shape- then made a wooden holder and wrapped it with some leather code to hold it into place.   Not a bit of metal in it.   Now, I&#8217;m not going to try and sneak it past a metal detector, but it was an interesting exercise.  <\/p>\n<p>And it works too &#8211; while I was putting it together I accidentally cut my finder on the edge and got a good bleeding going.   Direct pressure and a band-aid took care of it &#8211; but it was a somewhat dangerous weekend for me.   The tattoo still hasn&#8217;t finished healing, I got the glass cut, and I cut my self shaving last evening.   No hospital trips, so I&#8217;m doing okay.<\/p>\n<p>Been playing a fun game on the computer &#8211; Divine Divinity.   The title has really nothing to do with the game, it&#8217;s a standard hack and slash adventure RPG.  Lots of fun though and the quests are interesting.   I&#8217;ve gotten my butt kicked several times, but I&#8217;m playing a lot more methodically and working my way through the orc army.   I&#8217;m also saving more frequently, which is helping with my temper when my computer crashes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, I had to download another fix for Norton anti-virus.   Buggiest piece of software I&#8217;ve seen in a long time.  It kept shutting down with a cryptic error message &#8211; I finally tracked it down and got the fix installed. <\/p>\n<p>A pretty quiet weekend otherwise, watched some DVD&#8217;s and did some reading. Oh, and I made some soap too.<\/p>\n<p>later&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-4211434124870036913?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite books &#8211; Snow Crash &#8211; has a character that gets weapons past all kinds of security by making them out of glass.
