San Francisco Exploratorium
Someone spent a lot of time, making a water 'ink' printer. They made it work. It's a real rube goldberg design, and not a cartoon drawing.
Be easy enough to put paint in it!!
In somewhere hot and dry that message would last about 2 minutes. Maybe less.
That's awesome. I made the mistake of spilling the tiniest bit of acid out of a deep cycle battery onto my basement floor. It ate that concrete like you wouldn't believe. All it would take is an old car battery.......
Used to have season tickets for a decade when the kids were young. Love that place. I/we did an exhibit there of freezing bubbles showing off our cryo coolers back in the mid 80's. Last time I was there was for the mars rover landing taking my nephew...now it's an over night trip. :(Quote:

Dancing water that appeared to be gravity defying, realistically live animated dinosaurs. Too much fascinating things to list even if I could remember them all. Never knew about this place in SF. the few times I've been there it was get there, unload and leave as fast as I could. I was about 15 miles from the epicenter of the quake that brought down several over passes I think was in 90 or 91Quote:

Sometimes when things are 36 years ago the memories can be foggy of exact year, we had recently installed a string of our 4 oust parking lot lifts in San Jose maybe further then 15 miles from the epicenter but not by much, being that the platforms were cable suspended from the 4 leg the string of lifts shared common legs with the next lift and the legs were mounted on grid work of 10" wide steel plates running the length of the 10 lifts in back and front and only nailed to the asphalt parking lot instead of on concrete with anchor bolts was probably what prevented any noticeable damage other than the 2ft long rebar nails backing out of the ground some.Quote:

With 76 years of memories, some do fade with age. Some are as clear as yesterday. For others that folder is completely missing from the “file cabinet”.
