3D Printing

December 01, 2017

Man, it's already December 1st.

Time flies.

What's even weirder is that, when I talk to a 90 year old, and ask, "How fast did your life go by?"

They almost always say, "quick."

That's frightening and strange at the same time.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving (and a break from the 3D Printing noise) last week.

I am reading a book written by Oprah (called What I Know for Sure) and discovered an incredibly gifted (and angelic) artist called Snatam Kaur.

If you get a chance, check her out. 

She's INCREDIBLE in my opinion -- even though I don't understand a single word :P

Anyway, I hope you enjoy all the 3D Printing highlights from the past 2 weeks.

Watcha up to? As always, feel free to hit me up for any reason.

Until next time, my friend,
Dilanka

Contemplation: 
"..I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles - a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other - that kept me going..." -- Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary
