Yudu = pimped out scanner.
Last week I got to thinking… I bet you can convert an old scanner into a light box and use it to expose silk screens. Yes, you can turn one into a light box. Check out Matt Sanfilippio’s blog for an example. But can you rig this new light box to work with the YUDU Mesh Screens?
In April I posted about the $300 YUDU silkcreen station. My theory was that it’s sort of a overpriced DIY product targeting the whole online etsian craft community. It’s been posted that within the Etsy forums that best bang for you buck it to buy a unit and then buy bulk silkcreen supplies to save money.
I’m convinced that it’s possible to save a little more if you have an old scanner laying around. Why because the YUDU is essentially a pimped out scanner unit with extra features. If you don’t care about the built in dryer, I’m willing to bet that once you convert the scanner into a light box, the next step would be to drill some sort of pegs & hinge system into the scanner to work with the YUDU mesh screen holes & Yudu T-shirt Platen.
I’m not sure if this works, but I wanted to through the idea out there. If anyone decides to try this please leave a comment on my blog and let me know if it works. Good luck. Maybe I can convince my husband to help try to execute this.

I thank god for my naturally strait hair & Kirk Original glasses. Note back in the 80’s I did have a perm, but I don’t think I ever looked this dorky in any of my yearbook photos.

Whip It Trailer…

View trailer :: Whip It Movie Written by Shauna Cross & directed by Drew Barrymore.
Riding Giants, Dogtown & Z boys, Thrashin, Gleaming the Cube… It’s about time someone made a movie about women & indie sports. As a girl who has skateboarded and snowboarded since the 1990’s it’s exciting news to finally have a film that focuses on women & action sports. After watching the trailer, I feel like this is a testament to how I felt growing up (minus the beauty pageant & lame mom.)
The cast hosts a line up of many of my favorite female actresses – Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore, Stuntwoman Zoe Bell, Juliette Lewis, and Eve. I also learned that Minneapolis recording artist Har Mar Superstar will have a part as a ref.
Will whip it inspire girls to get involved the sport of rollerderby? If yes contact your local rollerderby team to volunteer or come see us at bouts.

The Ride of Silence 09 Minneapolis
May 21, 2009 by infraredstudio
Jimmy Nisser’s Ghostbike memorial site - ghostbikempls.org
On May 20, 2009, 7:00 PM – cyclists worldwide gather in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20 kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways. Yesterday I rode together in a pack of about 100 bikers along side my brother in law & husband. Sadly biker Dennis Dumm was killed earlier that day on 15th and Park near downtown, which is why I chose to participate in the ride.
The ride stared at 34th & Lyndale and proceeded to the ghostbike location of Jimmy Nisser’s ghostbike, and then on to Dennis’s site where we met his family & friends in tears. This was a very emotional ride for everyone, but powerful. Although those in cars did not understand why a pack of cyclists took the streets, it still made a huge impact, many stopped and watched. The downside is that many spectators thought it was fun to see the group- many of them did not know that this was a tribute to the fallen bikers of the twin cities. Randy, Will, and I rode to Nicholas ‘Nik’ H. Morton’s bike and proceed home. The ride went to St. Paul to visit the last ghostbike of Virginia “Ginny” Heuer.
I often I fear the dreaded phone call, as my husband and many friends commute in rain, heat, and snow via bike to work. Minneapolis has one of the biggest population of bicyclist commuters in the nation and many of the dedicated bikers fight to keep the city streets safe to ride. I have chosen to ride to work in the past and have experienced many asshole drivers who choose to harass bikers on the street, one even who veered close to me intentionally.
