I am still here, still tinkering on my K-9.<br />
<br />
7th December last year, I came to my laptop that was running fine a few minutes earlier and it just had a black screen. It could not be revived. It took over two months until work managed to get a replacement laptop to me with all my data recovered on it. So now I can access the web more easily and get back to blogging my creative endeavours.<br />
<br />
More posts to follow shortly, so stay tuned.<br />

CentrStage is gearing up for a Dr Who-themed play in Launceston this week.<br />
<br />
Evolutionary scientists believe the humble dog may have been the first domesticated animal on the planet.<br />

</tbody></table>Humans and canines are believed to have first joined forces more than 10,000 years ago, and the relationship has been so successful that the dog has been dubbed “man’s best friend”.<br />
<br />
But the dog of the future may be more along the aluminium-plated lines of the star of CentrStage’s upcoming comedy, Who Knows.<br />
<br />
The Dr Who-themed play features the title character’s constant companion, the robot dog, K9.<br />
Who Knows director David Quinn has already formed a strong bond with K9, who will be performing in the show from 7pm at the Annexe Theatre at Inveresk, from Wednesday, September 28 to Saturday, October 1, with a matinee at 11am on Friday, September 30.<br />
<br />
Quinn has praised both the cast and the technical crew who have brought K9 and the rest of the Dr Who world to life.<br />
<br />
Along with the antenna-eared K9, technical staff have also sourced or built from scratch a range of other Dr Who props, including a TARDIS, Daleks and a time travel computer.<br />
<br />
“When it all was put together, it was fantastic. When you see it under light, it looks amazing,” Quinn said, while throwing an affectionate arm around K9.<br />
<br />
“The people that have put so much work into it have really kicked it up a notch.<br />
<br />
“We even have a Dalek; we’ve nicknamed him Jerry.”<br />
<br />
Quinn said the show, while technically complex, was coming together well.<br />
<br />
“Everyone has stepped up to the mark and we are going to have a fantastic looking show as a result,” Quinn said.<br />
<br />
Who Knows, is being performed by CentrStage, from 7pm at the Annexe Theatre at Inveresk, from September 28 to October 1, with a matinee at 11am on September 30.<br />
<br />
Tickets are available through the Princess Theatre on (03) 6323 3666.<br />

In this podcast Gerri and Eugenia have a conversation with someone very special to them! John Leeson the voice of K9 one of the Doctor’s longest running companions. K9 has worked with more incarnations of the Doctor than any other companion has! Go on Google him! John Leeson played the voice of K9 for most of the last 25 years and in this podcast we get to listen to some of his most memorable moments from the set of the show, his career in the arts and his passion for food and wine. Gerri and Eugenia were very lucky to meet not only one of their icons but a charming and very interesting man! Their thanks go to Gifts for the Geek <a href="http://www.giftsforthegeek.com.au/">www.giftsforthegeek.com.au</a> for this wonderful interview.Izzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515097147507209195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655054166505923766.post-68298143715725533062011-06-26T16:20:00.000+10:002011-06-26T16:20:31.141+10:00K-9 Cross-stitchIf the current range of K-9 craft wasn't enough for you, there is even a cross-stitch pattern available from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/elfstitch">here</a>!<br />

It is just a waste of paper.<br />
<br />
To stop this happening here, I have installed a new tool, called <a href="http://www.printfriendly.com/">PrintFriendly</a>. So if you open a post you are interested (as a separate post, not in the blog feed), then you will have a couple icons come up, giving you the option to print the post, or save it as a PDF. All free, and free of ads too. I hope it saves some hassles as well as saving some trees.<br />

</tbody></table>To make your own, you can download the pattern for free from the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mini-k9">Ravelry link</a>. I had to add a weight into his bottom whilst stuffing so he can sit on the table without doing a face-plant. Knitted in 2.75 mm (US 2) needles with scraps of 8ply yarn.<br />

Thank you <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/helen-callis">Helen Callis</a> for creating such a cute pattern!Izzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515097147507209195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655054166505923766.post-77220140969332864062011-05-19T12:30:00.002+10:002011-05-19T12:30:00.510+10:00Desktop Patrolling K-9I have come across this news and must share. In September a desktop patrolling K-9 is due for release. Here is some info on them:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: <a href="http://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/p8166/Doctor_Who_-_Desktop_Patrol_K-9/product_info.html">http://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/p8166/Doctor_Who_-_Desktop_Patrol_K-9/product_info.html</a></span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: #4c1130;">Set K-9 loose on a flat surface and he'll navigate his way around. Anytime K-9 senses a nearby object, he'll say, "Access denies, recalculating route. If he happens to bump into something, he'll apologise and move on. With 3 settings (OFF, Master for male owners, Mistress for females), K-9 will defend you and your desktop by warning you with "Danger Master/Mistress" when going near an edge, then backing away, as well as warning you of any deadly <a href="http://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/p7227/Doctor_Who_-_Dalek_Desktop_Patrol/product_info.html">Desktop Patrol Daleks</a> that may be nearby, even going as far as engaging them in battle!</div><br />
I am rather excited by the release. It shouldn't be over priced too, with a current RRP of £11.99.Izzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515097147507209195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655054166505923766.post-54626582941714021052011-05-09T14:00:00.000+10:002011-05-09T14:00:06.245+10:00Make a Mini K-9This is a cute little K-9 project.<br />

<span class="bodyStyleGrey"> <img align="right" alt="Dr. Who's K9 robot dog" src="http://www.dadcando.com/Making/AdvancedModels/Images/K93-246.jpg" /><div align="left" style="color: #4c1130;">When the BBC decided to bring back Dr. Who, they even brought back faithful old K9, and a whole new generation of kids got bitten by the Time Lord bug. <br />
<span class="bodyStyleGrey"> . . . My kids were no different, and so we decided to make a K9 to go with our <a href="http://www.dadcando.com/default_MAKING.asp?project=Make%20a%20TARDIS&catagory=AdvancedModels">TARDIS</a>. For anyone who doesn’t know what this is, K9 was Dr. Who’s robot dog from way back when, although he did make a brief re-appearance in the recent series. Dr. Who first came to TV in 1963, over 40 years ago. But then 40 years is just a blink of an eye to an immortal from another galaxy, and so the magic of Dr. Who is the same now as it ever was.</span><br />
<span class="bodyStyleGrey"> . . . If you haven’t seen the show, I recommend the series on DVD as almost essential viewing for anyone aged 8 and over (some scenes may be a bit scary for younger viewers).</span><br />
<span class="bodyStyleGrey"> . . . To make your K9 you really need to use <a href="http://www.dadcando.com/default_MAKING.asp?project=Foamboard&catagory=BasicModel">foamboard</a>, and to finish it off a hyper-bright red <a href="http://www.dadcando.com/default_MAKING.asp?project=LEDs&catagory=BasicModel">LED</a> for the eyes, but these are not big hurdles, because you can easily and cheaply buy both on-line from various merchants.</span><br />
<span class="bodyStyleGrey"> . . . <img align="left" alt="Dr. Who's K9 robot dog" src="http://www.dadcando.com/Making/AdvancedModels/Images/K9-246.jpg" />This model was made extra tricky because my son wanted it to be the same scale as the <a href="http://www.dadcando.com/default_MAKING.asp?project=Make%20a%20TARDIS&catagory=AdvancedModels">TARDIS</a>. Even though the TARDIS was quite big, K9 is still a small model, and a whole lot of new issues come with making a small model. If you build a bigger one, why not build it over the base of a cheap remote control car. Foamboard is very light and most remote control cars have their rechargeable battery compartment door on their underside anyway. All you need to do is build your body to replace the car’s body and hey presto, you have rejuvenated an old toy and made something really cool, a radio controlled K9. </span></div><div align="left"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMmxBrSH7pFrFRoiKVZWqcnd4OS76BiJZrSTvxo1-W519iHqqVhRP93Vhn7Yh9_bbYzwU58H7b0fdmqEBwgcuoIK8fjOwMMTnsWzoedKRE_hTNfoNUXsUawj9Ybjd9tDuY3zYamETngo/s1600/K9x-section425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMmxBrSH7pFrFRoiKVZWqcnd4OS76BiJZrSTvxo1-W519iHqqVhRP93Vhn7Yh9_bbYzwU58H7b0fdmqEBwgcuoIK8fjOwMMTnsWzoedKRE_hTNfoNUXsUawj9Ybjd9tDuY3zYamETngo/s400/K9x-section425.jpg" width="357" /></a></div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>This here design is a collaboration between Kari Fry and Jason Novak. Since Jason is an awesome writer, and Kari not good at making words, Jason's doing the interview solo:</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>Tell us about this design.</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Well, Kari wanted me to come up with ideas for T-shirts. One thing that has always interested me is the idea of a mash-up, like in music. You know, taking two ideas and making something new from them. In fact, the blog I write for, To Eleven (at <a href="http://toeleven.net/" target="_blank">http://toeleven.net</a>) posts mash-up music we find on the internet. So, this shirt is an extension of that.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>Where are you from?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">I'm originally from Canton, Ohio, the Hall of Fame City. But I hate football, so I don't talk about that. Now, I live in Shaker Heights, Ohio.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>How would you describe your style?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Well, the idea's style is the mash-up thing I was talking about. I was the brains, but Kari's the talent. Not that she doesn't have brains. I assume she does, actually.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>If you could collaborate with anyone, who would you pick?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Kari Fry! If not her, then a graphic designer I know, Jayson Shenk. He cowrites the blog with me, and he does great design work, too!</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>What historical figure do you most admire?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Probably someone like F. Scott Fitzgerald or J. D. Salinger. Really anyone with a letter for their first name. No, seriously, I'm a writer, and those are two authors I love.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>If you weren't designing shirts, what would you be doing?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Writing, listening to music, gaining super powers through high doses or radiation and spider venom. You know...keeping it real.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>Would you rather guest star on a cartoon or a sitcom?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">I'm kind of a walking cartoon as it is, but I'd like to guest star on an episode of How I Met Your Mother. I think Ted Mosby's from Shaker Heights, so we'd have something to talk about!</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>Cats vs. Star Wars: which would win the battle?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Star Wars, because cats don't have the Death Star. Cats would totally PWN Star Trek, though.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>What is your favorite t-shirt color?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">Black or Grey.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>What has been your favorite vacation or travel experience?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">I have visited Pittsburgh a few times, and I really liked it. Lots of independent music stores there.</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #4c1130;"><strong>Any shout outs?</strong></div><div style="color: #4c1130;">I'd like to give a shout out to my girlfriend, Adele, and to my brother and my sister-in-law, Ryan Novak and Kari Fry!

It is for a K-9 soft toy. The pattern and description can be found <a href="http://crafty-tardis.livejournal.com/330704.html">here</a>.<br />

They are dyed in onion peals then an image is scratched into the egg using a sharp object like a pin. Usually images are of chickens, bunnies, ducks, bazie (pussy willow), wheat, and other imagery depicting new life and happiness.<br />
<br />
This year I thought I would make one slightly different, but an object that does bring me lots of joy, K-9. Here is the result...<br />
