3D Printers to make body parts

3D printers work by slowly layering a substance, usually a polymer, until the object is created. You can actually buy an open-source 3D printer from Makerbot for a bit over a thousand bucks.

This guy can sing both parts of A Whole New World.

The body language works, too. With proper preparation, he would have no problem passing.

Suggested Reading

I have been reading some excellent stories that will appeal to some of the folks here.

http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/FT-index.html

If you don't like furries or science fiction, don't bother.

The Chakat universe involves Earth and the surrounding star systems a few hundred years from now. There are aliens, Earth-developed anthropomorphic beings, humans, star ships, and all the stuff that goes along with that.

The title species, the Chakat, are a race of felitaurs (think of a centaur, but with a cat body for the lower half, and an anthropomorphic cat for the upper half.

Abomination???

This is quite interesting:

http://biblethumpingliberal.com/2011/05/19/you-can%E2%80%99t...

I hadn't taken it to quite the extreme that the author did, but he is exactly right.

The article mentions the Old Testament prohibition of homosexuality, but it is equally applicable to what the OT says about cross dressing.

There are lots of other examples of rules that people universally consider to be Christian commandments, when what they really are is cultural norms masquerading as morality.

puff puff puff... bike... puff puff puff

I bought a nice mountain bike with 24 gear ratios (eight sprockets in the back, three up front,) 29" knobby tires, and shock absorbers front and back.

It's nothing like what Bev and Ang and Cyclist ride, but it suits the dirt road and trails around here. In fact, it's probably less expensive than just the frames that they have. It appears to be made out of aluminum, not titanium or graphite.

If you haven't read EOF's Dark Realms stories, you won't get this.

Um...

Cliffhangers

As I mentioned in some story comments...

I'm beginning to suspect that EOF, Ang, Maggie, and a few other authors all got together and decided to hold a cliffhanger contest.

Now that we're all hanging off of half a dozen cliffs, has a winner been declared?

Interesting take on gender

This is an interesting take on the meaning and origin of expressed gender. It looks like a good discussion starter, anyhow.

Privacy and convenience in browsing anywhere

Author, Rating and Tags:

Modern browsers have lots of convenient features, like the ability to remember your passwords, and the ability to easily go to sites that you commonly visit. For instance, all I have to do is start typing "bi" in my browser, and it brings up a list of previously visited sites that contain "bi" -- Big Closet being at the top of the list. It will also auto-enter my user name and password when I want to log in.

MORFS: Incomplete Without You

The Pentwater Chronicles 1:
Incomplete Without You
A MORFS Universe Tale
by Ray Drouillard

MORFS: Incomplete Without You, part 02

Synopsis:
"Instead of building a resort or a city, Marvin Pentwater built a haven and workplace for people who have been gifted with powers. Years later, his grandson and heir, Marvin Pentwater III received his gift. Young Marvin couldn't complain about his physique, nor could he complain about the gaggle of talents he wielded. What he could complain about was the distinct lack of power. He grew up in a place where powers are common and esteemed, but he couldn't lift but a few ounces with his telekinesis. Soon, he met an unusual friend with similar challenges."

I hadn't intended on entering the All Souls Day contest, but, on the very last day, I realized that I had a partially written story that fits.

It can kind of stand by itself, but it can also be continued -- if there is sufficient interest.

MORFS: Incomplete Without You, part 01

This is yet another series in the MORFS universe. I have the second installment pretty much written, and will post it a week after Britney posts it to the MORFS site. Of course, I have to send it to her first. :-)

There are no real TG elements in part one, though they are implied, and will be explored later.

MORFS: Journey to Humanity (part 09 of 09)

This is story number two of my Acts of Humanity continuum. It starts after Better Late Than Never starts, parallels it for a while, then really starts going places.


Synopsis
"Matthew Jones is the only son of Randy Jones, honored deacon of the Church of Genetic Purity. He and his girlfriend, Amy Cox, have been taught from birth that MORFS is a symptom of moral depravity. While they had quietly questioned that doctrine, they were not prepared for the opportunity to find out for themselves."

MORFS: Better Late Than Never (part 3 of 3)

This is the first story that I have ever published (posted to the web.) It is a MORFS story that I am splitting into bite-sized pieces for BCTS.

This is a story from Britney McMaster's MORFS universe. The first MORFS story is Sanura's Tale, though this one will, IMHO, serve well enough as an introduction.


Synopsis
"Doctors Howard and Sara Martin have been studying MORFS since MORFS first appeared. As some of the world's foremost experts on MORFS, they were ready when Larry and Cindy, their twins, came down with the condition. But before they could catch their collective breath, they received the opportunity to study MORFS from a completely different perspective."
