I believe that everybody's purpose in life should be God. Then everything else along with our lives will fall in place. Our careers, our goals, marriage, and anything else that you can think of. Keep in mind that God is above all.

Printing In 3d From Your Desktop
Can you imagine printing anything you need at home from your printer like an ipod cover or something to eat? Well, there is such a thing. It is the project of Evan Malone, a graduate student in mechanical engineering at Cornell University. It is called a fabricating machine. Now it might be possible to bring fabrication to our desktop and anybody can invent technology.
Most of the time when you think of something, it seems somebody has already invented it. I use to imagine taking things from a Sears catalog and making it appear at home when I was a little girl around Christmas time. I wanted to invent some way to do that, and I thought it was impossible. I was always daydreaming. If I can own a fabricating machine, I wouldn’t have to go to the store anymore. Hey, I could save loads of money. Of course, I would have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for the machine.
It is said that three-dimensional fabrication tools have been around for years. They can be used to make car parts or other machinery in a matter of minutes. Malone wants to build something cheap and reliable for hobbist. I hear you Malone! This idea can lead to greater things. For writers, musicians, filmmakers, and anyone that has a hobby. It would be helpful to me. With the machine, you could really share your ideas like we do on the internet. That means download and print items and upload your own projects. Wouldn’t that be cool? After all, the machine is just a printer. It is a 3D printer. In the future, that might be all Hewlett Packard DeskJet printers will be. I am excited about technology. It’s amazing what man can think of and do.
At Fab@home you can learn more about the fabricating machine and how it works. They have photos and videos for you to see. It is a very interesting website with loads of information about it.
