    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

Teambuilding activities · 7:31pm May 14th, 2018

In Non-Compete Clause Applejack and Rainbow Dash cannot agree whether shed building or speed racing is the better activity. Which leads to all sorts of problems.

This weekend's news offers a clear solution:

The Independent: Motorised shed breaks land speed record as it hits 100mph on Welsh beach

I suddenly feel the need to build a motorized shed.

Cheerilee scowled into her beer. "Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled that Ponyville finally has a higher education facility. Really. But Twilight assured me that she wouldn't step on my hooves, and that includes the local traditions."

Dust drifted down from the bar's rafters as a dozen heavy-duty engines rumbled, Ponyville's dirt roads seeming to shudder in fear of what they would be subjected to. From outside, Pinkie Pie's magically amplified voice cried out, "Ladies and gentlebeings! Start! Your! Shedgines!"

Cheerilee took a long pull from her drink. "This? This is stepping on my hooves."

:twilightsmile: That's what happens when your last soapbox derby turns out like "The Cart Before the Ponies."
:moustache: Isn't that exactly how your team building exercise with Applejack and Rainbow Dash went?
:facehoof: Not now, Spike, I'm princessing!

Im Banned from Shed Racing. Due to a simple mistake in names.

They actually meant

This.

I thought they meant.

THIS.

Wow, it can be really difficult to acttually find anything useful these days because of musak and advert redirection. And with recommendation AI its only going to get worse, instead of assistance AI :pinkiesad2:

You can write a story where Silver Spanner builds a motorized shed.

The one I've got has a 3.9L turbocharged diesel. It's not fast, but it's loud and smoky. Well, when it runs.
