Nowwith a few days under my belt on new picks for my Cassin X-Dreams from Howey Tools, I thought I'd post a review up here for a great small business.

After burning through about 1-2 picks a season on the Mixt picks for the x-dream, I was beginning to consider selling my tools for either Grivels or Nomics. Frankly, I was getting sick of having to tune the picks after every climbing day, and sometimes mid-day. I love the x-dreams, but the reality of spending somewhere around 100-200 bucks a season to keep my picks sharp, the nomic or tech-machine was starting to look appealing. Krukonogi's had been around awhile, but at $70 a pop and having to order them from Russia, I was a little gun shy. I found Howey Tools, and at $40/pick USD, I thought it was worth a shot before selling off the tools.



I ordered the picks from his website, and with the roughly $15 shipping for expedited shipping (just $2 more), they arrived in under a week from Canada to Montana. They mounted easily, and come with bolts (higher quality than stock X-Dream bolts). The ice picks don't extend quite as far down the tool as the stock Mixt picks, but otherwise the geometry is very similar. They are slightly narrower than the Mixt, and have a very different cutout pattern and drilled holes which allow them to use petzl massolettes if you want to add pick weights. One of the picks was slightly harder to install - the hole seemed ever-so-slightly out of line, but it only took a few seconds of fiddling to get it one.



My first day out on them, the ice in Hyalite was wet and plasticy for the first few routes, all which were WI3. The sticks were solid - almost all 1 swing hits - but the ice was so wet, that I really don't think picks would have mattered. Cleaning the tools in this ice was just as easy as the mixt, if not moreso. I have heard kruk picks need to be detuned on the teeth closer to the shaft - not so for the Howey picks. Toward the end of the day, though, I got on a route that was more sheltered and the ice was a bit harder and much thinner. I found I was able to gently tap into the harder, colder ice and get very solid sticks. As the ice got thicker, I was still able to get 1-swing sticks on almost every hit. Compared to my Mixt picks, I was definitely displacing less ice. Most impressively, I took a swing into what I thought was deeper ice, and hit rock below. When I looked at the pick after, it was barely dinged at all. That would have blunted my mixt pick, and required a tune up that shaved a centimeter of length. The Howey pick was barely scratched.



This weekend, I got some colder climbs in early in the morning. The picks on cold ice still displace ice compared to a nomic pur'ice pick, but man, they are leagues ahead of the Mixt. Still mostly getting 1 swing hits on ice that was pretty picked out. I got on a steeper WI4/4+ with a mixture of ice that was dripping wet and ice that was old and brittle, and was able to either bury the tools to the head in the wet ice to get a screw in, or gently tap into the old, brittle ice for solid sticks.



Overall, I would highly recommend these picks for x-dream users. They are about the same price, and way more durable. They outperfom stock mixt pick and the ice pick on ice, and have comparable performance on rock.


I have posted so much about how much I like the Howey Tool picks over the stock X-Dream picks, Howey should give a commission. It took me awhile to get used to climbing multiple days in row without needing to file my picks, my files are getting lonely.



After upgrading to the Howey picks, buy the Petzl pick weights: -axes/MASSELOTTES and ice climbing will become so easy you'll need to start mixed climbing.



Howey, still can't wait for those here-any-day-now X-dream picks with hammers...


I've used a Howey pick on my Nomics for most of the season. For comparison, one tool has a Pur Ice pick, the other has the Howey. At first I thought the Howey worked very slightly better (good sticks, good cleaning) than the Pur Ice in various ice conditions. After using it extensively, I really can't tell the difference with the Pur Ice. Upon receiving the picks, the pick design, with the claw-like first tooth, concerned me as to its durability. With the claw design, you have very limited resharpenings before the tooth is gone, unlike the Pur Ice which has a longer first tooth. Upon hitting a rock a few days ago, my concerns were supported--the tooth was beat down, and sharpening took a lot of life out of the pick. Although the steel is supposed to be tougher, I have not been able to detect any difference from the Petzl pick via sharpening with a file--doesn't seem to be any harder steel, and sharpens easily. I haven't hit a rock with the Petzl pick, so no comparison there. Sooo, I'll go back to the Pur Ice pick--seems to last longer with no degradation in performance. Regarding the Pur Ice, it does seem to be a lot nicer in thick ice than the standard Petzl Ice pick.


At its core, Wakelet is a curation tool. Curation is an integral part of what librarians do for themselves, their libraries, and the people they serve. But it goes beyond any curation tool I have ever used. It is fluid and can bend itself to almost any project and need. It can be just for you or shared with a small, closed audience, with the community, or with the world!


To take sharing a step further, if you go to Contributors, librarians can invite teams, departments, colleagues, etc. to work on a collection with them. They can also generate a shareable link or code for any patron, student, etc. they choose and have several folks add to the collection. This can be invaluable for collaboration.


What type of things could folks share in or with a library? One of the obvious choices would be sharing reviews. Folks can share what they have read and their thoughts on the books. They could link Goodreads reviews, local bookseller links, book lists, Libby or Overdrive collections, and more!


I started curating book trailers of the Indiana Young Hoosier Book Award Nominees in one of my collections. Libraries could also use Wakelet to curate existing videos or to share videos of book trailers that were created by staff or patrons.


Abracadabra! I had a collection with all of that research saved in one place. Then I added some text and moved things to the bottom as I went through those resources to help me track my progress. You can also drag and drop from the new tab screen with the extension.


Designs for Risk Evaluation and Management, or DREAM, is a tool that generates and optimizes monitoring programs for detecting potential leaks from geological carbon storage. DREAM analyzes outputs from full-physics simulators, geophysical models, or reduced order models and uses probabilistic and heuristic algorithms to identify the best monitoring network based on user-defined objectives and constraints.


in fact you can think of blocks as files, in a way, although a traditional text file could also be a block. the difference is that its easy to add arbitrary metadata to any block and change its content / manipulate its connected blocks based on that.


then, what we need is some sort of unix-ish I/O format that is shared between all blocks and used for communication and data manipulation. this will allow us to do things like connect text documents to images, UI controls to API calls, and actually hook things up.


i wanna be able to connect any code i write and its output to any other block. like, a python function that picks a random number, then uses that random number to find a random youtube video. or a function that picks a number from 1-10 and then uses that to pick the order of players in an online board game. these are simple but important use cases to show how we can be using more casual programming in our daily lives. and you should be able to run all bits of code. any language and runtime!


all standard transformation and layout functions from design programs are available: i can take pieces of code, text, etc and select them with a brush. i can trasnfrom them with a brush! i can paint on top of them, put visual filters on everything, make my code glow.


i can feed my camera input as well and use that as a constant stream into filters, games, or other properties of the other blocks / objects on the canvas. for example, I can take my camera input, feed it into an ML image segmentation model, and connect its vertex data to circles on the canvas to create a live running 2d facial mesh. i can use my head tilt angle to navigate and pan the canvas, or to tie the size of my face in the camera to the z-index / zoom level of the canvas


the canvas essentially has its own runtime: its a massive 2D programming environment that emphasizes parallelism. it is big dynamic computation graph where its nodes are different media types and functions and UI that communicate between them. maybe it still has some structure and ultimately lies on a grid that can be used to easily index coordinates of objects, like a spreadsheet.


i can create variations of any work, any sequence of actions, and create branches of event timelines. i can browse and edit the timeline and make clips of any point in history to be able to replay or recreate.


i can break this UI out of the screen and distribtue it across other computing mediums or devices. i can tie it to bluetooth. i can connect all sorts of hardware into input. the canvas itself has a streaming input that other data sources and devices can feed into.


its basically a completely self editing environment that comes prebuilt with all of the primitives you need to create any kind of custom interface or rebuild itself. in a sense its a turing complete tool, in a way its primitives and the rules they interact with is kinda like its DNA: it contains instructions on how the system can self replicate.


Published in Nature Methods, Rice University bioengineers developed a tool that activates silent or insufficiently expressed genes using human-derived proteins termed mechanosensitive transcription factors. These naturally enable cells to switch on specific genes in response to mechanical cues.
