New Minecraft Server!
The old colony on Oney's server was destroyed last night by griefers. Not to worry, I have a backup colony I've been working on in single player. Might have some bugs/jank since I converted it to Java from the Bedrock Edition map format. Message me your Minecraft name so I can add it to the ...

Hamster Father's Undersea Adventure
I've never been this wet on camera before...
Success!
Jade has returned to the deep, following habitat evaluation. Everything looks green for longterm use of these modules, and I do mean longterm. Now to shift my focus to Hambunker and Megahab.
Hampture Update: Both Modules Rebuilt, Submerged, & Lookin Rad
Feeling a lot more confident in these habs now that I totally rebuilt them using improved construction techniques. This should mean better reliability across the board moving into the future, with Megahab in particular. Gate valve problem was easily solved simply by replacing the habitat shell and d...
Good and Bad News
Good news: The right hab module is 100% perfect. Tight as a drum, to where I'd even trust it at 1atm down to a depth of a couple feet. It's the nesting and recreation module. There's no food, water or litterbox in there, so it can remain permanently submerged. This is practice for the ev...
Decorating Hampture, Inside & Out
T-minus 48 hours until the habitats are re-submerged. Silicone takes forever to cure and I only remembered today that I meant to disassemble the gate valve, wash out the accumulated silica granules, then re-assemble it. That needed to be silicone sealed to the habitat shell too, otherwise the habs w...
Habitat renovation
Until now I have attempted, with new habs, to rely on washers with rubber gaskets to seal hull penetrating bolts connecting ballast pods to the habitat shell. This turns out to only sort of work. If pressure is lost, water ingress occurs. So I yanked both habs out of the water, tore them down and re...
Hampture Update: 3D printing! Habitat construction! New Years Hampstravaganza!
Maybe the real underwater hamsters were the friends we made along the way?
Hampture Update: The Habitat Leaked! (Don't Worry, Hambros are Fine)
Be advised: Hollywood lied to you. The worst case scenario in an underwater base with a hull breach is that your shoes and socks get soggy.

Hampture Goes Underground
Announcing Hambunker: The subterranean hamster base!Not to worry, progress continues on Megahab. It's just cold as fuck out right now so I can't do anything with the pool. Megahab only needs to be ready by Summer, in the meantime the most frequent suggestion besides Hamplumbia has been a sub...

Is a hamster not entitled to the corms of his cheek pouch? "No" say the Rattitors, "they belong to everybody"

Hampture Update: Back From Vacation, Footage Coming Soon
Guess who's back, back again. Hampture's back, tell a friend
New shirt: "Make Tunles"
Still on vacation for one more day. Forgive the lack of updates, internet sucks out here in the woods, on an island. I meant to be back by the 17th but had the chance to extend it by 10 days and jumped at it. Will now return some time near the 27th, with a fresh video soon after.
Hampture Update: Major Habitat Construction & Humidity Filters
Following upload I also found the 110v plug male end I bought from Home Depot and attached it securely to the end of the heater pad cord. The gate valve needs a little silicone after all I think, but that's not a big deal. Basically all I'm waiting on now is the correct threaded male fitting...
How is a Submersible Different From a Submarine? How is Either Different from a Spacecraft?
sourceThat thing in the picture is a submarine, right? NO! It may surprise you to learn this, but that’s a different category of underwater vessel. I know what you’re thinking, “haven’t you written enough about marine engineering trivia?” The answer is no, there will never be enough.source...
Hampture Update: Live Aquarium Cam + New Parts
Still can't find the fuckin' drill battery charger, may have to just bite the bullet and buy another one. Or finish unpacking my stuff. I am torn here, between my laziness and my stinginess. Surely you can appreciate the dilemma. Anyway hope you guys enjoy the aquarium cam, it's weirdly ...
The History of Submarines, and Undersea Warfare
sourceI'd wager most people know what this is a picture of, off the top of their heads. The Turtle, built in 1775 is widely but mistakenly believed to be the world's first submersible. It's mostly famous because it destroyed itself in the attempt to sink a ship in 1776.sourceThe first Ru...
New US Antarctic Base to Begin Construction This Year
I've written extensively about research bases in Antarctica before, but this time is different. That's because the new base is in fact a replacement for McMurdo, the largest single community in Antarctica by population, at over 1,000 people during the Summer.sourceFeast your eyes on that. Be...
Hampture Update: Habitat Construction & Footage From Inside
Tier 1 supporters get a jar of authentic Hampture aquarium water. Tier 2 supporters get signed, framed copies of my lewds. Tier 3 supporters get a ten minute erotic phonecall wherein I roleplay as a bashful Louie Armstrong.
The Next Generation of Antarctic Stations: Living and Working on the Last Unsettled Continent!
sourceYou may recall that I've covered the dizzying variety of Antarctic research stations in the past. On more than one occasion, in fact. Looks like I'm not done, and that Antarctica is becoming increasingly populated!That's good news from the perspective of a futurist. Who hasn't ...
Hampture Update: Tube Saga Conclusion!
It's been a long road. Those pompous fools at the academy said it couldn't be done. They laughed at me! Laughed! But now, as I stand upon the precipice of triumph and look down at them like the tiny insects they are, I feel only warm satisfaction trickling down my pant leg. Wait, no, that...
Camp Century: America's nuclear powered base under the Greenland ice sheet.
Source Project Iceworm was the code name for a US government plan to build nuclear missile silos in Northern Greenland, within striking distance of the Soviet Union. To study the feasibility of building such structures under the ice, a precursor project named Camp Century was undertaken. Officially,...
Could We Colonize the South Pole? How Would We Do It?
sourceMy article the other day about the upcoming overhaul of McMurdo did well enough that it seemed to me a good idea to delve more deeply into the topic of Antarctic settlement. Obviously, given the numerous research bases there, it's possible for large human populations to dwell there long te...
