The Naming of Technobane

I though a lot about the name of the sledgehammer I was creating. It would have to be descriptive, yet terse. A hint of deeper meaning beyond the surface wouldn't hurt either. While all this was running through my mind, I was hanging out at a friend's appartment. I had my then unnamed Technobane with me, and commented that I felt like smashing something. My good friend Aaron Scott kindly offered his old computer as a sacrifice to my destructive impulses. (note from the picture that the handle carving was completed, but no wood burning had begun yet.)

In this case, as in all cases, the violence was taken outside. You can see here the last known photo of the condemned hardware.

For those with strong stomachs, go ahead and download the video. Otherwise, here's what was left over at the end.

And so, "Technobane". Death of technology.
